So I joined Weight Watchers a couple of weeks ago. Yep, I finally took the plunge. It was time to get serious about eating better and exercising. It was hard because I had grown accustomed to eating treats more often than was, um, prudent. It was hard: first I had the excuse of being pregnant and then the even better excuse of having just had a baby. Also, this wonderful bakery opened near my house. It’s SO good! Yeah, for a while I was going a couple of times a week for lunch (and the chocolate peanut butter cheesecake or a cupcake). Some of the staff even know me by name (hi, Katy).
So yeah, it was time to do something. My first goal is to lose 19 pounds. The first week I lost 5.4 lbs., 1.4 lbs. the second week, and 1.2 lbs. this last week. It’s been going pretty well, although I have to admit that I’ve been slacking off on writing down everything I eat. But I am eating better (I miss you, Katy!) and I’m exercising 3 or 4 times a week. Of course I’m looking foward to being thinner, but I also want to be in better shape and have more energy to do things and run around with E.
I’m just trying to keep motivated and be positive about it.
Way to go girl. I am proud of you.
Keep up the good work. By the way, the bakery has a great Tuscan Soup that is pretty legal. If you can just pass up the other goodies staring you in the face while you wait for them to get it.
Good for you! That’s wonderful you’re making such great progress. It’s hard to break the habits we make while pregnant/early nursing – it’s so easy to make excuses. I know I will certainly have some tough habits to shake (goodbye, second breakfasts.)
That’s awesome! It sounds like you are making GREAT progress. Losing weight is so hard! You’re lucky that you don’t really need to lose lots of weight. But being healthy is always a good goal.
