Decision Time

Before I start my usual blog, I just wanted to share that I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support for this blog. Many people have contacted be since I started publishing to share their weight watchers story and to thank me for my willingness to 'put it all out there'. Thank you all for the support!

When you start Weight Watchers now, they suggest you start with the Simple Start Plan. This is great because they give you a list of foods to eat, meal suggestions and 7 PP for indulgences. It is suggested that you do this for 2 weeks and then decide if you want to do Points Plus, which involved measuring, weighing and tracking all of your points, or if you want to do Simply Filling, which is the same list of foods to eat on Simple Start but with PP for the week. I am going to try the simply filling. I like the list of things to eat. I am sticking to whole unprocessed foods, so this I think will be a good choice. I will reassess the plan that I am choosing in a couple of week.

This weekend was another weekend away. This time I was going to Chicago to visit family. I wasn't as nervous about this weekend, because my mom is also participating in WW and I knew we would be able to support each other. Here is a great picture from the weekend!

It was great being with family!

Monday was back to work and I was ready to buckle down and put in some hard work at the gym. I did a step aerobics plus abs class after work Monday. It is a killer class that has me drenched with sweat by the end of it. I also did Zumba on Tuesday and then it was weigh in day again. This was my 4th week straight of going to Weight Watchers meetings. It was also my third straight week of going to the gym after work. I think that my routine is starting to set in. I was really proud of myself to because this week I gained 28 Activity Points. This week went great, maybe because of the activity points I gained. I lost another 1.6 pounds bringing my total to 3.6 pounds down!!

More weight loss!!

This upcoming week I am going to continue with Simply Filling and going to the gym. I have also decided to make some long term goals. I really want a Fitbit Flex(http://www.fitbit.com) or a jawbone (https://jawbone.com)but want to work for it. So I have decided that if I continue with my gym activity, I am going to buy one for my self as a reward around Thanksgiving. 

Enjoy your week!!
