Last night I went and joined Weight Watchers. (Again.) The scale has crept up a bit over the last year and I’ve decided to finally do something about it. I’ve been exercising off and on again but I’ve been pretty lousy at eating well. I think if I get my eating habits under control I’ll make some real progress.
I’m planning on actually making a family menu every week so I won’t end up looking in our empty fridge, sighing, and then driving to a fast food place or asking N if I can order a pizza when it’s my turn to cook and I don’t know what to make. Aside from eating better I’m hoping that planning a menu will also help save some money on food.
I’ll probably post periodically about my progress to keep myself honest. I need to go grocery shopping today to stock up on fruits and vegetables and whole grains and such. Here goes nothing!
I've heard so many good things about weight watchers. Ha ha, I'll have fun watching you accomplish your goals as I get fatter and fatter! May even be a little jealous…
Planning a menu does simplify life and it doesn't take long…but it gets old. I try to make a 2 week menu by day, but I never stick to the days…I just make whatever sounds best off of the list. Sill, it helps. Good luck!
Way to go, Faith! I'm a big fan of weekly menus, mostly because I hate going to the grocery store more than once a week. Hope it works for you, too! I'm super impressed by your goal setting and want to follow your lead.
Planning meals really works for me (and I would have never thought it would just a few months ago!). Good luck! 🙂
