A New Start

I returned from my journey around the world only to discover 20 extra pounds that I don't remember bringing with me. Ignoring the problem does not seem to be making it go away so I am prepared to try more drastic measures: Weight Watchers.

Just writing those words makes me want to cry. The memory of counting points and weighing and measuring every bite I take sends a shudder up my spine - BUT - I do believe that it is an effective way of losing weight. If you stick with it. And don't lose faith. Easy to say at the beginning.

My husband thinks that eating vegan is healthy - SO, because I like a challenge - I will be starting weight watchers and going vegan all at the same time. yea...

I will be chronicling my daily food intake here (boring, I know).

Starting Weight: 190.5 pounds
First goal: 180 pounds
Final goal: 145 pounds

Today's Food:
Coffee x 5 (don't judge) with cream: 5 points
big bagel with cream cheese: 12 points
small bagel with cream cheese: 8 points
crackers with cheese: 5 points
goldfish crackers: 4 points
potato and broccoli salad: 6 points
2 homemade peanut butter cups: 8 points

Total points: 48 points!!!

Obviously, I didn't decide to do this "lifestyle" change until AFTER dinner and the two peanut butter cups. Its a starting point. I'm giving myself a pass for today but I am going to make my week Wednesday to Wednesday.
