Remembering day 3

Ah day three of vintage weight watching was a total disaster!
I had errands to do. I was in my meeting, then had to go to my landlord to give him some paperwork, then in town shopping, picking up moving boxes, then finally lunch at my mom in laws. What does she serve? Potato pancakes with fruit. The worst combination ever blood sugar wise. No salad to compensate or anything else. I was starving so I had 1 and a half.
Later on so around 3pm my body started a rampage! I couldn't get my cravings under control. I packed up house a bit and did anything I could to distract myself, but to no avail. I caved. I ate way to much and felt nasty, that's how over eating effects me.

Today is a new day and I am back on my plan. I bought five "new" old 1985 cookbooks. I found an exchange download that is vintage weight watchers just without the name. I will be printing it out to take with me on the go. I will explain the exchange program to my mom in law so that she understands that her lunch meal yesterday was the reason she was hungry again an hour and a half later.
I want to share the link to the download of the exchange program just in case someone is interested. It will save you a few hours of Internet surfing looking for it.

Thank you Miss Maggie for this!

Today is day 4 of week one.
I canceled my membership to modern weight watchers.
Why keep it up? It's 40 Euros a month that I can invest in a gym membership. So the 25th of September is my last day, and yes I am happy about that. The modern plan didn't work for me. I have to admit, not enough rules. Tomorrow I am signing up to a gym with DH. The gym I want to join has a great deal right now. Join today and don't pay till November.
I am now learning portion sizes. The last three days I have been learning to listen to my hunger signals. I have yet a lot to learn but it is a good start.
I am learning to listen to my body and what it is telling me after certain foods. Boy can it be loud to! I did not feel good last night. I was bloated, stuffed, and cranky. No patience what so ever. Didn't have that since I started on Monday. Goes to show me how fast I can feel good or not depending on the foods I eat.

Breakfast this morning was three tomatoes filled with egg and cheese then baked. Very good. I have to admit I have to sit down and plan my other meals. The combination of packing to move by the end of this month and my one year old teething has left me with little time.
I know there are a few recipes I want to try. Bread pudding, whipped "cream" and apple "pie" just to name three.
