Day one of my journaling

Well, here is my first entry. I started my weight loss journey in late December, but fell off the wagon a bit over the holidays. I have gotten serious about it this week and am very happy with how I have been doing. I'm keeping track of my points and writing down everything that I eat. Quite a pain, but I can certainly see the benefit. That hand full of chocolate chips isn't really worth it when I have to go get my purse, take out the Weight Watchers guide, sit down with the guide and the chocolate chip bag ....realize I can't read it so I then go on a 10 minute quest to find my reading glasses...find the calories, fat, and fiber and calculate the WW point value. Just not really worth it. It's much easier to eat some grapes. I have also made a commitment to drink 8 glasses of water a day. That is not as easy as it may seem, and I feel like all I do is drink and visit the bathroom. Who has time to eat with that schedule? I got the exercise in 2 x this week so far and plan to exercise tonight and tomorrow, so still room for improvement there. That's all for now. I am anxious for Wednesday's weigh-in as I know I have dropped at least 2-4 pounds.

  1. Hi

    I'm glad you are doing this. I think it's great accountability and I'm finding more to write about. Looking forward to hearing about the weigh in. Stay with it as you have reasons to look good in a form fitting dress this summer.

    Look online at the challenges. I'm doing the 21 day challenge and picked exercising every day for 30 minutes for the next 21 days. Day 5 and I've accomplished it so far.
