I had to change my lunch plans around. Instead of having my peanut butter sandwich and yogurt, I went out with the VP of my department. Luckily we went to a restaurant with great salads, so it was easy to make a healthy choice. And I only ate a small piece of the (yummy) bread and ended up not using any dressing since there was bbq sauce on the chicken. I guess it was lucky that the chinese restaurant he suggested was closed on Wednesdays!

I'm still going to have my afternoon snack, since I'm planning on two hours at the gym tonight so I won't eat dinner until after 8:30. (UPDATE: great snack, very filling and yummy! I actually liked it better than my usual snack of laughing cow and wheat thins, and the wasa had half the calories of the wheat thins and lots of fiber.)

I did it, I joined Weight Watchers online. I debated it because I thought that I should be able to do this on my own. I know what I need to do and I plan to do it, but I just don't follow through. I did great for the first 6 weeks or so, but the last 2 months have been only so-so. I believe paying for Weight Watchers and using their online tools will help keep me accountable. I'm going to keep blogging and I'll note point values instead of calories. Any activity points I earn (under exercise) can be added to my 22 point daily target. I also get 35 additional points per week, as needed. I'm going to try to minimize my use of the additional points, but it's nice to know they're there for any special occasions that come up and I can use them guilt free!
