One week later

As a result of going back to tracking Weight Watchers points, in one week I’ve lost 6.2 pounds.

Weight Watchers: This Shit Works.™

Weight Loss

Posted on November 5, 2011 by PDG

You know I’m back in weight loss mode when:

At Target, I put back a bag of Doritos after realizing that I had done a purge at the house
At the register I removed the bag of 50% off candy from the belt
Had a hunger attack at home, so I ate a bag of steamed broccoli and carrots, topped with oyster sauce

Back to basics

After weighing in this morning, I said to myself, “enough is enough”.

I did a food purge in the kitchen earlier this week, and now I’ve restocked the fridge with foods that I ate while I dieted on the Weight Watchers plan last year. I wasn’t really tracking points since early this year, and that’s about to change.

So, here we go again.

Weekend Randomness

DVR catchup time:

Terra Nova: Good show so far, strongest premiere episode that I’ve seen in a while.
Castle: Awesome superhero-themed episode. ’nuff said.
Hawaii Five-O: Unfortunate turn of events for Kono. And the mole angle is rather annoying, like they took a page from 24.
Alphas: Hands down far superior than Heroes ever was. Looking forward to the next season.
Glee: Just when I thought I was going to drop this series, it seems to have gotten better again, though the new ‘Quinn’s baby drama’ might be enough to turn me off.
New Girl: Picked up for a full season by FOX, and a casting change in the second episode, I’m still enjoying it, silly as it is.
Person of Interest: I’m really liking this show. Interesting premise, and the two lead characters are pretty cool, in their own ways.
Big Bang Theory: Still funny, to me. In any given episode, the main characters do something that I could see myself or someone that I know do.
Nikita: Yep, quite a game changer. Did not see Birkoff reappearing to help Michael and Nikita. And I’m one episode behind. Again.
Young Justice: This really is the true successor to Justice League/Justice League Unlimited.
Doctor Who: Loved the finale. All of it made sense, taken as a whole. Loved the “Pond. Amelia Pond.” line.

And I didn’t mention it last week, but my new guilty pleasure show is Pan Am. Enough was laid out in that pilot episode to keep me interested in watching. Plus, Christina Ricci in a stewardess uniform. Buh.

New microwave acquired. Never had one with a ‘popcorn’ button, which works wonderfully.

Had a package of ramen today. I can’t remember the last time I made this for myself.

I figured I could have ramen because I really have been watching what I’m eating lately, or more specifically, how much I’ve been eating. I’ve lost about 2 pounds in 2 weeks.

Sports quickies:

Good win by Spurs over Arsenal this morning.

My baseball playoff picks:

Yankees over Detroit
Rangers over Tampa Bay
D’Backs over Brewers
Cards over Phillies

Guess I’m not doing too good so far, huh?

I picked up a new scale because I was still suspicious of the weight discrepancy between the Wii, the old mechanical scale in the kitchen, and the scale at my doctor’s office.

And there’s still a discrepancy, but at least it’s that much more accurate. Heh.
