More, more, more....

So I have recently been informed that the reason I haven't been losing weight is probably because I'm not eating enough.  Which in the "diet" mindset I've had for 10+ years now makes no sense and is completely bogus! Everyone knows you have to eat less and move more to lose weight. Anyway, Ive bee doing Weight Watchers (again) for a year now and haven't even lost half a pound (unless you include the weight I lost when I had strep 2 weeks ago)! Weight Watchers follows a points system where you have a daily allowance of points (based on several factors) and in addition to that you have "extra" points that you can use weekly should you choose to do so.  Every food also has a points allowance an therefore, eating becomes a very twisted "banking" system of budgeting, spending, saving, your points.  Anyway everyone keeps telling me to eat more points since I workout so much.  I BARELY eat my daily points and never touch my weekly points, again going back to the whole "diet" mentality I've had for 10+ years.  I can't possibly eat more food to lose weight! Well since I've started running I decided I'd give it a shot and for the past two weeks I've been trying my hardest to eat more food.  And I've been doing it in a way so I don't feel like I'm gorging myself, where I add extra points on different days of the week according to some brilliantly laid out plan (the Wendie Plan).  Well today I was supposed to eat 10 extra points!!! So if my food choices today seem odd, it's because I was grasping for straws to try to eat more food....

Breakfast

Fat free cottage cheese with FRESH pineapple a.k.a the best fruit on the planet!

Snack

A cucumber (probably a whole one) with ranch.

Lunch

Realizing I had only eating 3 points at this point in the day I decided to eat the school lunch again] 3, yes 3, soft tacos with a side of spanish rice and a huge salad!

Activity

4 mile run! [I got new shoes that I was really excited to try out but they hurt my feet *sob* regardless, I ran my fastest pace since I started training for a half- marathon 10K.]

Dinner

[Here comes the grasping....] PB&J Shakeology, a little bit of lasagna, a WW brownie, and a WW Giant Latte ice cream bar.  I also had a few crackers and a slice of cheese while waiting for my dinner to prepare itself.

Overall

As much as it hurts I LOVE being sore because it reminds me (constantly) that I'm doing something right and I'm getting stronger every time I push myself to the limits!
