This blog is for me. It's my attempt to hold myself accountable for the choices that I make. I have embarked upon a journey to a Better Me. I joined Weight Watchers on Jan 28 and weighed in at a whopping 299 pounds. Today, I weighed in at 277, for a 22 lb loss in total over the last 8 weeks. To many, that may not seem like much at just over an average of 2.75 lbs per week, but to me it's GREAT!! I have done this by not depriving myself, and by making good choices. Along the way I have splurged when I wanted/needed and so far I have only been tracking points and not using my activity points or weekly points. I have to keep considering that it has taken me 41 years to create this disaster of a body so I can't expect it to be "fixed" overnight!
A friend of mine who is also doing WW put me onto Luna Bars. These are 5ppv for each bar and have the texture of a rice krispie square in many flavors. I travel often for work as I have an office in 2 different locations that are 2.5hours drive apart. These bars have been a life saver because they cure my craving for sweet, texture AND they are high in protein so they are filling.
I just found Walden Farms' Whipped Peanut Spread, and Cholcolate Dip today at Publix and let me just say - WOW. Mix them in FF Cool Whip and they are a great luxury dip for fruits and at 1ppv for 1/4 cup it jazzes up fruit so its not always the same old same old....
I write this from a hotel room, and tonight I did well! I had Chinese for lunch today so for dinner I had White Albacore Tuna Salad with a Tomatoe and Romaine Lettuce - total for all was 4 pp. Add to that 1pp for the chocolate cool whip dip and 1 cup of strawberries. Supper plus my lunch today will put me at my Daily PPV of 43.
Well....off to "work". I will be back!!
