Day 1

Well, Day 1 went.......ok. I logged my food in at school that I had before I came home and quickly learned that one of my favorite "healthy" snacks is not so healthy. FYI Smart popcorn is 7 points! Let me break it down. On Weight Watchers Online (WWO) you get a certain amount of "points" to use every day and then you have what I call "savings" points that you can use throughout the week here and there as backup. Personally, I don't like to dip into savings, even if it's just points for food. You can also earn extra points when you work out.

So, after logging my breakfast, snack, lunch, and snack, I had 8 points left for the day. Now....to me, this doesnt seem like a lot, but when you try to figure out what you wanna eat for dinner it's not much. Anyways, I would say for Day 1, it went ok. I was going to plan a menu for the week, but I am going to use this week as a see what I can do kind of week. As in, see what my favorite things to eat will cost me if I eat them on this points system and start to regulate portions with those if I want to continue to taste those things. So, my plan is to work on a menu that I can start with on Sunday.

I played basketball with my kids today and mowed the yard for an hour, so I count that as some exercise. My goal is to also start sloooooowly getting my body back in the habit of regular exercise and build up to what I used to be doing. Tomorrow I'm going to Zumba, which makes me happy and nervous all at the same time because I really don't want my fat jiggling everywhere, BUT I know that going helps that fat jiggle right off, so that's good.

Wow, this is a boring blog tonight, but it's a start.
