Weight Watchers

I joined weight watchers 2 weeks ago. I found that food was the hardest thing for me to do right on this weight loss journey, and I needed some help. The first week I wanted to see how it could really effect my weight loss, so I didn't exercise... I lost 4lbs. 4 glorious pounds without a single mile ran, a single weight lifted.. I did NOTHING. I was shocked.

The second week I planned to work out. Then I hurt my back. Let me tell you people, hurting your back SUCKS. I would encourage you to avoid doing it at all costs. So no work out for me, and a lot of laying in my bed. I still lost 1lb! This week, my back is still in bad shape, but I am trying not to eat out as much and not lay in bed as much.

The thing I love about weight watchers is that it doesn't limit you from the things you love, it just helps you get better proportions. I love ice cream, and with weight watchers, I can still have it. Instead of regular, I buy light, and instead of 10 scoops I have 2 small ones. Just enough to quench my chocolate craving. Yesterday, a few friends from school and I indulged in Olive Garden for lunch. I chose to forego pasta and had soup, salad (dressing on the side) and breadsticks. Its helping me make better choices.

So, I have 61 days until Africa, which means I have 61 days to lose 30 more pounds.. A big task, but I am hoping I can begin to work out soon and get close to my goal.
