Thank you for the shouts of encouragement Mark, Vicki and Penny - I did not have a doubt in my mind you would all be there for me in this new journey. Vicki, you have my COMPLETE support of teasing your bro as much as you want... after all, that is what big sister's are for, no?
I gave myself a "bi" last night as when I arrived at my house, the place was a LOT dustier than I had expected with the kitchen being... well, gone... When I spoke with Mark at 6pm, I asked him to bring shawarma's home for our dinner as a "last hurrah" and also letting myself off the hook for dinner. In a way, I am glad that I woke up this morning with a stomach ache as it leaves a bitter-sweet memory of shawarmas that will make it easier to resist from now on.
So far, the first day "on program" (OP) is going well. I managed to quickly put together a 5.5 point breakfast (which included a latte, an apple and 2 Sm yogurt containers) and no longer have to "worry about hitting my dairy quota for the day. Lunch included some veggies and low fat dressing, a ww. "smart ones" frozen dinner and a fibre 1 bar for a total of 10 points. This leaves me with 11.5 points to play with at supper time to stay out of my "extra points allowance". Should be fine since I am hoping to make some homemade turkey burgers and a salad for tonight.
I had Mark take a "before" shot of me last night, though I am still trying to work up the courage to post it. This is COMPLETELY a fear of having to see my picture in print since all of you who are ready know full well what I look like... I realised with Mark taking my picture that I have been (yet again) hiding from the camera as of late. I am usually sneaking in behind someone or something (see the profile pic for an example of this).
Hopefully this will change when there is a bit "less" of me in pictures. ;-) And until then, I guess I am lucky to have a cute little one around who is usually the focus when cameras appear! ;-)
