I think I am really going to like my new WW leader. I think that will help a lot on the weight loss as the meetings are very important to me. It's another reason I didn't do so well with the online WW stuff. It does work for some people but I am just not one of them. I need to share stuff and have that person to person that the group gives. I am looking forward to getting to know the other ladies in my group and share this journey with them.
I told my husband last night that we were going to work our way back to to do hikes again. That I enjoyed that so much and that I was really enjoying the walking we have been doing even though it is not exactly warm out yet. It's been a long while since I have been this excited about trying to be a healthier me.
First day back with journaling everything for WW. I decided to use the
3 month journal I had just started last time. I ripped out the parts I
had done before. But before I did that I looked back and realized the
last time when I was struggling that I hadn't really been trying to get
enough fresh fruits and veggies. Plus I hadn't been choosing some of
the lower calories options. I was trying to do it with my healthy
foods that however had more calories to them. Like my 9 grain bread
instead of the 100% whole wheat I got this time. It makes a huge
difference in points. I was eating like 2 things at each meal and it
was no wonder I was hungry and didn't stick to it.
Today was
good as we got in a lot of fruits and veggies. Got all my milks and
liquids. Only thing I need to get to finish it off is to eat two more
points...I am saving that to do a desert with some strawberries and a
WW sponge cake single with a little whip cream. And to get my
multivitamin, which I just need to get the bottle and get one out to
take it. We also took another small walk today so that has been 3 days
straight getting in a small walk. It feels so good when we get our
walks and I know it is going to help to build up so we can start taking
longer ones as the weather gets nicer.
I had no trouble making it to the
Weight Watchers center this morning to join up. I had dreamed about
going back last night and woke up without my alarm clock this morning
since I was so excited about going back. This is a very good sign.
It's so much easier to get started off right when one feels very motivated about it.
It is also a great time of year to start
with adding in exercise. I can get built up to where I can enjoy the
warmer weather soon as spring is here. I am really looking forward to
do a lot of walking this year. To loosing down and getting back to
playing tennis again as I hadn't done that for a while due to gaining
back enough weight to slow me down.
I did WW a few years ago
when Winning Points was the plan. I did really good on it and lost
nearly 90 lbs. Then my mother passed away and I though I was still
going to WW I struggled and started to slowly gain my weight back.
Also during this time they change the plan some and my WW leader quit.
I stopped going about 2 years ago due to the fact that I was not
getting any where and my fear with driving (due to those accidents I
was involved with). Last July I tired doing WW online but didn't have
the motivation and also found the website hard to use as it had links
just going all over the place and was easy to get lost on. Plus I
really missed the support that I get from in person meetings.
I
really like the way the plan is put together now. I love the fact I
will be able to bank activity points and use them. That is much like
the way the plan was when I first did it. I also really want to
improve my health and feel better. This is very important to me and
that will make a huge difference to how I do.
I went and canceled my Curves membership today. I haven't been in to
work out in months. I decided I would rather spend that money and go
back to Weight Watchers. I can get the exercise on my own and do that
with my hubby. We use to walk a lot and I am looking forward to do
that again. We actually did a small walk today even though it was only
27 degrees outside. He is also going to be doing WW with me though he
won't go to the meetings. I hope to make it to one at 9:30 tomorrow if
the weather is okay enough to do so.
