Hello all!
Elana-Good vibes for your little one. Fevers and flus are awful!! I hope she is feeling better. My DD had the same thing and I actually ran out of sheets! So I hope you guys ocme through it soon. I like your idea of two veggie sat dinner, I may have to steal that.
Well my crazy headache is subsiding...surprise it coordinated with the kids I watch leaving early LOL. I was so happy to see thier mom at noon today! The motrin I took must be kicking in. My head hurt so bad it could hardly blink.
Well my first day back on plan is going well actually. I had a Healthy Choice meal last night, and went to bed with my headache so no late night snacking
I made myself some toast on WW whole wheat bread with low sugar jelly, but DD ate one peice so that knocked off a point LOL. I hope to exercise later today. We'll se ehow it goes.
Jeanne-One pound is good!!!! Don't knock it girl! I know we all do that step on teh scale and hope to see five, so one seems small. But really one is healthy and realistic. Plus, don't stress yourself out with that scale. I do that too! Pick a day and time and weigh yourself no more than once a week. You can go up and down a pound or more easily throughout the day. It's what you see in a long term trend over weeks and months. How much are your meetings? I only pay $12 a week and that's rather high. I don't buy thier products at the meetings. I have the complete food guide and dining out companion. But as far as food, I can find similar and cheaper stuff in the grocery store. You can get granola bars that are similar to WW bars for the smae number of points and half the cost. You just have to poke around the store and read labels. I do buy WW bread b/c I like it better than other 1 point for two slices bread, and teh bagels b/c bagels are often like 6 points and these are only two. But, I get those at my regular grocery store.
I did WW on my own with stuff from previously attending meetings. I created my own tracker and made little charts and stuff to track my weight using excel. I "officially" weighed myself on Monday mornings. I know lots of people who are able to do it on thier own. If you can and can get the support you need here and you feel you can get more from paying for a membership to workout then go for it. I love WW, I love my meetings, but I also feel that everyone needs to find thier own groove and find what works for them, combining programs, counting calories, whatever they find that works.
Well off to cook some lunch. I am in the mood for a giant salad!
