Today is my first official day following my Weight Watchers plan! ::cheers::
So far, it's going pretty well. I haven't reached my real craving time yet, though, which is late night. I have some carrots, which I hope will get me through. I may incorporate a little bit of olive oil (a la the Shangri-La diet) to help curb hunger attacks and cravings.
Anyway, I feel like I've done pretty well so far. I made some healthy choices when I had less healthy alternatives. We dropped by Chick-fil-A earlier today, and I ordered fruit with my meal instead of fries. That's a pretty big step for me, even though we don't really eat out much. When we do, though, I tend to indulge, and I made a healthy choice. I feel good about that.
I also chose a small drink, Coke, which I recorded in my Points tracker, and I filled up my water bottle so I can sip while I type. I'm also working to curb one of my worst habits - fridge sipping. That's what I call it, anyway. I'll stand at the fridge, grab a bottle (be it juice, coke, or milk), and take a few swigs. Instead of doing this, I make sure to grab a glass and actual measure out how much I'm drinking and record it properly.
Speaking of the Points tracker, I am loving this thing. It's such an easy way of keeping track of my points, and they have everything in their food listing. I was able to find all of the Chick-fil-A foods that I ate today, and it had all the point values already programed in there. It's awesome!
The Points tracker also has a recipe builder, so you can plug in all the ingredients of a dish that you make yourself, and it helps you figure out the point value. This thing is the coolest.
In conclusion, Day 1 is going pretty well so far. I'm hoping that I can keep up the good work through my midnight craving time.
Thanks for reading!

Oh thats so great, I'm glad you took that first step and joined. Don't you just love the website, it has every thing you need. Did you like the group that you went to? I had to try a few different times to find the one that suited me. Well keep up the good work. Hey I think I might pull out my points counter and start counting points again, may be I should give it another try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! I actually haven't been to a meeting yet, but I'm hoping to go next Tuesday. I wanted to get a head start on the diet, though. Best of luck in your efforts as well!
