When we have dinner leftovers I usually pack them the night before to bring for lunch. Then in the morning I decide that it doesn't sound good so I pack some sort of breakfast food.
Monday night we had spaghetti so I packed up the leftovers and told Scott, "Now tomorrow when I said spaghetti doesn't sound good, tell me it will sound good at lunchtime." He agreed. The next morning I had a clothing fiasco*, so I didn't even go in the kitchen or have time to pack my lunch. I had cereal in my desk at work so I didn't worry about it. That afternoon Scott sent me this picture:
He wrote me a note on our whiteboard on our fridge since he wouldn't be there to remind me to take my spaghetti. I really laughed when I saw this picture! Too bad I missed the note because spaghetti really did sound good for lunch but I didn't have it with me. Then this morning the lunch dilemma started again. I looked at the spaghetti and thought oh I think I'll just pack some cereal.... and the cycle begins again!
*The clothing fiasco: Picking out what to wear each morning takes me a really long time. On Tuesday, I decided to wear a green dress and ironed it and everything. I put it on and was all ready to leave the house when I remembered that I needed to put lotion on my legs. I pushed the pump on the lotion to get some and it shot out all over my dress! I thought there is no way that I'm going to be able to get this off of my dress without washing it completely. So I grabbed the first thing I saw and put it on and left for work.
Side note: I haven't given a Weight Watchers update in a while. Here's a summary of my progress so far: Week 1: -1.8
Week 2: 0
Week 3: +.20
Week 4: +.60
Week 5: -1.8
So overall in 5 weeks I have lost 2.8 pounds. It's not a lot but I feel good about it because I've been having a hard time losing weight since we've gotten married. I'm going to stick with this and get more serious to make it to my goal. In Weight Watchers they talked about how sometimes weight fluctuates when we are trying to lose. Sometimes is will go up a little in between the losses, the important part is that overall we are heading towards our goal. So I am pretty happy that I have a loss overall so far. Now I just have to work harder!
P.S. Shyla and Liz do you see your announcements on our fridge? So excited to see you both get married very soon:)
