everything's on hold right now. i have a VERY sick baby. he spent most of yesterday vomitting and having diarehea (i cannot figure out how to spell that word). we went to emergency and were told to keep him hydrated with pedialyte and give him tylenol if he developed a fever. and of course he developed a fever late last night. he's so sad looking, it breaks my heart.

CORE is proving slightly harder than i thought it would. for example: fat free cottage cheese. i love cottage cheese. i could eat it every morning with some fruit and sometime with walnuts. yummy. well, i went grocery shopping yesterday morning before the sick baby began. i looked and looked for fat free cottage cheese. the only thing i could find was 1% cottage cheese. i began to think, maybe it was fat free cottage cheese. when i got home i had cottage cheese and unsweetened applesauce and strawberries. later i check the booklet and of course it appears that they are two different things. they both have the same amount of points, but only fat free is checked as CORE? zounds. of course i bought a huge container of it and I HATE WASTING FOOD, so i'll probably eat it exercise away the points?

last night after leaving the hospital i was so hungry and so upset and so tired that i couldn't think of cooking. we went to mcdonalds. i feel so embarassed about this. like i don't even want to write it down. i want to keep it secret, hush hush. i feel like i spend all my time here preaching change and healthy eating and following the plan and then what do i do the first day on the CORE plan? i gorge on mcdonalds. wtf? what is wrong with me? ugh. i am so disgusted with myself.

today's eats

1/4 cup cottage cheese (.75 pt), strawberries and unsweetened applesauce
cajun chicken salad: chicken, green and red peppers, fat free mayo, cajun seasoning, mushrooms
i made another salad for supper but added a lot more yummy things like radishes, red onions, avocado. the baby's fever got higher again this afternoon so i didn't have time to think of anything else to have
glass skim milk
i think later i'm going to have another little bit of cottage cheese (.75 pt)with some fruit. i did that. cottage cheese and strawberries and grapes and applesauce.



52 oz water
BL strength & sculpt (i snuck it in during first nap)--1.5 AP
i goat about halfway through the 'just my size yoga. it was my first time trying yoga and it's harder than it looks. it was relaxing though.

Just a suggestion, but I find alot of people start on WW with the flex plan cause it's not so drastic and you can do things like go to Mcdonald's. I see lots of people go on core to break a plateau. Just my 2 cents :)

Hi there! You can use your 35 wpas to cover the mcdonald's trip. I don't agree that core is drastic. You can do this!

Aww sorry to hear about your sick baby. I hope poor little boy is feeling better soon.

When I was on WW, I allowed myself the occasional McDonalds binge ... Instead of the BigMac meal (my fave), order the cheeseburger HappyMeal (ask for Mac sauce if you're craving a BigMac and you can hardly tell the difference), small fries and a diet pop. That's 14.5 points if you skip the Mac sauce versus 27 (!!!) if you have a BigMac Meal with large fries and regular pop!

Plus, you get a bonus toy for the wee one!
