So to start, this week had mostly been about tracking what I've eaten and cutting down on beer and boredom snacking. Borsnackeling?
But the good news is I lost a total of 5 pounds! And Eric lost one pound!
It's been a little slower for him as he is just going with my plan instead of joining himself. For some reason it's ten dollars more expensive for men to join. He claims sexism.
The weight watchers daily points totals are based off your weight and since he weighs less than I do he should be eating fewer points than me. Hence his slower progress. But a pound is a pound and we will take it!
I splurged a lot this weekend as I had a friend in town. But I still tracked everything and had 16 splurge (points plus) points left for the week.
I am feeling very positive now and planning meals for this week off of the simple start program. So hopefully we well see more progress.
For exercise on nice days we walk the driveway and on icky days, which are becoming more prevalent, we have dance parties in the kitchen while making dinner. It's not a lot but as we both have desk jobs we have led very sedentary lives. So every little bit is helping.
I am looking forward to noticing changes in the way my cloths fit. Especially since I only have one pair of pants that actually fit me at the moment!
My reward to myself next month if I have lost 10 pounds or more is to buy new pants!
I know a couple of you are waiting till the beginning of the month to start. In the mean time let me hear from you.
What are your personal reasons for joining? Personally I feel gross. I hate that bending in the middle had become a challenge. I want to feel good and feel good about my body.
What sort of comfort food can you not live without? Mine is warm bread! But I am keeping it as a treat and eating more whole grain breads instead.
What are you doing to increase your physical activity? We are trying to incorporate a little more everyday. Parking at the back of the parking lot and walking more.
How are you feeling today?

Love you all and stay strong! Together we can do anything!

ReplyDeleteThis is a good encouraging read
I started at 155. For me it was seeing the rolls of fat on my back after I put my bra on! Yuck! I am eating basically what I normally do but much less and am using carrots for snacks! Friday is my weigh-in day so we shall see. Love the food tracker. I'm not tracking my exercise cuz I can't due to my torn Achilles tendon. I feel like a slug! Jabba the Slug!
ReplyDeleteYou can also do upper body work while seated. That will help a little. I use jars of jelly for weights. And then just do tricep and bicep curls. Just cutting down on portion sizes has helped a lot too.
