So today i went back on weight watchers.

So today i went back on weight watchers. Some of my girls from the job are on it too. This is all part of my back to basics. So today is another day one. The good news is that i am down 24 pounds since i originally joined last august. So i am happy about that . I cooked last night pork chops, rice, string beans. So that was my lunch today and it was pretty good. But it felt good to be taking care of myself. I am starting a walking program. Its an 8 week 5k plan. I was talking to my coworker today and decided to set a more concrete goal that is in the plan. So my goal is to
Be able to walk 3.5miles in one hour consistently without feeling winded. More later

ww-update..back on flex

i got a lot going on with this blog, but this is my Weight Watchers post. I did Core last week, but it felt SUPER "diety" (don't look that word up in the dictionary) and as a friend pointed out, I wasn't eating enough food. So i am back on flex..

...in other news went back and weighed in for the 1st time this year on Monday 1/21 and i lost 2 pounds since before Christmas. Don't know what to attribute that to, but its all good. in the end God gets the glory anyway...

I took some pics of myself and put it on my refridge. its my before pic (even though i have already lost 17 pounds since august). We can start here - no biggie. Eventually i will post it up somewhere.. not sure where yet..myspace, here, a weight loss website that i start up.. who knows.

ok off to bed.

Weight Watchers - Core - Day 1

Before I start my usual ranting, those of you not familiar with Weight Watchers (WW), Core is an alternative to their points plan where you eat from a basic (long) list of healthy foods and you don't have to count points. You only have to work on not eating past satisfaction. You still have 35 points that you can use to eat additional things and of course you can eat more (if you like) if you exercise - and earn what are called activity points. All foods are assigned a pts value based on calories/fat/fiber.

Anyway, today was day 1 of that for me. I think I did pretty OK. I cooked on Sunday and some today and I am definitely eating more healthy and i am not hungry all the time. I am going to have make sure I am creative about what I eat, because I can get caught in a rut. I was going to try to cut out red meat, but baby steps.. I think I will focus on following core with the full range of meats. :D I am just not ready to let it go yet. I had a recipe blunder..i will discuss more on that at a later time.


Anyway, I am heading to bed, because I have an appt with my personal trainer @ 6am.
