I'm moving this week. Today and tomorrow to be more specific. So I'm not terribly focused on getting my wii workouts in today or tomorrow because I figure I'm already getting quite a work out in. Anyway, I'm also not relaly paying attention to my food like I should. Although this morning I talked myself out of the sausage egg and cheese crossant that I REALLY wanted and into the egg white on flat bread. Go me. For lunch I went to KFC and got 2 honey bbq snackers with potato wedges, ate about 3-4 wedges before deciding they weren't as good as I thought they would be and THREW THEM OUT. I kid you not. I actually did that. And that's all I've had today. I haven't been drinking water like I should and certainly not fruits and veggies but I'm fairly certain I'm staying under points and for the next few days that's probably all that's important.
Oh and I haven't updated on the dashboard in a while because I haven't had time, but I am doing fairly well on the WW scale, I've lost a total of 36.8 lbs! I hope and pray this week is another loss, I got two comments yesterday alone from people saying they can tell I'm loosing (of course yesterday was the first day in a long time I've gotten a comment like that)

the road less traveled (by me)
I am exhausted today. I wrote down 2 points for creamer because i decided to get a second cup of coffee late in the afternoon. Right before I got up to go get said coffee, I decided I had a chocolate craving and I knew I had the points for it since i've hardly eaten today so I grabbed a dollar before I went down figuring I would try to figure out which candy bar in the machine would do the least damage.
I selected a simple hershey bar because everything else seemed too high (snickers) or wouldn't satisfy what I was looking for (twizzlers) Plus it has the added benfit of absolutely not being my favorite, so I wouldn't be like OMG This so so good, I could have one more. So i put my dollar in and guess what. The stupid bar got stuck in the machine. So now I'm at a crossroads.
Choice A) I could go to the receptionist, tell them the machine stole money from me and get my money back. I knew if I did this I would go back and get the bar, but then i would get two, because the first one was stuck by like a small flap and usually you end up with 2 in these situations. And I knew I was at a point in my exhaustedness that I most likely would not be able to stop at one if two were in front of me.
Choice B) I could take it as a sign from the universe, get my money back and NOT go back to the kitchen, but let's be real. I would then have the money and the craving and I felt in my heart of hearts that my self control was just shot. I would have gone for the chocolate.
Choice C) I could take this as a sign from the universe, get my coffee and go back to my desk, forfitting my money AND the candy. But then my craving goes unfullfilled possibly leading to a binge later, plus I'm out 80 cents.
Choice D) Go get my money, and pick something else. Though candy options are limited and I chose what I chose a reason. But I could go for a diet soda, which MAY also curb the sweet tooth for 0 calories.
And the answer is......
C!!! I completely talked myself down. I promised myself chinese food for dinner, which I wouldn't have the points for if I used them on chocolate. And I evaluated how I was feeling and decided I wasn't really craving chocolate, I was just tired and hungry and my will power was way down. The chinese food (chicken & broc w/ hot & sour soup) is a better option because it has nutritional value, I've had no lean protein today and am a little short on my veggies. I figured the stuck candybar was a sign from the universe and the 80 cents was a sacrifice to the ww gods for the momentary lapse in judgement when I've been doing so well this week.
