It’s all up to me

I continue to be extremely please with how well weight watchers is going.  I always knew it was a good program but doing it with friends from work is the key for me b/c we’re keeping each other on track.  I decided to go for it and wore the size 12 jeans yesterday.  Granted, there was a bit of a muffin top but I had no problem sitting or breathing.  On Fridays it’s school spirit day so we can wear jeans and a school t-shirt/sweatshirt.  I just grabbed a t-shirt that’s a bit baggier so the muffin top couldn’t be seen and went with it.  Then, when we went out to dinner last night I wore the same jeans to remind myself that my hard work is paying off and that I should stick to the plan.  We went for Mexican and I made my hubby move the chips to his side of the table.  I checked the website prior to going and knew they had a light menu and stuck to that.  The only glitch was that I ordered a diet mountain dew and I’m almost positive she brought me a regular one.  She wasn’t the world’s best waitress b/c she barely came around so instead of getting a different soda I just asked her to bring me some water.  Plus, my hubby never got a refill on his soda so he drank mine :)  And as a reward I dipped below 200 again this morning (198.6!!!)

There are still 2 challenges on the horizon before my next weigh-in on Wednesday but the more I do this the more I realize that I CAN do this.  Tomorrow I’m at an all day thing at my mom’s.  I know what she’s making for the meal and it is not healthy.  I asked if I could simply bring my own food and she didn’t care.  I’m also going to bring some healthy snacks and a ww dessert.

Monday we have inservice at school which means going out for lunch.  With there being 3 of us in our group who are doing weight watchers we have it narrowed down to 2 restaurants and both have options that work.  We will keep each other honest.
