My First Weigh In

Today was my first official weigh in day. My coworker weighed me at work and I couldn’t believe it! I was down 3.5 pounds. I am very pleased with myself. I have tracked everything I ate. And it wasn’t hard. I make my lunch the night before and go ahead and put it in the tracker. My husband works out-of-town Monday thru Friday so it is easy for me to decide what I want. I really like the tracking feature that WW has. And I am getting adjusted to the new Points Plus system. My hardest days are when he is home because I have not gotten to the point where have to realize I CAN NOT eat the same portions as him. But he gently reminds me to be careful with my portions. I was surprised that I am not hungry during the day. I seem to be able to control my cravings more. I do stress eat a lot at work sometimes. But I am learning to control it by drinking a bottle of water. Then if I need something I have a piece of fruit or some carrots. I am learning to make better food choices. Also I have just about cut out all my Diet Coke. This is huge for me. I was drinking 4 to 5 a day. It doesn’t help that we have a drink machine in our break room at work. :) I have also noticed that when I drink a Diet Coke that I have a hot flash. Thank you menopause. But anyway my husband and I googled it and we couldn’t find any data on this. So since I have cut out the Diet Coke I have been taking unsweetened tea to work to drink when I need something besides water. I just need to get exercising.

That is my goal this week.

Until next time….

A Good Beginning

I am so ecstatic! I did the first week of WW online and lost 1 pound. I had previously thought that I had not lost any. But it took me a couple of weeks to get in gear and join the site. I had checked out a WW meeting and was not comfortable there. It was an older group of ladies.Nothing wrong with that, I just wanted more people my age that I could relate to. The other meeting that I could attend is only 5 minutes from work but it is at Gold’s Gym. Yikes. You have to walk thru all those nice toned bodies. LOL. Not ready for that either. But the leader did let me purchase the Dining Out Book and the other book. Only because I had been a member in 2008. And I also got the new Points Plus Calculator. So I made the decision to join the online group for 3 months to see how it goes.
