Today I got back on track. I swam laps at the Y for 30 minutes and then went to a Weight Watchers meeting. And I was pleasantly surprised that I had only gained 1/2 pound in the 4 weeks I was away. Of course I would have preferred to have lost, but that brings me to why I write this post…
About 7 weeks ago I decided that enough was enough and the scale had crept a little (lot) higher than my comfort zone allowed. I had been a member of Weight Watchers since baby number 2 was 15 months, and the program worked for me. It helped me lose again after baby number 3.
But as I explained, 7 weeks ago I was determined to drop 10 pounds. And I would be well on my way, and maybe even finished, had I kept to the program. But a flood, or can I say, hurricane, of excuses blew over me. And I stopped keeping track. And I started mindlessly snacking. And I stopped making progress.
Well that chapter is over and it’s time to get this taken care of! I’m back… with a vengeance!
So here’s the blogging part of the plan:
As I post my menu plan each week on Mondays, I will include or link to a few healthy-eating recipes and list Weight Watcher points values as I can. I will also try to include snack ideas each week to keep the bad munchies from taking control.
Every Wednesday from here on out is going to be Weight Watching Wednesday at MomsToolbox. I’m going to share my progress each week and also share a few things that are helping me lose (for awhile) and then maintain (after I’ve hit that goal). I’ll talk about eating, not eating, exercising and any other things that are helping me and I think could help anyone aiming for a healthier eating plan.
You might have already read of my interest in clean eating, and I plan to use that strategy, along with my Weight Watchers membership and meetings, to make healthy changes and share those changes with you.
I would like to encourage any of you who are interested in losing a few or a lot of pounds, as well as those who have already reached a similar goal to join me, as we strive to live healthier lifestyles together.
Let’s do it!
See ya Wednesday!
