I did it! I got up early this morning and headed out for my first walk. It was 6:00 am and it was already a “too warm for an early morning” 82 degrees. It went fast and I enjoyed it, so why is it that I act like it is a huge chore?
I was blessed with a quiet house this morning when all of my boys slept in late giving me a chance to enjoy a cup of coffee and finish reading my Weight Watchers materials.
Tonight we are going to a birthday party. I almost postponed starting Weight Watchers this week knowing we were going to this party. The reality is there will always be an excuse to put it off, and I have to learn to work around these obstacles.
Last night when I got home from work I was hungry and we didn’t have any snacks that sounded good that were worth the points. I headed to the grocery store this morning in search of some point friendly snack options and here is what I found:
-
Jolly Time 100 Calorie Popcorn Bags – 3 points
-
Fiber One Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies - 3 points
-
Weight Watchers Smoked String Cheese – 1 point
-
Sara Lee Delightful 100% Whole Wheat, 2 slices – 2 points
-
Sargento Ultra Thin Provolone, 1 slice – 1 point
-
Kraft Chipotle Mayo – 1 Tbsp. – 1 Point
-
Green Giant Broccoli and Cheese Sauce Steamers – 1/2 bag – 2 points
-
Weight Watchers Vanilla Fudge Swirl Snack Size Cones – 2 points
-
Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom Snack Size Raspberry Vanilla Swirl Bars – 2 points
Several tasty options to fall back on this next week.
I navigated the party decently by eating light all day and planning to use my weekly point allowance at the party. I ended up using 19, mostly to cover my wine points. I skipped dessert and drank it instead.
Now let’s see how I survive the rest of the week with half my weekly allowance gone.
