So Weight Watchers is going well so far. My roommate, Emily, has now joined the effort as well. This week, I've been craving junk food like it's nobody's business. And I feel like I've been hungry a lot. But I think I've just gotten used to eating when I get bored which is a terrible habit to get into! Needless to say, I'm definitely going to clear out my extra weekly points!
Recent Indulges:
1. This morning during defensive driving at Denny's: Bacon! 4 strips for 5 points. So worth it.
2. Last night: Steak, bread (with butter), and garlic mashed potatoes at Outback (split with Emily) followed by double dark chocolate ice cream with graham crackers (kiddie size) at Marble Slab... all for a grand total of 21.5 points. That must be some kind of record. I'll revel in that meal for weeks.
3. The first night: 3 oreos and nerds. 6.5 points total.
So it's been a tough first week, but I haven't avoided inserting any foods in the point tracker which is good, and I haven't had a radical change in diet. I have cut back more than I would normally, which I think is improvement and makes me think I'm more likely to stick to it. The main thing I've been doing is incorporating new, healthier foods into my diet which will help me stay fuller like...
1. 2 egg omelet with mixed cheese, fresh spinach, onion, bell peppers, and broccoli - 5 points total
2. Roasted red pepper hummus (great with carrots - 0 points!) - only 1 point for 2 tbsp.
3. Grits (yummy with sugar or honey and butter, or salt and pepper - and rather filling!) -3 points per cooked cup
Today, I have 4.5 points left (ha) and 7 left from the weekly points. And I have 3 activity points just sitting there, waiting to be used. Not sure how that works quite yet?
