I went to a wedding today and basically ate a few berries and tomatoes to hold me over until I got home. They served appetizers/sandwiches and there really wasn't anything that I wanted that I felt like I could stay on plan with. I probably should have packed a snack. I didn't think we'd be there that long so I didn't.
I am definitely trying to make sure that I eat lots of healthy fat and protein. I did use a couple of my 49 weekly points today and that is what they are there for. My week ends tomorrow so I probably didn't use enough of them and should plan to use more for good oils this coming week. I am finding that it is fairly easy to use points for EV coconut oil (EVCO) and EVOO. When I was previously on WW I saved a lot of my points for microwave popcorn, fiber bars and even ice cream. Now, I am trying to make much healthier choices and feel much more satisfied.

Today we took our kids to a living historical museum. It is an 1800s seaport. Anyway, I was so exhausted I just knew I needed an E meal (Ha I typed e-mail the first time.) So, I decided on a sweet potato....so, so yummy. I definitely felt better after that.
Wednesday-
I was up a little today on the scale but wasn't surprised or upset by it. I feel confident that it will go down again. Today I went out for a run/walk with my Jeff Galloway 5K app. It was a perfect day for it and felt SOOOO good to get out and run again.

Today I went to a funeral. I packed some cucumber sticks, cherry tomatoes, and a string cheese. So glad I did. I ate it in the car in between the graveside service and the reception...there wasn't ONE thing there that I could have eaten. Sausage and potatoes, pizza, meatballs, potato salad, macaroni salad and ...nary a vegetable to be found! I ate when I got home.
I also decided to use a few of my weekly points to get some nice EVCO and butter in my diet. Hopefully it will pay off.
I am noticing that I really don't crave junk food lately. I was always a cookie/candy girl. I do like my skinny chocolate but really that is health food. I am much more satisfied eating this way. I'm also not afraid to use more of my points earlier in the day. Prior to THM, I always saved a lot of points for my evening snack.
Thursday-
Breakfast-(S) Oat Fiber Bread French Toast made with 1 egg and 2 whites, 1 tsp butter, a ladle of Gwen's berry syrup and some stevia sweetened maple syrup (4 Points Plus)

Supper-(S) 4 oz grilled chicken, cauli rice with 1 tsp. grass fed butter (5 Points Plus), Skinny Chocolate (8 Points Plus)
Snack-Strawberry Shortcake (1 Point Plus), Kale Chips with EVCO (3 Points Plus)
What a great week! Couldn't be happier....OK I would be happier if I reached that 100 lb milestone but it will come. It was also great to start running this week again too. I lost somewhere around 5 lbs in the last week and a half....after almost 4 months of no loss at all.

I am so happy to find this. I recognized your previous "diet" as the one i had been on. I lost 45 pounds but when i started eating carbs again and didn't follow the protocol i started putting the weight back on. I was excited about finding THM because my friends have had such good results but I am not seeing the results, I was sure it had to be related to the high protein diet i had been on. I will be following this to help guide me as I am not familiar with the WW points. Congrats!!
