Weigh-In Time
Posted by Chris
Weigh-in day again! I like weighing in at the end of the week for two reasons:
Okay, blah blah blah - the weigh-in... Hit 199 (on the new scales). Actually was something like 198.6, but I'd rather count next week as even greater loss :-) That puts me at having lost 11 pounds in 5 weeks!
I'm almost halfway to my goal of roughly 184-ish. That would be 26 lbs total. I'll likely reach 13 lbs next weigh-in.
I'm feeling pretty good. The 'newness' of WW wears off after a few weeks as your stomach adjusts to you actually eating healthy :-) Andrea still bears the brunt of figuring out healthy meals and tallying points for each of them. I could do it without her, but it would be very difficult. She has some new light cooking magazines that work great - good food, new meals to try & the necessary nutritional information for the entire dish (as opposed to having to figure out the info for the ingredients).
I'm also beginning to work out with more regularity at the Y. In fact, tonight the boys fall into their normal spring soccer practice schedule - both at the Y on Friday nights, which works great for me. They can go to practice, & spend time in the Y playing while the other is practicing & I am working out.
- I get busy throughout the first part of each week. By weighing in at the end of the week it kind of 'sneaks up' on me. When you're losing weight pretty much each week this is exciting!
- I like having the weekend ahead to start the week. The way Weight Watchers works, you have a certain amount of 'points' (found by using calories, fat grams & dietary fiber) you have to eat each day. You also get an extra 'bank' of points that you can use to go over your daily allotment - useful when you want to have dinner out on a weekend night.
