Drum roll please.....today was my first weigh in at Weight Watchers and I am happy to report that I lost 4 pounds today. I was excited for the loss, but more importantly proud that I was on plan the entire week. It was not an easy week at all and because of it I only focused on following the WW plan and didn't exercise. It was overwhelming trying to track and plan, but I believe that is expected during the first week, maybe the first couple of weeks. All in all it was a good week.
Today's meeting subject was geared around portion control. It was something I definitely needed as there was some hidden things I was doing that was talked about today. One of those items was just writing down what I eat instead of adding a value to it...for instance, if I ate a piece of cake, I would write down only cake and not whether it was an entire cake, a slice of cake or a sliver of cake. I need to hold myself more accountable in being a tad more detailed in my tracking. I think this will be beneficial if I ever had to go back look over my tracker to see what I ate on a successful week. I will plan this week to do a better job at tracking more detailed.
This upcoming week I will be focusing on getting more veggies in. Last week for my healthy guidelines I ate more fruit than veggies. While this is okay and I was on plan, I would like to eat more veggies as veggies have a great amount of awards in eating them. They also have more fiber than fruit. Nothing major to tweak, but this is something I want to focus on. I will also attend the gym 3 times this week. If I attend it more than the 3 days, all the better, but my goal is three days. I believe that is very doable.
Here is to an awesome week, I hope your upcoming week was better then this past week.
