So I weigh in tomorrow and I am not sure what I will see. I have not really been keeping track of my points the past couple of weeks, just sort of guesstimating my points, and I still have been losing. I have been exercising the whole time, but I am sure I was a little lax in the food choices I made. Last week I was really good with my exercising, and weighed myself probably a couple times every day. My weight fluctuated to either the same weight or a few pounds up. I didn’t even know I lost 1.8lbs until my actual WW weigh in. It was weird and frustrating.
I am hoping that I will at least lose my .6lbs that I need to lose to get to my first 10% weight loss of 28lbs. I will have met my first goal! Yippee! I am also wanting to start on my “perfect week” tomorrow. I am going to follow points and at least get in 45min of cardio each day if not the 60min that I want to do on the days that I am not doing my arm/ab exercises.
I am hoping to plan a menu for the week and also thinking of getting some Slim fast shake mix or some other protein powder. Is protein important in diets? Will it help me with anything? I am also hoping to take my vitamins every day.
Well ladies I am going to hang out with my man and our puppies now. Maybe a diet snapple? It’s my new kick… mmmmmm…. does tea enhance weight loss?

Hi Jessica,
Hey ya stopped by my blog (thanks btw!) and left a comment but no link to your own blog. I found ya though. =D
I’m on the Atkins diet, so yeah, I do eat a lot of meat, mostly chicken because I’m also counting calories as well as carbs. I don’t know much about the whole protein thing except that protein makes you feel fuller longer, so it’s a good thing to include it in a meal so you’re not hungry five minutes later.
I googled it though, and here’s what I found:
“Another study, reported in the Journal of Nutrition, showed that a high-protein diet combined with exercise enhanced weight and fat loss and improved blood fat (lipid) levels.
“Our research suggests that higher-protein diets help people better control their appetites and calorie intake,” says researcher Donald Layman, PhD, a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.”
Good luck on your weight loss journey!
Eileen
