Weight Watchers

Okay, so I really enjoyed being vegan for about two weeks. I lost about five pounds and felt better, except for those days when I found it very hard to get protein into my diet. On those days I went loopy. Chris would probably describe my behavior as crazy. So, I decided to add eggs and dairy into my diet and be a vegetarian. That worked for over a month. I didn't really miss meat at all, but I saw no benefits. I even gained back the 5 pounds plus more. SO, here I am going back to my weight loss roots. I'm going to try weight watchers again.

The last few times I've done it, I haven't been very successful. I blame my depression for those less than stellar results. Now that I'm very happily on Pristiq I hope to be able to count points and see results. I'm not going to join a group because I've done it so many times. I'm going to pick a day of the week and weigh at the same time that day every week. I'm thinking Thursday Morning. That way I can enjoy my weekends and use my bonus points and have the rest of the week to work it off.

I worked out a little today. I did part of a 20 minute Pilates work out. I know it doesn't sound like much to you, but after having hurt my back, my physical activity level dropped from almost none to completely non existent. I really liked it even though it was very difficult for me. I think it's exactly what my back needs to gain strength so I can take part in other activities.

So, I'm going to write down what I eat every day on my blog. I think the accountability will help. Maybe you can help me and maybe I'll help you. Who knows! So here is what I've eaten so far today... Don't judge me. I wasn't planning on doing this when I made my food decisions today...

Today I ate...
One and a half biscuits from Whataburger with sausage gravy- approx. 18 points! OMG!
Two tacos from Jack in the Box and a small curly fry- 7(tacos 3.5 each)+ 6(fries)= 13
New York Steamer Sandwich from Firehouse Subs (12 points)
chips - I'm guessing 5 pts.

18+13+12+5= 48 points! OMG! No wonder! Okay, SO, I'm supposed to have 30 points a day. Plus I have my 35 bonus points. So I went 18 points over today which leaves 17 bonus points for the rest of the week.

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. I can do this!!!
