Lost 4 pounds!

This week (well, not quite a week. Saturday through Thursday) I lost 4 pounds! The weight practically fell off me since Saturday! I started a new BC pill, as I've posted about, and this week is my placebo week. The last week of the hormone pill I was frustrated with WW, so I was working out 45+ minutes 4-5 days a week and tracking everything! Well, this week I continued the working out a bunch and TRACKING EVERYTHING! And it finally worked! I know 4 pounds is more than they recommend, but I didn't expect what wasn't working last week to work this week. The last meeting I lost .8 and I did the exact same thing this past week and lost 4.

I'm going camping this weekend with some friends. I never realized how bad trail mix is point-wise! Last year we went on a 6 hour hike and I know the benefit of trail mix! (energy!) So I made my own, so I know the points. With all the nuts and dried fruit....my sandwich bag full is 20 points!!! I only get 23 a day, now! But allowance points will be used this weekend! But its nutritious for the 20 points! There is no chocolate or anything. Just low-fat granola, nuts, dried fruit.

Well, I have to get up early tomorrow, my car is getting fixed at 8am. The windshield wipers aren't working, its not a fuse, tried to change it....the repairman says its the multi-function switch and will be about $200. This sucks!

Bit of BC rant.

Okay, so I had BC issues and the doctor changed my pill. While on Ortho Tricyclen lo, I had no issues with Weight Watchers....I was losing weight normally. Doctor changed me to Ortho Cyclen (the monophasic one)...I got the generic Sprintec. I took it for the month...Weight Watchers was SO MUCH HARDER!!!!! I googled 'ortho cyclen and weight gain' and all the sites say that it doesn't cause weight gain. If you gain its because of other factors....such as not exercising or poor diet. WELL, I was working out AT LEAST 45 minutes a day and staying within my points with hardly any allowance points used all month. (and I retook the quiz, and I lost a point) First week on the pill, I did lose. The next week...nothing! The next week (technically a week and a half due to going to a different meeting) and I only lost .8 in a week and a half.....GRR!!!!

I've been off the pill since Saturday. (placebo week) and I've still stuck with my workout routine I got used to this past month. I've stayed within my points target (i did use 8 allowance points yesterday).....and I've lost 2.4 pounds since Saturday! This is Monday! STUPID PILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say, I'm not going to start the next pack. Adam and I have discussed the possibility of a baby after we get married and he wants one! So he wants me off the pill anyways. So yay!!!!
