The Bakery...

Today I started my job in the bakery, actually working around all that great, wonderful, smelly goodness.  You are probably thinking, there goes her weight loss.  O.K. so that thought crossed my mind once just because it is actually in my job description to do taste testings.  Oh my gosh, taste test a wonderful tasty treat just so I can tell the customer how delicious it is.  I am in trouble.  With weight watchers they say if you bite it, you write it.  So the next few weeks my tracker is going to say bite choc. cupcake, bite apple pie, bite choc. covered strawberries.  It will be ok, I can face this challenge.  I can still stay on track and do my job to 110%, it will be hard but hey someone has to do it right?  I am actually hoping that working here has a different effect of me, I hope that being around it all day, preparing it and selling is going to make me not want any.  Does that actually work?  I think it might.  It is well worth a try.  I am defiantly going to be getting some exercise at work.  Tonight we did a lot of cleaning (we are suppose to be getting inspected very soon, as in tomorrow).  Wiping, sweeping, moping, bending, lifting, etc.  I think this will help too.  We shall see, keep your fingers crossed for me.
I am trying to do better this week with tracking and so far so good.  I tracked everything I ate today.  I actually ate all my points too.  Apparently if you don't eat all of your daily points you can gain weight, which is what I think may have happened last week.  Some nights I was hungry when I was going to bed.  So, this week I am serious about this tracking business.  Hope it shows on the scale next week.  I like to weigh in on Tuesdays and I have that catchy title for my weigh in days; Tipping Scales Tuesdays, but I think I may have to switch to Saturday Mornings because of my work schedule.  I am on the closing shift so I am not out in time to go to WW on Tuesdays. Now I have to think of a catchy title for Saturdays.  Any suggestions?

  2. Way to go April. I got caught-up on your blog tonight. Some rough patches but your on track again. That's what counts.

    How about "Saturday Scale Scrunch" or "Scale Scrunch Saturday."
    Let me know what you come up with. I'll keep thinking.
