weight watchers, day one: so far 21/21 points with 3 activity points earned through week4 day two of the c25k program... plus day 8 of lent... so many numbers to keep track of! it's a lucky thing i'm pretty decent at adding! lol... plus, with my dinner, i had ice water with lemon juice poured in... it was really good... i think i'll do that more often, because i hate just water... the only time it tastes good is after/during a hard workout!
anyways, i really recommend keeping lemon juice in the fridge at all times... it's good to cook on fresh fish also... i bought a small bottle for that reason, and have used it on different salads and for other things since, to the point where it's almost gone... i didn't realize how much i'd be using it...
also, if you're thinking about joining weight watchers, i highly recommend it, especially if you're good at the online stuff... i don't know if you get access to the online tools by joining the meeting thing, but there's this tool on their website that you can type in up to three ingredients that you know you have and get all the recipes containing those ingredients! it is awesome to use, because i'll be able to look up the main parts of the recipe that i know i have, and come up with something good before i even get home from work... that way if i find something i can pick up the few things i might need extra on the way home! this weight watchers is different than the one i was used to when i originally lost all my weight too... it has set points, where you can eat as much as you want and not add any points... some things it wouldn't be good for, but sometimes i can gorge on fruits and veggies and it'd be nice to know that i'm not taking up any points by doing so... this time around i'm also much more comfortable with using up all of my points... after reading up on it, especially in blogs and on discussion posts, i've come to realize that starving yourself of calories isn't necessarily a good way to go and can actually have an adverse effect!
no that i'm more active, it helps too, because i don't mind using up those points either... i especially use them for a protein shake, which has quite a bit of calories, but is necessary for builing up muscle and recovery...
by the way, i also recommend getting a filter for your faucet... it's the cheape
st way to drink water... one filter lasts for 100 gallons! i've had mine now for a couple months and it's still good... it was like 20 bucks at lowes (prob cheaper other places too, i was just there and it was a spur of the moment purchase)... i would have spent at least twice that by now in bottled water! plus it's the 'green' way to go, lol...
if you can't tell, i'm feeling 100% better now that i'm on antibiotics, and therefore i'm rambling more than one of my first graders! so i'll leave it at that... i've already had to change the title of this blog three times to fit what i'm going on and on about... see, there i go again! have a nice night world!
