Weight Watchers Rewards program

Weight Watchers has a new rewards program for buying their products. Here is a link to the program:

It looks like a great idea! You can turn in your credits for products from their online catalog. I have not looked through the catalog yet. However, the way to claim your credits is definitely old school! I went to the link to submit credits, expecting to enter the UPC from the package (that is how Pampers does it!). Well, you have to actually print the form, cut out the UPC and mail it in. I know, probably doesn't sound like much, but I would rather just enter the UPC and throw my package away! If I can get myself to remember to keep the packaging and cut out the UPC I might go ahead and start doing it. I do buy a lot of WW products!

Last week I decided to try this and it was delicious! I did not check its Nutritional Value and assumed it was similar to the Spinach Feta Wrap I love so much! I had one again this morning and decided to check the Nutritional Value. Well, here it is. And it is not close to the 5 points the wrap is. This is: 9 points

I am very disappointed. I try not to go over 5 points when I splurge on breakfast. My breakfast is usually only 3 points. So I just ate half of my daily points on breakfast. AHHH~~~

Jason's progress

Okay, so I don't know what weight he started at, or what weight he is at, but I know he is working hard! But now he has another motive. He is testing for a few police departments in November. And he has to be able to run 1.5 miles. So, he is jogging on a daily basis, and doing sit ups and jumping jacks. He is working hard and I am very proud of him.

Now, for our rewards, things have changed. No more Hawaii and my camera was so cheap we couldn't resist. So, we both need new rewards. We are going to Disneyland in February. So, I am thinking I get a spa visit or he gets golf.

I would love other ideas for our rewards, share them please!!!

I think the scale is broken!!!!

Or, water and no wine makes a bigger difference then I thought it did!!

At my WW meeting on Saturday I was a little concerned. I was 132.8 last week and expected to go up more this week. Well, on Saturday I was 131.6. I really, REALLY think the scale was broken. But, oh well!! It is the same scale I used last week.

But, then I realized the changes I made last week maybe made a bigger difference then I expected. First, I have rarely had wine in the evening. Jason is not drinking wine, and is jogging (for other reasons now, more on that later) so I am not drinking either. That one or two glasses of wine in the evening makes a HUGE difference! Also, my water intake has been awesome! I have a 1.5L water bottle I am chugging out of on a regular basis!

So, even though I can't keep my hand out of my co-workers peanut M&Ms, I am still loosing!
