Well, my first week on Weight Watchers is over and I lost 8 lbs. I am very pleased with that.
I have to admit that I did not get any activity points, and I did eat out several times.
I was lazy and did not wake up in time to fix my planned breakfast every day, so I had to grab something at McDonald's about 3 times. I did choose an Egg McMuffin and a milk, so that was within my points.
I ate out at Wendy's once and opted for a baked potato and chili, which was a good choice. I also ate at Fazoli's and I asked for wheat penne pasta and I had 2 dry breadsticks with no garlic butter. Bless Paul's heart, he even ate dry breadsticks with me! They were gross, too!!
Both times I ate out, I went to their website and researched some choices and figured out what the points would be, so that I was prepared. I also ate some raw carrots beforehand.
I wrote down everything I ate and counted the points, even the last 3 Lifesavers that I found when I was cleaning out my purse!!
My first big goal that I have set with my doctor is to lose 80 lbs by end of July. She wants me to be able to eventually come off my cholesterol, and blood pressure medicines. I am on a low-dose right now, and I think this is going to be do-able for me. My doctor is going to check on me every 2 months and see how I am doing. She is very concerned about me and does not want me to become diabetic.
My goal this week is to wake up earlier and fix my own breakfast at home every day this week. And, I am going to commit to walking for 10 minutes each day.
