Today wasn’t as perfect as my inner perfectionist would like but I’m going to write about it and move on.
coffee: 1
popcorn (tj’s kettle lite): 2 (great snack btw)
more popcorn: 3 (won’t have in the future)

tea: 0
chips: 1 (meh)
pita chips: 1 (good!)
mango dessert: 6 (I couldn’t resist this dessert and I think it’s worth the points for special occasions)

choc chips: 1
Total: 28 points or +6 over my daily limit of 22
Now that I ‘ve written it out, this really isn’t terrible. I’ve done much worse (this weekend in fact).
A few important things:
- Don’t beat self up over anything I eat. Keep calm and carry on
- Drink a lot of water and tea. It’s fun to have something like that to do
- Better plan for the week so I can enjoy without it taking me off plan, which is something I’ve struggled with in the past.
What I’d like to do this week of Feb 15th.
Monday: no workout
Tuesday: 30 min elliptical + lower and upper body weights
Weds: Morning yoga or 30 min elliptical
Thurs: Bodypump weights
Friday: Elliptical
Sat: rest
Sunday: Elliptical + possible weights
Welcome to my new blog Thin by Thirty. I turn 30 in 16 months and after struggling with my body and weight for the past 20 years (if you’re doing your math correctly you’ll notice that this started in 4th grade, thank you barbie) I’m ready to figure out a way to eat better, feel better about my body, be healthier and still go out and enjoy myself at times.
My goal is to figure out a way to live and eat sustainably. It is not to do a crash diet or to deprive myself in such a way that I can’t keep doing this for the rest of my life. I’m tired of being so obsessed about food and having it control parts of my life and I want to spend the next 16 months figuring out how to drop weight that I don’t need in a way that I want to continue doing.
Stats
I love reading stats on other people’s blogs so I’ll assume you’re the same
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 166 (as of today’s ww meeting)
Age: 28.5
Gender: F
Methodology
I’m doing weight watchers to accomplish this. I try to go to weekly meetings but I’m going to get even better about that. My plan is to create weekly meal plans and to post food diaries here as well. I find comments really motivating (as do most people) so please feel free to comments.
I’m a vegetarian but I’ll eat really good fish occasionally.
Rewards
I’d like to focus on rewarding myself for doing the plan vs. for just shedding weight.
Here are a few rewards but I’d like to come up with more:
- mani/pedi
- massage
Goal
My final goal is to maintain a weight of 135-145 in a healthy way
