Week 1 - Just the Beginning


Weight Watchers is a 17 week program.  I weigh in every Thursday.  So here I go...

June 16, 2011
Today was my first meeting.  I weighed in at 156.2 pounds.  The lady talked of the new program and handed out little brochures and information sheets.  The members shared stories and advice and I even installed the Weight Watcher apps on my phone and iPod.  I was super pumped about this.  I was ready for it.  Except for the fact that I was going to the beach this weekend, and vowed I would start on Monday.

Monday came and straight out the gates I blew my daily points.  I went tolunch with a friend and my old dining out habits kicked in: I ate what I wanted and so what.  I paid for it later when I realized my whole lunch had added up to over 20 points...jeez.  I vowed to get back on track before the next weigh in.  I didn't want to be the person who actually GAINS before their meeting. Bah!

The next three days I spent most of my time in the grocery store buying things like fruits and vegetables and low point dinners.  I bought new measuring cups and even some Weight Watcher chocolates.  I wanted to do this right.  I wanted to feel good about all of this. 

Learned something new this week - Eating healthy is expensive!
