Another Weigh In

I knew it was going to be a good night at Weight Watchers. I fixed Hubby his dinner, fed the dogs and walked them and then headed out through the snow laden streets of New Hampshire to my meeting.

I was the second person to arrive, and I weighed in. 2.4 pounds down! Yippee!!! I was so excited that I actually threw my arms in the air.

Because I was early I was able to talk to the Leader of our group and two other women about the program. We exchanged some thoughts and ideas and I really felt good about my accomplishment.

I love to eat. I love to cook. Embarking on this program was a big step for me. One I wasn’t sure I could do. However, since I am learning new ways to cook the foods I like, discovering new recipes for new foods, new ideas for meals, I find that it really does keep me interested, and I keep some quick meals in the freezer for those moments when I am not in the mood to cook anything at all.

Now here is the real challenge. Going out to eat. I haven’t been doing that at all since I started the diet, but I think it is time to give it a try. Perhaps a trip to Canoe next week would be fun!

After losing 22 pounds, I think it would be a nice way to celebrate!

  1. Seems we both have our own struggles. Now that I’m not smoking (mostly not anyway) I’m really going to have to watch the food intake – can’t let that become a substitute!
    Congrats on the 2.4 🙂

  2. That really is something to be proud of. Way to go! Celebrate!

    The restaurant plate sizes and portions have increased so dramatically in recent years. Alex and I have starting splitting a plate and adding a side salad. That way there’s not so much guilt in sharing a desert.. with two spoons of course.

  3. GREAT! Good work, you are doing so well. Keep it up and so happy this program is working and you are enjoying it. It is a healthy program! Yippee!

  4. Hi Mom,
    Congrats again on your great week! It is so exciting!

    I have eaten out a few times since starting my diet, and have found in most instances, it is not that difficult…. Breakfast is easy. Dinner I have done fish or chicken with veggies and potato, and NO BREAD from the bread basket! lol. It has worked out okay!

    Have a great day!

    Love you,

    Mandy

  5. 22 pounds! WOW I have been away a long time. That is something to be proud of for sure! Eating out at restaurants is always hard for me too – for the diabetic reasons. I find ordering an appetizer as a meal with a salad as an appetizer works well most times
