Yesterday Monday, March 20, 2012 marked my 11th week of weight watchers and exercising toward a healthier me in 2012. I went to Weight Watchers (WW) and was happy to find out that I lost .8 pounds in the last week which is a grand total of 10 pounds in 11 weeks!
I did this how?
*prayer, I joined a church one week ago and will continue to learn and grow in my relationship with God
*jointed WW and the gym the first week of January
*signed up for etools w/ WW
*planning and preparing meals on the weekend
*write almost everything down that I eat
*use of measuring spoon for most everything that I eat
*drink lots of water daily, eliminate all drinks with calories, no regular sodas, only diet
*4-6 servings of veggies and fruit daily
*breakfast daily, ex. yogurt w/ fruit
*lunch daily w/ healthy snacks
*low fat dinner w/ a snack
AND REMEMBER EVERYONE AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I DO FORGET TO MENTION, SOME OF THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARILY UNTIL YOU GET SOME OF THE WEIGHT DOWN.
A lot of the habits you would want to continue but some things like having smaller portions won't always stay the same. I get 26 points daily and that is to LOSE WEIGHT but once I am at my goal then I can add more points to maintain my weight. Another example is that after you get your weight down you can incorporate more variety, some fluids w/ calories etc. I chose to restrict the calories in drinks because I love to eat and I would rather spend my points on food than drinks.
It is a committment but one that I really like thus far. The harder you work, the more results that you see, the more you want to continue to work hard.
Please ask any questions. I have lots more to share!
