Weight loss!!!

Tomorrow is my official weigh-in day, but when I got on the scale yesterday I was down two pounds!! I know you aren't supposed to weigh in every day, but I can't help it. I like to monitor how I'm doing. And really I don't do every day, but it's usually every other day.

I've had a really easy time falling back into how to eat on WW, now I just need to work in some exercise!

Weight Watchers

I decided to sign up for Weight Watchers to help with my weight loss goals. I signed up on Thursday and haven't been doing very well at sticking to it so far. I'm good about recording everything, I've just had a little too much alcohol all weekend, and that throws off my points. Darn! I forgot that I need to adjust my food intake on days that we're going to have cocktails. I planned out breakfast, lunch, and dinner for next week all with things I know are low points. This is, I think, the fourth or fifth time I've done WW. I've always had really good luck with it once I get in the swing of it.

We also got our treadmill delivered, although we still need to assemble it. We were going to do that today, but John isn't feeling well and wasn't up to it. Bummer. Hopefully we can do it one night this coming week. A lot of times Will wakes me up around 6:30 for random reasons, so my plan going forward will be to just stay awake and get on the treadmill instead of heading back to bed. I have never been a runner, but I really want to work on running. It would be awesome to eventually be able to run a 5K and even a half marathon. I'm not holding my breath, but it's kind of a goal I have in the back of my head to strive towards.

Of course, I have two trips coming up this month, so it will be hard to stay on plan while on vacation, but I wanted to go ahead and sign up so I can at least try to stick with it. And I figure I have this whole week to do research on healthy options for the first trip.
