Week One: Day Seven (Weight In)

Stats
WI: 170lbs
+/-: -3lbs
Exercise: 30 minute walk, down to beach and back.

WOOHOO!! I had my second WI today! I have lost 3 lbs since my first meeting. I have to add a note here though. I started tracking points a week before my first meeting, and according to the scale at home was 175lbs at that point. So, I am going to brag for a moment and jump up and down, because I have actually lost 5lbs since I started this!

I went to WI in a day early this week because Jason and I are leaving today for a weekend away to celebrate our anniversary. I am assuming I will come back to share some challenges!! Also, again, I walked today alone, even though my mom wasn't walking. Walked to ferry dock and back.

Oh and now that I am at a new weight, I have also lost 1 point a day. I am now allowed 23 points, instead of 24.

Week One: Day Six

Today was somewhat uneventful! I did not walk, decided to take the day off and had things to get done today.

I stayed within my points, and felt good. Waited a little too long for dinner, but was lucky I had a WW Chicken frozen meal in the freezer to eat. I have to say, their frozen meals are actually pretty good!

WI is tomorrow.

Week One: Day Five

Exercise: 45 minute walk to water front and back!

My mom was not walking today, but I did awesome! I still went and walked on my own! I have been allowing myself a sugar free vanilla tall latte each day for my coffee. I walked all the way to the water front coffee shop today, instead of just to Starbucks!

I also did a great job with my points. I didn't go over, even after Jason cooked me two burritos, only ate one.

Goal: I need to pick up my water intake.

Week One: Day Four

I stuck to my points, and felt like I did good!

No real challenges today! I made banana bread, and only had 2 small slices for an afternoon snack!

Week One: Day Three

It's Monday! I am off work for the next two weeks and plan to walk with my mom every morning to the Post Office and back.

Exercise: 30 min moderate intensity walk

The walk felt great! It is down hill there and uphill back! So get some great muscle workout!

Also, went to lunch today at a restaurant with my mom and grandma. I feel like I did good ordering a meal that didn't use a ton of points. A Thai Chicken wrap and salad on the side. Mistake: Should have ordered dressing on the side. I will have to remind myself to do that next time.

Today I did not get enough water. But, got a treat! I had a couple points left, so got ice cream!

Week One: Day Two

Today was a bit of a challenge. I did good all day, until we took Trinity to the race track. I get 24 points a day, and 35 flex points for the week. I had already decided to maybe treat myself today to a few flex points.

At the race track I got a drink, rum and diet coke (2 points), then I was a little hungry, so told Jason we could maybe split something, nachos or something. He brings back a hotdog for himseld and hands me a tray of nachos. I was like, NO! I can't eat all these (well, I could, but not now!). So, I controlled myself, ate one or two here and there and made him eat some! Then, we were going to move on, and we left the rest there. I was good, I only ate 7-8 chips total! What a waste of money though to buy them all, then leave most of them. Oh well!

Then, we decided to order pizza. Again, I had planned to treat myself a little, so was okay with pizza. Well, I was saved by a horrible P-Zone from Pizza Hut (so not worth the money!). So, only ate the insides, and saved myself way too many points!

I ENDED ONLY 1 POINT OVER!!! SO THE DAY ENDED BETTER THEN I THOUGHT IT WOULD!

Week One: First Meeting

Stats: 173 lbs

Today was my first meeting and first official weight in. I have to add, I am now weighing 25 lbs less then when I started my journey to loose weight last summer.

The meeting was interesting and motivating. I saw people that were reaching all kinds of weight loss goals, and it definitely showed me I could do it. They start by setting your first goal at 10% of your current weight. My first goal will be to loose 17 pounds.

Weight Watchers

I have started Weight Watchers. My goal is to be a healthy person for myself, my husband, and my daughter. I plan to do some journaling on here and update you on my progress, and suggestions on what works and doesn't work for me.
