WLL week 4 /SUB week 7- Laura

WLL week 4: up 0.8 to 196

Not sure what is happening with my weight loss efforts since Memorial day. I
wonder if the anticipation of Saturday's wedding (step-son) is causing a bit
of stress. I know I have been hitting the WOW chips a bit too often lately.
I also realized that our twice weekly outings to the club had my eating
somewhat out of control. So last night I took a bag of Light butter popcorn
with our dinner of chicken breast (to grill) and green veggies (to nuke). I
only had 3 shrimp in addition to the popcorn shared by 3 of us. This kept me
from sampling the other snacks that people brought to share. I usually bring
a plate of veggies but lately that does not seem to stop me from sampling
the salty snacks. For dessert, one of my friends who is doing the South
Beach diet brought an extra SF Fudge pop. So while mom ate Blueberry coffee
cake I had a melted fudge pop.

The upcoming wedding reception should use up my flexpoints for the week in
one fell swoop. They are doing a Clam bake type luncheon complete with
lobster. As long as I keep the amount of butter to a bare minimum I might do
okay. But who can eat lobster without butter? This will be a real challange.

SUB week 7: 4 days (3 walks & 1 water aerobics)

The amount of exercise has been increased this week. The pool is finally
open and I am doing the water aerobics 3x a week plus we are taking our
evening walks most evenings. Hopefully that will help my weight loss
efforts.

That's what I am hoping too. I guess butter is one more bad habit to break
this summer.

I have eaten clams, crab and lobster without BUTTER for years. The
meat is already so perfect, it needs nothing to assist it down.

For me it has been every-other month is good. My last good month was May.
June and the first half of July have not been very good. Hopefully after the
wedding things can get back on track.

OK, so not the greatest week, but one full of good decisions - the change to
your meal out for starters. Not to mention the aquar aerobics. 3x a week
has to be a good thing!

Good luck for next week Face that lobster challenge head on *grin*

Thanks Krys. Tomorrow will be a challange. I might just sneak the "I can't
beleive its not butter" spray in my camera bag. Then I can enjoy the lobster
and corn on the cob without sacricing flavor. Now I have to figure out how
much cake I can afford. g

The water aerobics has been great. The instructor really works us hard too.
Alternates working on arms and legs and I can already see a difference in my
arm.
