Week 1 - Lost 6.2 pounds

I guess you could say I had a good first week.  I still have a long way to go, but it is one day at a time, one foot in front of the other.  This week I just focused on planning, tracking, food prep and having the right kinds of things in the house.

I was really hungry for sweets, so I ate bananas and peanut butter a few times, but they cost lots of points, so will need to use that sparingly.  I ate mini marshmallows a couple of times.  I did find that I do better if I eat more protein.

There were a couple of days that we had events....New Years dinner at Mrs. Conlees is a challenge, she is a great cook.  Then we had Christmas with daddy and marilyn.  They had BBQ and key lime pie.  One slice of Edwards key lime pie is 25 points.....needless to say I had a sliver.  I had a stressful, drama filled night once this week, and was proud that I did not turn to food.  I had a nice icy diet coke, a nice hot bath and went to bed (who cares if it was 8:30 p.m. - I did not eat).

Anyway, it is on to a new week.  This week will have its own challenges because we are going to Jackson, Mississippi to see Jersey Boys (what a sweet Christmas present).  Dwayne has made reservations at Ruth's Christ steakhouse before the theatre that night.  I gotta be ready with my weekly points.  Then keep my fingers crossed for my next weigh in.

My WW leader on Sunday's is Carrie.  She has lost over 150 pounds. She is so great.  I really think I am going to like her.
