Week 1! In the books!

YAY! Ok, maybe its not so joyous lol, OR I am just being very pessimistic.

Today was my Weight Watchers weigh in day. On WW, you weigh in once a week on a day you specify. I chose Saturday as I have someone who I am doing this with who also weighs in on Saturday. This was my first week on the program and I struggled. Not because of over eating, but because I could never use the number of points in the day that they alloted me. My weight, my age and my height has given me 49 PointsPlus Points. I usually end the day between 37 and 42.

So, it was my first week and I thought I would have this astronomical weight loss. I ended up losing 4.8 pounds. The Weight Watchers plan is designed to have you lose an average of 2 pounds per week, so I exceeded that.

My brother in law told me a week without a gain is still a win, so I think I will take that advise and be proud that I lost almost 5 pounds this week!

If I stay on course, I should be at my target by May, at which point Tim and I are going to start our Insanity work out regiment.

I hope that I did well and I hope that I continue to feel the strength that I do on this plan. I am able to eat normally, I don't feel cravings for sweets and am actually eating the number of meals a day that you are supposed to, which I never did before.

For all of you that support me, I thank you for your love and support!
