The sign you wear on your forehead.....

What does the sign say that you wear on your forehead?  What do you think people say about you when they see you?  First impression kind of stuff......

I think people used to look at me and think "fat girl" and they tacked this imaginary sign on my forehead with those words on it.  So, I was "fat girl".  Not a very sexy super hero name, is it?

I do the same thing.  I look at people while I'm out and about and make judgments about them.  I even sometimes imagine what their job is based on what sign I tack on their forehead.  I don't think it's necessarily something 'mean' or anything, but it's just a quick call about what the sign on their forehead says.  Today I was at Costco and in looking around the store I saw so many signs on people's foreheads.  For example, there was the lady with the eternally surprised look on her face - she became "face-lift lady".  There was the Asian lady, dressed very stylishly, and pushing a cart with a young child in it - she became "put-together-Mom".  There was the guy giving out sample of hummus - the way he was carrying on about being stuck giving samples of the 'healthy food' instead of the cookies & ice cream made him become - 'crazy sample guy'.  I can't say that I really remember any of the other sample giver outers - mostly because I DID NOT EAT ANY SAMPLES!!!!  So - I didn't have to do squats at Costco!  WOOT!  :)  I DID however have to do 4 sets of 10 today.  So, 4 LB&T's.  Not too bad.  And I tracked all of them too, so I paid the toll for my indiscretion TWICE!

Anyhoo - back to the sign you were on your forehead....  After I went to Costco I decided to pop into Plato's Closet to see if I could find a smaller pair of jeans.  I hesitate to buy too many clothes while I'm losing weight, but a new pair when I'm getting too small for my current jeans is a good incentive.  I found a VERY sweet pair that were size 9/10!!!  YEAH!!!!  I was looking in the mirror, admiring myself, when I noticed the sign on my forehead said "confident".  That was all.  I had 'the look' that attracts other people.  It was exciting to live it and to see it!

So - what does your sign say?  If it's something that you don't like, how can you change it?  If it's something that you like - congratulations!!!!

Breakfast:
     Jenn's Coffee w/ 1 extra t. sugar (I used our coffee maker for the first time and I made the coffee WAY TOO STRONG!!!!!)  (2 PP)
     Jenn's Oatmeal w/ bananas & only 2 T. of 1% milk (3 PP)

Lunch:
     5 oz. chunk white tuna in water, drained with 2 t. light mayo & 2 T. chopped jalapenos & about 1 c. carrots mixed in (6 PP)
     2 T. Roasted pine nut hummus (2 PP)

Snacks:  (I might have gone a bit crazy again today!)
     celery with 1 oz. 1/3 less-fat cream cheese & 1 T. jalapeno jelly (3 PP)
     12 sprouted almonds (2 PP)
     1 oz. dark chocolate almonds (4 PP)
     1.25 chocolate covered cherries (4 PP)
     1/3 oz. bagel chips (two of my LBT's) (1 PP)
     3 small clementines (0 PP)
     1 oz. Castleton Crackers - Putney Pumpkin (2 PP)

My other two LBT's were a sip of Scott's Arnold Palmer 1/2 tea / 1/2 lemonade.  Really didn't amount to any points, but it was mindless snacking nonetheless.  The other was a chocolate covered cherry. TOTALLY worth it! :)

Total PointsPlus for the day:  33

The night is still young and I feel like snacking on something else.  For some reason I'm craving oatmeal!  So, I'll make a serving and put some raspberries or blueberries (or both!) if my hunger pains don't subside in a few.  That will cost an extra 3 points.  My last day in my WW cycle is tomorrow & I have an extra 15 points remaining (plus my 29 for tomorrow), so I won't panic if I do end up eating more.  I'm inviting my parents over tomorrow for dinner and I'm planning on serving sirloin steaks, brown rice (a HUGE staple in my house!!!), steamed artichokes & salad.  I might whip up some sort of WW dessert - we'll see!  :)
