Weight Watchers

Well folks, I did my first week’s weigh in and I am down 3.5 pounds. Not too bad! I am very encouraged and excited for week #2. This week’s goals are more regular workouts and another 2 pounds gone.

Yesterday at my boyfriend’s mother’s birthday celebration (he took his family out to lunch at a restaurant of her choosing and was kind enough to invite me along) I had decided in advance that I was going to incorporate a Body For Life-esque “free day” since I had kicked ass all week, so I ordered a meal that I thought I would be pretty excited to eat after six days of nothing but lean protein and complex carbs.

And you know what? I’m happy to report that I really didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would. In fact, I only ate half of my meal (which I was planning to do anyway, but the fact that it didn’t taste that great to me after a week of healthy eating made it that much easier to leave).

I found myself wishing I was noshing on a crunchy salad or some fresh sushi instead. Maybe there is hope for me and my waistline yet ; )
