This will be the year that I am successful with my weight loss journey! There will be no more excuses! I am one of "those" people who have started Weight Watchers many times, and as I see the success happening, I quit being so diligent about my journaling and then I begin to slack on what I eat and before you know it I am right back where I began. NOT this time! I am determined that this will be my successful year! I need to be healthy for my kids and my weight right now is VERY unhealthy! I am blessed to have a supportive husband who will be making this journey with me. Not to mention that one of my girlfriends and I have a little side competition going on. We will see who loses more by Valentine's Day. Now mind you this competition started a month ago, and since it has started she's lost weight where I have gained weight. So it's not looking so good for me right now. But I do have a month and a half to catch up and pass her! :) That is the short term goal.
Last night was a bit of a challenge. My daughter's 20th birthday was the other day and so it's been a tradition since they were little that they get to pick the restaurant we go to for dinner. Well she had to work on her birthday so we went last night. Thank goodness she picked Applebee's! They have Weight Watcher friendly meals! So I devised a plan and looked up their nutritional info and had my meal picked out before we even got there. I am proud to say that I stuck to my plan and did not even look at the menu! We usually drink water when we go out to dinner because let's face it, the price of a soda at a restaurant in insane! So by the time I came home I still had enough points left over for the day that I was able to have 2 glasses of wine! I know those are empty calories, but it was good and I was darn proud of myself!
Today is Day 2 and I know it's going to be great!
