So this is the best I have felt (diet and energy wise) since having Grace. Probably since even before then....I actually feel that I can do this. This program feels sustainable....I don't feel like I am missing out on anything, all the extra fruit is making me feel truly energized! It's not energy from sugar that only lasts 10 minutes, it's real energy. I did pretty good with my eating yesterday and today. Last night we ended up eating in the food court but I had looked up the points values for the places I might eat and did good with what I had. I used my activity points and some weekly but I was well within. It felt good to be in control of what I was doing again, I knew I wasn't going to go home and feel terrible because I had over done it and blown the week, I knew what I was doing and it was a nice change.
As for activity today it was pretty minimal. I went for a walk with my mom and Grace for about 45 minutes. My mom is a pretty slow walker but it is better than nothing. I wanted to take advantage of getting outside while we still could. It looks like it is going to be raining from now until Christmas! I think I will just have to get out in the rain.....

Day 3
I am very proud to say that I am still on track. I had a bit of a slip yesterday but with my activity point and some weekly ones I was just fine. My eating was pretty much the same as the day before so I am not going to core you with that. My slip was 8 little chocolates out of my advent calendar. I had forgotten that I bought it and when I remembered I thought I should catch up! Well that wasn't the initial plan but that is what ended up happening. Usually that would have lead to a crazy day of eating but I managed to pull it back together and just move on. I did not get my dvd done but I did get a 45 minute walk to the inlaws. It is a really good walk with a couple of hills, add an 18 pound baby and stroller and it's a pretty good workout!
Today I have my SS class - hopefully it will be inside today as it is miserable out! I don't want to workout in the rain again...That was Tuesday and part of my walk yesterday. I prefer to be dry! I need to go to the grocery store on my way home to pick some more fruit - I have eaten just about everything I bought!
Tonight we are taking Grace to see Santa! I am so excited!!!!! I think we will be eating at the mall - Grace is happiest around 5 so we are taking her then. I am going to have to make some good choices!

Still Loving It!
I know if has only been one full day of the program but I still really love it! I ate so much better yesterday than I have in a while. Here is what my day looked like:
mini wheats with skim milk and pineapple
fiber 1 bar
1/2 contained vegetable soup, 3 wasa crackers with cream cheese and 2 slices deli chicken divided and an apple
1 cheese (little portion from costco - gouda) and a mandarin orange
chicken strips and baked french fries with some dip and 1/2 a carrot and some cucumber
WW pretzel bar (so yummy!)
5 16 oz. glasses of water
As you can see I ate a lot of fruit and veggies and no diet pop! I drank the last one I had in the house and have decided if I want one I will have to plan ahead and go out and buy one. I am not going to stock it anymore...I need to find some other options for a low cal "fun" drink. I also got in a 1 hour SS class. It was just me and the teacher as it was raining and it hadn't been moved inside. I don't think I would have gone if I hadn't already paid for the monthly pass. Today has started off good and I am planning on doing my dvd but I will have to see how Grace feels. I wanted to walk to my inlaws but I think it is just too wet - it started raining about 11am yesterday and hasn't stopped!
**I forgot to mention that if you want some more detail on the new WW program (I don't really know how to explain it) to hop on over and check out Juliet - she has some great posts on it. In my opinion it is great!

Points Plus
I love it! I went to the meeting last night and I think this new plan is amazing! On Saturday the leader just teased us with the fact that she has been following the program since September and lost 20 pounds! I know I won't do that as I am limited with nursing but it makes me so excited! I think WW has really nailed it this time - if you are looking for a change or a boost this is the plan. It is simple to follow and really promotes healthy, balanced eating. I bought a "Deluxe Member Kit" and it even came with a fancy little carrier. The kit included a 3 month tracker - I am going to fill it! I am just so excited with all the changes and it has really refocused me. I am going to the grocery store later today to stock my cabinets with some new options and get some fruit and veggies! I can't believe even bananas are 0 points plus!
So on another note I did get my walk in yesterday but I did not get time to do my dvd - I will do it on Wednesday. I have my SS class this morning and it looks like it is going to be outside! It's going to be a little yucky but I guess the fresh air is good for us! I don't have a plan for dinner tonight, I want to wait until I go to the grocery store - it'll be chicken and something.....Hubby writes his exam tonight - fingers crossed!
