First week down, how'd I do??

Since my scales are confused, I can't say for certain what my weight is.  One day it says I'm where I was weeks ago before Herbalife, later that day I've lost 4 pounds, but the next day I'm down 7.  Either my body is that out of whack or the scales hate me.

For now, weigh in's are not happening.  I guess this means I need some measuring tape to keep track of inches instead...or just use my clothes as proof.

The new Weight Watchers system is different than the one I used way back in 07 or thereabouts.  The points on foods are higher since they use different nutrition to dictate it's point value.  My daily points are the same number though, which some days are a good thing other days, not so much.  But like last time it's not too strict to follow that I start craving bad food.  Right now I'm just happy to eat my meals again.

This week wasn't hard at all, minus measuring and keeping track of points.  That has always been my downfall. I think I had 4 days total where I tracked every meal, most days I'm good if I get breakfast/lunch counted.  The other hard part was seeing what our takeout was costing us.  One of our favorite things is 20 points, and I thought for sure it wouldn't be.  A grilled chicken sandwich worth 20 points is redonkulous!  And the salad from the same place was 14 points!  Salads are not supposed to be that high people.  It made takeout a whole new ballgame of planning and researching to find the best point values for things that sounded tasty that night.  What normally took just a few minutes of consideration turned into 30 minutes.  By then takeout lost it's appeal.

As far as exercise.....well I'm still trying to remember to fit this into my day.  It's hard to remember since exercise is not and never has been a part of my daily routine.  For now, I'm rocking out while doing the dishes and dancing around the kitchen.  That I can remember to do, LOL.  

So there ya go, my first week back on Weight Watchers...although now it's going on week two cause I totally forgot to blog.  I do have a couple recipes to share, and hopefully will get those out in the next few days.

It really is quite suprising some of the points in shop brought food such as sandwhiches, I find its best to take your calculator or eating out guide and make sure you work it out before you buy it.

Good luck with your second week.
