Weigh in. Week 2.

My weigh in for weight watchers was yesterday.

Last week: 145.5 BMI: 23
This week: 142 BMI: 22

This week's change: -3.5 lbs, -1 BMI

Well, that's pretty damned cool. I'm sure it won't stay with such a great loss, in fact, I think 3.5 lbs in one week is too much. But if I can stay in the 1-2 lbs/week loss thing, I'll be thrilled. 12 more pounds to go.

I've done it. I've joined

weight watchers.

My scale showed me 145.5 yesterday morning. No bueno. I'm 5'7" and I can feel my body bounce when I run. So I need to lose some weight. No more waiting. Just do it. Now.

I joined weight watchers online. I started entering in my points yesterday and can I say "holy shit?" My breakfast put me at 17 of my 20 allotted points. 6 points for lunch and a Starbucks and I was 8 points over. BEFORE dinner!

I was 8 points over and famished. So I decide to work out to swap some points back. I jogged 30 minutes (a pathetic 2.3 miles, but I've got to start again somewhere) and "earned" 4 points. So not I'm only over 4 points. I ate a 1 point dinner (3 egg whites) and that was that. I ended up with a total of 29 points, 4 swapped so only 5 points "over" at the end of it all. Not too bad for the first day.

Plus, in addition to my 20 daily points, I have 35 weekly points I can use as I please. I had to use 5 of those for yesterday's overage and still have 5 extra/day on average. Looks like it may take me awhile to get used to this.

I don't want to give up my Starbucks though. I should since I may be cycling right now - I'll know Friday. But a tall non fat no whip mocha is only 4 points (instead of the 5 for the grande). I'll be living with that today.

Today's weight: 145.5 BMI: 23
