Well Im a little under the weather today and cant sleep so I thought I would start my blog. Need to be a little productive dont I???
I have been attending Weight Watchers at Work since January of this year. I have lost a total of 90 lbs. I struggle most with portion size and changing eating habits that continually haunt me. I literally take it one day at a time. In the past If I cheated I would just give up....I dont do that anymore I get right back on plan the next day. There is always a new day :) The one thing I like about weight watchers Is I can eat anything so really the only way to cheat is eat a bigger portion than your supposed to ....of course you have eating guidelines of 5 fruits/veggies...I eat alot of black beans, veggies and much smaller portions of meat (which is my downfall) I love finding healthy recipes by fellow WW members (Aimees Adventures.com and DWLZ.com) I could not live without those 2 sites. My husband went to OSU and obtained a degree in the Culinary Arts so he is a fantastic help when it comes to any cooking questions he is the main cook but I love to wear the chef's hat too....If you get a chance google...Hungry Girl...I love her ideas and her heads up of new healthy products.
Well I need to close for now.

ReplyDelete90 lbs? That's amazing! Proud of you, girl! Try walking with it. Many folks eat for a variety of reasons, one being a pacifier relieving stress and anxiety. Walking not only burns calories faster by boosting metabolism, it helps to discharge stress & anxiety - a motivator for eating.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, you are terrific. So great to connect with you again on Facebook after all these years.
