Last night he was on his computer while we were watching Wheel of Forture, or The Wheel, as we call it (don't hate), and he all of a sudden said "HEY! You've been blogging!" Damnnnn...I kind of forgot he follows me (1 of 3 so it shouldn't have been that difficult), but he never updates his own blog so I didn't really see this as a problem. But there he went, stalking me...So I let him read it. I really didn't want to, but at that point I couldn't say no. But it ended up being a good thing. We had a really good talk. And he is making me get up in the mornings now (not my fav thing in the world, but I told myself I would). But I am one lucky gal to such a supportive and loving husband. He wants me to do better because I want to do better. We are encouraging each other.
Yesterday, I decided to join Weight Watchers. I mean, have you seen Jennifer Hudson! See looks AMAZING. And supposedly it is the most successful weight loss program since you eat real food and you are able to incorporate things you love and even those extras that seem forbidden on other diets. So I joined, got my official weight (yikes!), and went to my first meeting.
The meeting made me feel really at ease. I was probably the heaviest person in there, but it was women of all different backgrounds - white, black, older, younger, real old...But it was good. The topic was all about eating what you love. That there is no need to eat anything you simply don't like just because it is considered good for you or healthy. Hell, everything in moderation is perfectly fine. Moderation being the key word.
The lady leading the class asked us to write down things we eat that we just don't like..I thought to myself 'Uhhh, Lady, I don't eat anything that I don't like..obviously..that is why I am here!' But it was refreshing to know that I won't have to force something down that I just can't stand.
I then had to stay after for some sort of beginners meeting. Luckily, I wasn't the only one. The same lady that led the class led this meeting as well. The first thing she told us was that she had lost 127 pounds..Do What?! That is just mind boggling. And she had kept it off for 11 years. Oh and she is 65 years old and works out every day...Yea yea..I hear ya God..If this lady can do it at 65, then I damn sure can do it at 26.
So today was really my first official day of WW... Here is what I have eaten thus far:
Breakfast:
Slim Fast (that didn't hold me over and was gross and was 5 freaking points! No more)
2 Eggs (4 pts) with salsa (0 pts!) and some cantelope (0 pts!)
Lunch:
Tuna salad (with Hellman's Mayo, spicy brown Mustard & relish - 3 pts) with 7 Ritz Crackers (3 pts)
Handful of carrots (0 pts!) and grape tomatoes (0 pts!) & 1.5 T of FULL FAT! Ranch dressing (3 pts)
Of course as soon as I opened the tuna package, Gracie ran into the kitchen. Girl loves her some tuna. Then bugged me to death to get some..
I had already given her some at this point. Sometimes if you just put your hand down and she can't smell anything she will leave you in peace. Not the case with tuna...
I honestly haven't even thought about dinner yet. I better start making some plans ahead of time. Thank you, Jesus, for Pinterest and all of its countless recipes. A lot of which are WW approved!
My first weight loss goal is 5% which is 14 pounds. That's as much info as I am giving you about my current weight until later on. You can break out the calculator if you so wish. But I will cut you if you say one negative thing to me..Have a great day!
Love always,
Annie
