Wow! Today begins my last year in my 30s. Or as I like to look at it, I'm 21 with 18 years of experience! Well, no matter how you look at it, I've turned 39 and I'm one year closer to my metabolism backfiring on me. So, I'm especially glad that I have made this change. I'm on Day 4 and while things aren't "perfect" for me, I am keeping track of every bite I take and holding myself complete accountable for my choices.
Back to my birthday. My daughters greeted me after work with big hugs and kisses and fabulous handmade birthday cards. Those are the greatest gifts of all! I also received some fabulous gift cards for iTunes (workout music?) and Starbucks (lucky for me they have good, healthy choices!). I feel so spoiled! For dinner, I was given the option to choose my place of dinner. Where did I pick? Home. My hubby made me shrimp, steamed in Old Bay Seasoning, twice-baked potatoes (not my finest choice, but yummy nonetheless!), and a glass of white wine. I definitely went over my PointsPlus for the day BUT I was able to dip into my 'extra' points bank without running out of those. I'm pleasantly full and pleased with myself!
Tomorrow is another day and I feel good about what tomorrow brings.
I’m honestly not sure what the draw is to blogging for me. It definitely isn’t the “money” as I pretty much don’t have any followers (and if I do, I thank you!) and literally have ZERO sponsors but I think for me it is a form of journaling and that may be the draw. Last night as I was winding down from the day, I decided to give WW another try. I’d been paying for their services for awhile and when I “work the program” I have a lot of success. However, I’ve been avoiding the program for about an month and have had no success...go figure. My goal is to give WW one more month, follow it as best as I can, and reevaluate my situation then. I’m choosing to do the Purple Plan because I feel like that is the best one for me, at the moment. Right now I need more zero point options and this plan has the most. I preplanned breakfast and lunch, both zero points, which leaves me with 16 points for dinner. My goal is to only use 12 so that 4 will carry over giving me a little bumper for my upcoming
