Week One and Done

Who has two thumbs and lost about 4lbs this week?!

That's right... THIS GUY!

I had my weekly weigh in for Weight Watchers (WW) and I am down 4 pounds! Yay! I would call that a very successful first week. :)

So now I lose a point a day, so I'm down to 31. I think the big struggle is dinners. I'm slowly figuring out what is good faster food for lunches and breakfast... and thank God my morning coffee is only 1-2 points (depending on creamer). But dinners still push me to the edge of my points or leave me hungry.

Any recipe ideas?!

Stairmaster!

If you're ever on GMU's campus behind a rather large blonde girl who is panting and wheezing... chances are it's me. And chances are I just got off a flight of stairs. :) I'm taking this new diet plan seriously, and I've figured out that if I ever want to eat good food again I need to be more active. Thus, I've been trudging up and down stairs everywhere at work. I walk three flights down a parking deck, three flights up to the office, three flights down to teach, three flights up the parking deck again. And obviously my apartment is one floor up, so I always take those. And yes, this sounds silly talking about walking up stairs as exercise. But when you're overweight, every bit helps out. I do need to walk more around campus or my complex, I just need better shoes.

Ideas to make my feet feel happy? :)

Holy Banana Batman!

Thank God for fruits and veggies or I'd pretty much starve. I'm not uber complaining about WW because I actually get a good deal of points to work with! The problem is that moment when you search for a food you REALLY want to eat and see how many points it is. /sigh. The good news is yesterday I was able to order sushi and gobble up two rolls for very few points! :)

But yes, back to bananas. I love fruit and I do in fact love veggies (I just happen to like chocolate, meat, cheese and breads a lot more). So to see that they don't cost points makes me squeal!!! I think that's going to have to be my keep me sorta full until my next meal plan. So I need more fruit and veggies. The PROBLEM... they are soo expensive up here! SHEESH! I want a townhouse more and more so I can plant a vegetable garden...

Cheers!

Annnnd here we go again...

Starting Fat Awareness ... I mean, Weight Watchers.

Wish me luck, and expect more posts again. I just got a 3 month subscription, so let's see what I can do in 90 days.

Regular Points: 32/day
Weekly Points Plus: 49/week

I'm starting with a short-term 5% weight loss goal. Which should put me around 185.. good God when did I get so big :(

/sigh
