To track (write), or not to track (write).
Monitor yourself this week.
Thoughts for the week-
It's Easter weekend, so keep this in mind:
- 5 Dove bites: 5 Pts (totally worth it)
- 8 Hershey Robin Eggs: 4 Pts (waxy and tasteless)
- 1/4 cup Jelly Beans: 3 Pts (but it's not chocolate)
- Hard Boiled Egg: 2 Pts
- Track Food Points. Have your Tracker with you, always, and write it down.
- Track Vegetable servings.
- Track Water intake.
- Track Portion Size with scale or cup measurements.
- Track Exercise, type, time, time of day, etc.
- Track When you eat.
- Track Body Measurements/Size.
- Track Alcohol servings.
- Track Eating Triggers.
After each week, after each month, look over your Tracking Log to discover good and bad habits that will help you through your weight loss journey.
For example, I discovered any alcohol intake, even one beer, led to a high-Point day. Therefore I always think twice before consuming any alcohol.
I've also discovered exercising 3 times per week is optimal for weight loss; I really burn weight at that rate. However, it also makes me tired, so 2 times per week might be better. Detailed tracking/monitoring will show this.
In the same way, you will discover which habits keep you in place, or on track. You'll find meal combinations that fill you up while keeping your Points count in check.
Some other things....
- Remember it's more than Points; you need to follow the 8 Good Health Guidelines.
- We have the (WW) tools to succeed. We just need to select the right tool for the job.
- The program can get stale after a while, but find ways to "Get The Love" back. That is, do the program like it's Week One again: Weigh, measure, count, track, eat fruits and veggies, plan ahead, drink water, get off on being a little hungry, don't feel stuffed or starved at any time, find a friend to do the program with.

Closing Quote- (grossly paraphrasing)
What kind of egg are you?
Hard headed?
Soft hearted?
Deviled?
Sunny Site Up?
Regardless, you are Eggs-tra Special!
