Here are my pics at month on Weight Watchers, before today's weigh in...it really is therapeutic for me to look at myself in pictures. I've avoided mirrors and photos for so long. Certainly I didn't want to see myself this heavy, but avoiding the mirror, scale, and pictures kept me in denial.
I lost 1.2 lbs this week for a total of 10.8 lbs in one month! I am pleased. I'd love to average 10 lbs/ month over this next year. If so, I'd be at goal in December (by my 40th birthday), and then I'd start the New Year in maintenance. After 6 weeks, I'd be a Lifetime member.
Hey, I have less than 100 lbs to lose now! I also earned my second 5 lb weight loss star.
It's still unbelievable how far I let myself go.
A little more about Saturdays...they are my cheat day. I add in a little bread or dessert. Something I wouldn't have during the week to stimulate my metabolism. WW allows a certain number of points daily, which actually decrease as you get closer and closer to your ideal weight. All members receive an extra 39 points to use as necessary during the week. Points may also be earned daily for exercise. I use some or all of my 39 points on Saturdays, then forget about them. The test if the week, I eat my 33 points plus whatever points I earn via exercise.
Breakfast: 2 eggs, hot sauce, flour tortilla on "treat" Saturday
Snack: clementine
Lunch: clementine, cucumber, carrots, red pepper, blueberries, and a steak sandwich with peppers and onions (again, a sandwich roll on "treat" Saturday)
Snack: a few tablespoons of yogurt w/ blueberries and a little banana
Weighing meats, chocolate, and other items helps me keep a grip on portions!
Dinner: blue cheese, beef summer sausage, more veggies, cheddar nut thin crackers, cup of beef broth
I enjoyed a little thrift and fruit/veg shopping in Austin after my WW meeting this morning. I took a delicious nap after lunch, then had an awesome bike ride with my five year old son this evening. Life is good!
