Case of the Wednesdays is composed of several wonderful women on their journey of creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We invite you to follow our journeys and share your own experiences!

[The name of the group comes from the group's founder who posted a "Weight Loss Wednesday" on her own personal blog. She had such an overwhelming response from her readers, she decided to create a larger network of women on the same journey and to have posts throughout the week.]

Randee: Week: 6

Eating Plan: Weight Watchers Points Plus

Goal: Lose 50 Pounds
Weekly Weight Loss: 0

Total Weight Loss: -6.4 pounds
Exercise Goals: 4 times a week for at least 30 minutes each time

Weekly Exercise: 3 workouts. 3 x 30 minutes
So…I really need to break the pattern of one good week and one not so good week. On the bright side, my parents have been here over a week and I didn’t gain any weight. On the down side, for the first time since starting this journey, I didn’t work out my minimum of 4 times. I have lots of excuses- but none are that great. I just didn’t get it done. This week I had days where I ate very well and stuck to my plan. But it turns out it doesn’t take much to talk me into something I shouldn’t eat. Now on Weight Watchers, you can eat those things if you plan ahead. I just didn’t plan so well this week.

It also doesn’t help that the 2 days a week that I work, I end up eating dinner at 8 or 9pm. I don’t have a good plan to get around this issue, because I just get busy at work. On the bright side, I pack my food these 2 days, so I always stay within my daily points. I did discover a great snack, some key lime greek yogurt and a few low fat graham crackers and I feel like I am eating Key Lime Pie. Pretty yummy!
Highlights from this week: I did not gain any weight even with my parents in town and my mom cooking, eating out and my dad and his desserts- Oh- and a family birthday party to top it off! Not too bad in the grand scheme of things. I need to try some new recipes this week to keep me on track and excited to be eating the food in front of me!

Challenges for this week: My parents are here for half of this week and this week will include a trip to their favorite place- Corky and Lenny’s. How much will power can a girl have? At least I can work on portion control, right? I just need to at least not gain any weight this week with all these eating out! I also need to get back on my exercise plan. At least 4 times this week, NO EXCUSES!!
Maybe next week I’ll have some more exciting things to share!
