In case you were wondering....

the Weight Watchers SmartOnes chicken and cheese quesadillas are disgusting! don't buy them.

Their cheese pizza is delicious though. Eat those instead! :)

2nd weigh in!

I lost 1.8 pounds!

It's a little bit but it's a good start!

I decided to leave the original group i signed up with. There was a lot of debate about price, despite us already paying, the 17 weeks being less, etc... It was too much variable and stress/drama... and I didn't really feel like the group was a good peer group for me.

So I'm working out details with the leader to get a refund or to apply my payment towards the monthly pass.

i am excited about this program and going to keep at it. yayyy

group defunct?

So I heard via email that despite paying $186 last Thursday for a 17 wk program + free eTools, the group might not "make" because we don't have 20 people...short 1 apparently. This means that we will either have to pay more for the 17 weeks, or do a 12 week session or something? I would like a refund if it isn't going to be the 17 wk. I'm not attached to my group so I don't care if I stay there or go somewhere else... I just don't wanna be ripped off.

We'll see I guess.

Drama!

p.s. I had a SmartOnes/Weight Watchers pizza for lunch and it was delicious! yum.

feeling good

I feel like I have kind of gotten into the groove of this now. I am keeping up with my points pretty well, and am definitely feeling a lot better, not eating crap as often. I just had a big salad with chicken, feta, broccoli, cauliflower, and a wheat roll on the side and am full - it was delicious!

I'm keeping track of all of my foods on weight watchers eTools and can say that I am getting kind of addicted to it. I suppose that could be good haha.

I did figure out that either my scale at home is way off (by like 10 lbs...saying im 10lbs lighter), or the scale at WW was way over. Eitherway, I think it's time to buy a digital scale.

I'm really hoping that I will see a change on the scale this Thursday. I am going to be disappointed if I don't see SOMEthing different soon.

I know it's early on, but I'm one of those people that needs to see it to keep after it. I've never successfully lost weight...unless u count the time in 3rd grade I "earned" an original NES for losing weight. Ridiculous.

im hungry.


that's all.

just had to say that.

so far so good!

I've been doing great with my points. I have 28 points that I have to eat every day for WW. I've stuck to it... and eaten pretty well.

Yesterday I had a salad at Central Market with broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, fruit, feta...yum.
Last night I made whole wheat spiral pasta, organic tomato sauce and ground turkey. yum.

This is pushing me to think about what I'm eating and to actually cook more. I can still have my pasta...just with a twist... trying it a bit healthier.

I am really hoping that a slight change happens on the scale next week.

Starting Clean

I decided to delete my old posts since they weren't very great and I totally trailed off and never kept up with things the way it was.

SO here's a fresh new start.

I joined Weight Watchers last night...went to a meeting... got weighed in. A little mortifying, but I did it. I'm hating that there are brownies staring at me on the counter, but feel like the system is something I can keep up with.

My first goal is to lose 11lbs. I am going to go shopping tonight for groceries and keep up with the eTools to track my food and points and whatnot. I think I can do it. I'm also going to get back to the gym and plan on playing some raquetball with Emerson this weekend. I put a weight tracker on the right side of the blog. It isn't for the full amount, but rather for the 11lbs, so I don't psych myself out. I'll be posting my progress!

Babysteps is the plan. I'm doing the meetings for 17 weeks (though it'll be longer since we already decided to black out 2 nights due to other things going on... and I'll have eTools for free for 19 weeks...

I'm BACK!!

After a long time, of sick, stress, and non-committal... I am back.

I am joining weight watchers at work. I'm actually excited about it, but dreading that first weigh in. We'll see. i know the number won't be pretty but I can do it.

So - stay tuned... I'm going to keep track of things on my blog. Get excited.
