So, two weeks ago I joined weight watchers. Before anyone sighs in disgust b/c you think that I do not have weight to lose let me just say that this is for me. I got on the scale a couple of weeks ago and weighed more than I ever have without being prego. And if anyone else asks if I am pregnant I just might kill them. So for the safety of others around me I decided to do something.
I called my good friend Jen who encouraged me to join and she would do it with me. So I got online and signed up for the free week. It is amazing keeping track of what you eat. It really opened my eyes to the incredible amount of food that I was eating. I would probably eat enough points for a couple people each day....yikes. Just to put things in perspective while I was pregnant with Dani, I practically lived on supersonic cheeseburgers with mayonnaise. That is 24points, my total allowance for the day. That is a huge amount of food.
Another really difficult thing for me has been the avoidance of french fries. If you know me well you know that I prefer french fries to almost anything. Especially mcdonalds.
It has not been as difficut as I thougtht it would be. MOst of the time I can ask myself, am I hungry or do I just want to eat becuase I am bored (or emotional). Luckily during those weak moments I have extra points to be able to indulge with some M&M's (my current fav) or a dessert.

I was a little nervous to weigh this last week b/c we spent the whole weekend with Frank and at out most of the time. I wasnt going to weigh, but I thought I better get up there and at least know what a weekend of unhealthy eating looks like. Praise God I still lost. Again, I know I dont have a lot to lose my goal is 15pounds and no more comments about whether or not I am pregnant. So there you have it.
Also, random comment, salsa dancing is hot hot hot. We went to Seattle last weekend to be with a friend and he took us to a lesson and then dancing. We sure enjoyed watching people and I even got asked to dance. I told him, "You know I just had my first lesson tonight, I am not that good. He indulged me anyway and it was fun!" We also took in lots of great food from The Pyramid, Bal Mar and a Thai place. The Mariners game was fun good thing they won!
