V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!!!! Yes it is a scale victory!

Yes, that is right! I lost 1.4 lbs this week the same amount that I gained last week. We are moving back down again. I could not have done it with the support of my friends. When I walked into my meeting today my leader said she was happy to see me. She was told about my set back and that I broke down in my meeting last week. She was going to email me or call me but she was not sure how I would feel about that. I found that very touching to see that I am not another face in the chair at Weight Watchers. The leaders care and so do the other members. They really rallied around me both last week and many asked if I had a better week this week.

So what did I do differently this week? Well I switched my breakfast food. Instead of cereal I am now eating oatmeal. There are a lot of hidden dangers in cereal as I found out. Most cereal lacks protein. Protein is very important to fuel your body and keep you feeling full. Let's face it breakfast does set the tone for your entire day. Don't believe me? Just try it!

The next thing I did was I made sure I ate more on the days I had a lot of activity. I don't recommend this to everyone. But if you are earning more than 5 activity points in a day you may want to eat a little more. Also, eating more does not mean eating more pizza and beer. You are going to want to eat more lean proteinns or incorporate a few more healthy snacks into your day. Just be careful and listen to your own body. Activity does not give you the license to overeat. Calories in is still calories out...no matter what.

I am VERY happy to report a better weigh-in this week. Thank you to all of my loyal readers for your support.
