A Few Steps in the Right Direction ...

Well, my first weigh-in at my new Weight Watchers group was this morning. Man, it's hard to drag myself out of bed at 5:30 and be on the road by 7:15 on a Saturday morning. At least I didn't see anyone driving the wrong way down the highway today (that I saw last week ... one of those moments when you're so tired you go "what the heck? That's not right?!")
Anyway, after an uneventful drive to the dirty 'Shwa, my weigh-in was fairly successful ... a loss of 4.6 pounds. Yay! Nevermind that I almost had to cut off a limb to lose it (jk). I have increased my activity ten-fold. I'm doing 45 minutes at least of Wii Fit Plus every night, and I'm also trying to walk at least 30 minutes a day. So it's working obviously. I also had 2 dine-outs this week, but I figure that's good, because you still have to live your life, right? I am tracking EVERYTHING I put in my mouth. I'm allowed 27 points a day plus 35 extra points a week to spread out or eat all in one day. Writing down what I eat is certainly helping. Man, I can't believe how much food I was eating before. Probably about 100 points a day or more. I've deprived myself on diets before only to crash and burn when my willpower wains and my cravings for everything I couldn't have take over and I binge and gain all the weight back. Not this time. No more deprivation. Lifestyle change, yes, but steps in the right direction to get over this hurdle and finally be a much thinner me!

Thanks for reading,
