Day 1

let me start by saying that my first impression walking into the meeting was strange. i stood in the parking lot waiting for my mom like a nervous kid fixin to have my favorite toy ripped out of my hands.that was really silly. then when we walked in we were herded like animals into seperate lines to jump on scale and hand over our money.can i say, "not very welcoming"!!!! then about 50 of us "OVERWEIGHT" people were crammed into a room no bigger than living room. now can i say, "uncomfortable"! I cld barely move my arms and we were all sweating while the leader (no bigger than 75lbs) begin to talk and share the new Points Plus Plan!
even though that was odd and uncomfortable the evening ended with success. i was very excited to hear that i got 6 more points than my mom.lol-and that i wasnt signing my life away to all my favorite goodies. other than my dr.pepper (and NO i dnt like the diet one) i can still have limited amounts of my favorite sweets.
so far this morning has gone pretty well. as of 12pm ive had breakfast, snack & lunch and have used 13 points. I still have 22 more points for the day. I feel alittle anxious for something sweet other than fruit but once i get used to balancing the points i will get those in.
my food intake so far for today is:
2 slices whole wheat toast w butter
1 banana
1/2 cup blackberries & 1/2 cup blueberries
2 cups mixed greens w tomatoe & cucumber
2 oz. grilled chicken
3 0z. shredded cheddar cheese
2 tblsp. green goddess salad dressing
and my "7 pretzels"
not bad so far and feeling pretty full.
the next thing is to walk or not to walk after work.lol
thanks for reading, more to come :)
