New Motivation

Monday yesterday and decided to go along to sign up to Weight Watchers (again!) And I am glad i did. Got all new reading material and stayed for the meeting and it was great.

So from today I will be religiously following the WW plan.

Already I know where my problem was for the last couple of weeks. PORTION SIZES. After eating my breakfast this morning, I weighed my Weetabix Mini's (I am weighing everything this week). A normal portion 40g is 2.5 points which is about half of what I normally eat. I weighed 80g (5 points) which is what I usually have and can see where I am going wrong.
After eating the 80g portion I was allocating 2.5 points instead of the 5.

I am really happy about this, cos at least now I know where I have been going wrong. That was just for breakfast. I am sure with my other meals I am doing the same. So to be sure this week the food scales will be my nest friend. i will attempt to use them whenever I can to make sure i stay within my points allowance.

At WW last night, I found out I am allowed to eat 23 points per day. If I stick to the maximum 0f 23 points each day I WILL lose weight. Simple as that! Just for this week I am going to try for 18 points a day, so I know I will have a good loss this week.

So I have just had breakfast and already have used 5 points for my weetabix. I also allow 2 points per day for a pint of skimmed milk, used for brekky, cups of coffee etc. So that's 7 points gone already. I have 11 points for the rest of the day. Gives me good motivation to make wise food choices and to eat filling foods. I could make a butternut squash and red pepper soup which has 0 points (but cant be bothered - haha)

THIS IS IT GUYS!!!!!
