Weigh-in, lost .4 lbs.
(I weighed in last week at Weight Watchers, but did not attend the meeting. Lost zero, gained zero)
Today was total chaos at my Weight Watchers meeting with the introduction of the Point Plus program. It was standing room only and I just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible and review the new materials on my own. I had some extra time at the pickup lane at Logan and Aidan's preschool and pretty much figured out that food items have higher points now, but the daily allowance has also increased to account for it. The main difference is that all fruits and most veggies now have a point value of 0. In all honesty, I never really counted points for fruits anyway (especially since I don't care for bananas, which used to have a high value).
Speaking of not counting points, I've been guilty of this for numerous weeks. I think I have a good idea of the types of foods I can typically eat while losing weight, while being able to occasionally splurge and treat myself. Starting tomorrow, I am going to challenge myself to track points using the new system online for the first time in quite awhile. I am curious to see if I will be able to tell a difference in my weight loss or not.
And to finally comment on my weight loss with Thanksgiving...I feel good about losing .4 lbs, but I am also ready to have an outstanding weight loss week again. I had lots of splurges last week--popcorn at the movie theater with my twins, Thanksgiving dinner, and I even had 1/2 of a bacon cheeseburger at Chili's with a few fries. But, I was also relentless at the gym. On Thanksgiving morning, I did over an hour of cardio--20 minutes on the elliptical, 20 minutes on the treadmill, 20 minutes on the bike.
