First Weigh In

Last night I had my first weigh in since coming back to Weight Watchers. I truthfully was a little worried.

I worked hard all week but New Year's Eve was quite indulgent. As in 48 weeklies indulgent in Weight Watchers speak. I wasn't out of control. I said prior to beginning festivities exactly what I was going to have and that's what I had. That actually feels pretty good.

If you have read any previous posts, you will know that I don't like to weigh in. I really try to focus on the journey and the day to day healthy eating because fluxuations  on the scale always break my spirit.

So, without further adieu....*drum roll*...I lost 7.4. Oh. My. I was pleased. I know it's a one time thing so I better enjoy it. That weigh in just showed me that I'm on the right track and my hard work is paying off. Just gotta keep on, keepin' on.

Now's also a good time for reflection on what is working and what is not working.

Typical meals include:

-cranberry English muffins with a laughing cow wedge
-omelets with goat cheese and sundried tomatoes, paired with toast
-veggie quesadillas
-bean and cheese tacos
-salmon and quinoa
-blue cheese wedge salads

and I've been pleased. I have made several of these meals lighter but they are all favorite items. I start back to school next week and I have already started making meal plans to keep the flow going! Think supportive thoughts for me! The battle has just begun!
