Wendie O'Weekend

Weight: 230

Today is the last day of my 2nd week, and the last day of my first week of Wendie Plan. It hasn't been hard to bounce back and forth with the points - except it's more trouble to remember how many you are supposed to have than if you do the regular plan of course. The low days didn't seem any harder than the higher ones. The hardest thing, strangely enough was to eat 36 points on Friday. I haven't decided if I'm doing Wendie for Week 3 or not, if I do, I will try to add more fruit that day to eat up some of the points. I don't mark my 'official' weight for the week until tomorrow morning, so I'm not sure how I did. I'm down 3 to 4 pounds I think because I've been bouncing between 230 and 229. I guess I'll make up my mind tonight or tomorrow morning about which plan to use for next week. Anyway, without further adieu... the weekend update...

Saturday was a lot of fun. We went to a show at the convention center and walked around for a few hours. After that, we took a long drive in the country, did some shopping, and stopped in 2 different bars for a beer. After dinner and a rest, we went to a horse and tack auction which lasted until about midnight. That was cool - got to pet a lot of nice horses. We were up at 5am and in bed at 1:00am. Haven't done that for a whille. Exhausting, but enjoyable. Woke up weighing 230. 10lbs seems to be sticking!

Sunday was fun. Woke up weighing 229 (woo hoo!). Walked in the cool morning air. Went to Lake Jackson for the Ron Paul rally - we got our picture taken with him hugging us! Then drove on down to Surfside looking for a place to rent for vacation. Discovered Beck's Light beer is only 64 calories which makes it the only 1 point beer I know of. Tastes really good too. Not the least bit weak. Stayed up much too late last night watching 2 episodes of Eastenders. Busy weekend.
