Hello everyone, how are you all doing? I hope well.
Let's see how I did on the first day of counting points. I tracked macros too so I could see what my points were.
Weigh in for the start of this part of the journey: 189.4 (same as yesterday too)
Blood sugars:
Fasting - 230 (yikes)
Meal 1 - 162
Meal 2 --
Meal 3 - 140
So....what did I eat?
Meal 1 - Red Baron Deep Dish Pizza - Singles (didn't eat all of it either)
- 12 points
Meal 2 - Tuna wrap (low carb tortilla wrap, tuna, mayo, no sugar added ketchup, 1 slice of cheese)
- 9 points
Snack: Caramel Cup Fat Bomb - 4 points
Meal 3 - Chicken cordon bleu (breaded) - 5 points
& some ritz cracker sandwiches - 3 points
Total points for the day: 33 (10 over, so using 10 of my weekly 35)
Now as for the macros? Let's see how they were.
Calories - 1,033
Protein - 67
Fat - 55
Carbs - 80
Net Carbs - 65
I don't think it was the worst day, although I probably would have done better to have a pizza wrap rather than actual pizza.
I went over on the points, but my calories were still super low. I guess that is because I didn't eat any "zero" point foods (well minus the ketchup).
Anyways...so what do you think of my first day doing the points system? Also, if you care to share - how did you do with food/exercise/health?

My sugar, fasting at least, was 100. So that's not too bad. I must be doing something right.I don't think I did too bad food-wise. Then again, I did forget to log it for the day. I'm not very good at that. Yesterday was a shopping day, so I didn't go out on my own to play Pokemon Go. Instead, I did it in the van on the way to Publix. However, I did manage to reach my daily step goal of 4,00 steps and still managed to burn almost 200 active calories. I also reached my goal of 50 active minutes (I dropped it down from 60) and that included a 7 minute workout using my yoga mat. Forgot to get on the scale when I went to public, too. I'll deffently do it next month before my doctor's appointment, so I can give them a number.

@MommyOfEli2013 For me, I think so. I burned some more calories today because I went to the store to get my husband's cookies. I offered to do it yesterday because Publix didn't have the kind he wanted.

I know they were high. And I know I messed up day 1. This may not work.

@just4him may just need insulin and forget weight loss.

@MommyOfEli2013 Don't give up. You might find that it will start working and you get good results.

It was high...but that's what I get for having carbs. I'm not doing good at all...but said I'd try it for a month

It will take you a while to get adjusted to eating this way. I think you're doing well. I had a bowl of soup.

@MommyOfEli2013 I guess this plan isn't going to work for you then.

@LindaOHio Yes, it limits the fats way too much.... I need to just stay 50 total carbs or less, and maybe allow 1 day a week where I can go over maybe.

I hate it after 1 day. Limiting the foods I enjoy to stay in the points is difficult. Soup sounds nice though

I felt like a failure going over on day 1. Day 2 and I'm already at 19 points because my snack was like 9 points.

@DocAndersen yup...don't know why I thought I'd could do it. If I liked veggies it'd be fine but since I don't...I think ww is out

Your fasting sugars are too high. I had my fasting a bit high today. It was 160. I had a late dinner than usual and it was a high carb one. I should be back to good below 110 from tomorrow.

I know it was. That was after a carb filled weekend. 160 is not too bad, compared to what mine was. That's good yours will be better tomorrow. Mine will take time to come down.
