Well, today is my first official day back on weight watchers. It worked great for me after I had Emma. I got pregnant before I reached my goal weight though. It's been 1 year since Jake was born and I am bigger now than after any of the other babies. So after a year of getting my feet back under me and with the school year winding down, I finally feel like I am more mentally able to think about what's going into my mouth. I also start at the Y next week. I hate to take the time and money away from my family but it is much needed to help me be a better mom/ wife.
So, I want to lose 50 pounds. Sounds like such a big, scary number, doesn't it? Most of all I just want to feel better and get some energy back. And feel better at the pool this summer too, of course.
I get excited to finally get serious and commited but it's also scary. I don't want to fail and I don't want to starve. I mean I really enjoy food! It's a good part of life. I've never gained a pound outside of pregnancy so I don't think I have a food problem. Losing it is a problem though!
I need to get used to the whole new way of eating and learn to make it more healthy but here's what I've eaten so far.
1c whole wheat Total....which I do like, 1/2 a banana...it would've been a whole one but my daughter wanted some and I knew she wouldn't eat a whole one with her cereal, and 1 c 1% milk.....I am a big milk drinker and I prefer 2% but I shall make the sacrifice!
For lunch I had french onion soup and a piece of baguette.
I also ate 2 mini candy bars from my kids easter stash....well they left them laying on the floor....what was I s'pose to do?
So, I'm actually okay for today, points wise. I have plenty left for dinner.
It does get a little tricky when I'm in a rush or on the road.
Well, wish me luck....next weigh in is next Saturday!
