First weekly check in of 2011!

I couldn't possibly show my (in badly need of a pedicure) feet on the scale so I snapped the picture after I stepped off! After hovering around 173 the last three weeks, I'm back on the losing train! My life is going back to some type of normalcy which is great.

My first full week on the Points Plus plan was a success, I lost 3 pounds! I must admit, I like the changes in the new plan. I love being able to use my activity points before dipping into my weekly allowance. Last week I racked up 49 activity points! I LOVE that you receive way more points for activity as well.
My workout schedule was this:

Mon- Rest
Tues- (AM) Turbo Fire 45 min, (PM) Spinning 60 min
Wed- Rest
Thu- Spinning 60 min, Core 20 min
Fri- Turbo Fire 55 min
Sat- Spinning 45 min

Kicking and screaming I'm trying to take my workouts down to five days a week from six. I no longer have to kill myself to get the results I desire. I noticed that my body was having minor aches & pains continuously in certain spots, I can't have that happening!

I know the only thing that kept me from gaining weight last week was my workouts, I ate all types of snacks and treats smdh! I did figure what I ate into my points values for the day but it was still more than I should have consumed.

This week I'm trying to get in five workouts, I'm heading to Houston on Thursday to get a few things prepped for my move then spending the weekend in Louisiana with my honey! I'm so excited, I need a little break :-)

Points Plus...WW online

I signed up for the WW Points Plus program online this morning! Several people have asked me, "Why are you going back to WW?"

The simple answer is, I like structure as well as balance and the WW program allows me to track my food and activities without rigid restrictions. I am far enough along in my weight loss where I don't need to "cold turkey" cut things out anymore.

The other question is "Why are you trying to lose more weight, you look great where you are?"

My answer for this is, my weight loss and where I'd like to eventually be is a personal preference. I am grateful for all of the wonderful compliments I receive but it's about more than that for me. My health is my top priority. How I FEEL is what I care about.

I'm not going to tell you a lie, I love shopping for clothes now and all of the attention I receive because of my weight loss. For a number of years I wasn't turning heads, that fucked with my ego! Especially when I did before I gained the weight. If I was doing this for attention I would have failed a long time ago.

I'm not going to spend tons of time talking about the program, I do plan on discussing my opinions and results at least once a week. I don't have the time to carry on about each detail of the plan. I'm still a work in progress!
