Wow, how easy it is to quit.  Well, I had some physical/medical complications.  My ankles and legs swell really bad and I went to the doctor which referred me to a vascular specialist which told me to stay off my feet.  Needless to say I was sad and happy at the same time for that.  Sad because I had just finished my first month of P90X and happy because I was tired of doing it already.  Now I have a hysterectomy coming up on Jan. 13th 2010.  My new plan is going on weight watchers while I cant work out.  From what I read typically people lose anywhere from 10-15 pounds just by having a hysterectomy so I was hoping I could keep that off with weight watchers while I cant do anything but sit on my butt for a while.  By the time I am able to work out again maybe it will be easier being anywhere from 15 pounds or more lighter.  I want to do weight watchers correctly, meaning its not just a diet its a way of life.  I signed up for this emealz thing.  Emealz makes menus every week supposedly based on whats on sale at the grocery stores that week but there are different plans to pick from.  I picked the any store points program.  They tell you it isnt weight watchers but it really is I guess they legally just cant say that, I mean what other points system is there?  I signed up about 6 weeks ago and have been getting the menus every week.  I am a picky eater so more than half the week menu I will not eat.  I have been saving them up as I refused to diet/weight watchers until after the new years since there seemed no logic in trying to do this on the holidays so I took the ones I liked from each emealz week and made a list for the week of things to eat.  It tells you how many points these things are and everything its great!  It is actually designed to save you money on your grocery bill and highly recommended by Dave Ramsey whom I think is getting over commercialized now but thats for another post.  It helps me so much to know how many points my dinner would be and not have to eat chicken and green beans every night.  I get to make some of the most awesome stuff and its only 6 points or less usually which is great.  I laid out my entire day, 5 point breakfast, 2 point snack, 4 point lunch, 2 point snack, and then 8 point dinner still leaves me 2 extra points not to mention my flex 35 per week.  I usually eat the south beach diet bars for breakfast or the weight watcher muffins both are 3 points each.  They are both very good too.  I also like to have one of those mini mountain dew or cokes in the morning to get up with a quickness and those are 2 points.  Then for a snack I like either water or milos tea sweetended with splenda both are 0 points, then I like one of those 100 calorie pack things.  For lunch I like green beans and potatos along with a 2 point mini drink.  Green beans are 0 points, the potatos I use  out of the can are 2 points and my mini is 2 points for a total of 4 points.  For snack, I like the same thing as morning snack.  For dinner it varies.  I chose to add the snacks into weight watchers as something I took from south beach diet about eating small meals several times a day to build up your metabolism.
