Initial Weigh-In .... Dun Dun Dun!

Last Night, I attended Weight Watchers Meeting #1! Things have changed quite significantly since the last time I did Weight Watchers.. for those familar with the program, they have combined their Flex & Core Plans to have one "Momentum Plan". It's designed for you to learn how to eat more filling foods for the same "Point" values as eating something less.

Honestly.. my biggest challenge will be Fruits & Veggies. I'm not a vegetable person AT ALL.. Corn, Broccoli & Couliflower are about the only veggies I'll consume! So I'm also making it my goal to expand my horizons and try different foods - especially in the veggie department! I think Salads look incredibly delicious, however, I can't seem to 'stomach' lettuce.. I'd really like to change that!

The Initial Weigh-In .. Wow. I'm glad that'll be the last time I ever have to see those numbers flash on a scale of any kind! My first Weight Loss goal set by the Program itself is 12.5 pounds. I wont be weighing myself daily.. only on the days of my Weight Watchers Weigh-In's which are every Thursday @ 6:00pm. Here we go!

I'm going grocery shopping tonight.. luckily, when I first did the program - many of the changes I've made in my grocery shopping habits have stuck with me. I have "weaned" myself from 2% milk to 1% milk and buy a 1/2 Gallon of Skim for my Cereal. I've increased Fiber in my diet, drink V8 Fusions to increase my Liquids, Fruits & Veggies. I've basically cut out Beef and eat lean Turkey (It's MUCH cheaper & tastier!) and have grown a love for Wheat Bread.

In our program last night - we talked about our daily intake of Liquids & Goals for ourselves over this next week. After all, small changes equal big success.

My goals for this next week include:

*Continue not to eat Fast Food (I havn't had ANY Fast Food of ANY kind since 12.30.08!)

*No Alcohol.

*Work Out 3 times a week for a half hour daily

Wish me luck!
