FINALLY! Something that WORKS!!

Yesterday was my second Weight Watchers meeting and weigh in and I found out that I'm down a total of 6.4 pounds in two weeks!! I can't brag enough about the program. It's helping me to make sense of what I eat and what's healthy. It's like counting calories, but better. Every day I have to keep track of my "healthy checks": getting in 5 servings of fruits and vegetables, 2 servings of healthy oils, 8 cups of water, exercise, etc. I've started eating so many more fresh fruits and vegetables because they have a points value of 0. Knowing the points vaules of foods helps me to make the healthier decision.

I'm really proud of myself this week. :) I think I can definitely stick with this program long term.

A Cry For Help

After a nice long Spring Break, complete with a crippling stomach virus, I'm trying to get back on track. At the benefits fair today at work there was a table set up with some representatives from Weight Watchers. I only had one question for them: Do you have an app for the Android yet?

The answer: YES

So, tonight I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting. I can't help but feel...free. My options for eating food are wide open as long as I stay within my allotted points. I don't feel like I have to deny myself anything as long as I do it in moderation.

The meeting itself was very informative. They talked about having a Plan B when it comes to exercise, so that if one activity falls through, you have something else planned to help keep you on target. It was something I hadn't really thought about. So, now I'm working on some Plan B's!

I feel re-energized about my weight loss plan and goals. With James now floating around on the other side of the planet I feel like I need to work harder than ever to reach the goals that I've set for myself.

Here's to ME! :)
