So, last night I went to my first meeting. The scale there screamed even louder than mine did at home, and I've adjusted my weight to 246.8. I picked up a couple of munchie foods there - some cheddar twists which are quite good at 3 points per pouch, and some protein type shakes that come in at 10 grams of protein each, for just 2 ponits a peice. I haven't tried those yet.
I also went to Safeway, where I found that the Chobani greek yogurt is on sale for a buck a peice for the individual serving sizes. Those come in at OVER 10 grams of protein each, and will cost me 2-3 points. I picked up 6 of those to try, along with string cheese, everything I need for Chili, lasagna, etc.
I feel ready!
Let's start with last night - last night I had SERIOUS munchies - I ate some smartfood, and had a cookie. I accounted for all of it, but still, this is NOT what I'm supposed to be doing. I need to choose healthier habits. I know that. I didn't feel like I was full after dinner, and felt like I had ill-prepared for that. Also, I wasn't really prepared for the meeting - I think on meeting days I'm going to have to make sure dinner is something that's "ready to go" when I get home, so I don't find myself at home, foraging for ANYTHING to stuff in my mouth until dinner is ready.
I still came in a solid 8 points UNDER my points total yesterday. Today I simply removed 5 points off the top. I really feel they give you FAR too many points on this system - at least at my weight. I think that NOW, but we'll see how I feel later. The leader did say it's okay to come in under, just make sure you're satisfied, and not hungry. . . so I'm going by those rules for now.
Now it's time to focus on work, and quit messing around with Weight Watchers Stuff. 2 recipes to follow in the next blog posting.
