So, I've been slacking. Not going to lie. I haven't been to the grocery store in weeks, eating out more, eating inconsistently, etc. Even my workouts have gone from 3-4 times a week to 2-3 times a week. So, needless-to-say, I've put on a few pounds. Thankfully, not a lot. I haven't had to buy new clothes and larger pants, but they are definitely a little snug.
I'm an avid subscriber of Hungry Girl, I read her emails daily and like to try out her recipes and suggestions. That woman is genius to turn the idea of weight loss into a career for herself, but I digress. Well, last week I found out that Weight Watchers has totally revamped their system. Before, the big emphasis of the program was a high-fiber diet. Having stomach problems, not only did I benefit from the weight loss, but this kind of diet really helped me, again, I digress. So now, they are factoring in carbs and proteins in the mix to emphasize a balanced diet. Having worked out with a trainer in the past, I know for a fact I don't get nearly enough protein in my diet, which is much needed for toning, etc.
So, I got to thinking, enough is enough. The holiday season is fast approaching, so I want to be proactive. Let me nip this is the bud now. Plus, I had a certain curiosity to check out the new system and see how many points are different and what I get to eat and don't eat this time around. Well, I bite the bullet and signed up online. I grabbed my gym bag today as well. Its time to shed these few pounds I've put on and maybe a few. Right now my goal is 10 lbs. I will reassess when I hit this goal and decide from there if I want to lose more or not. I'm pretty sure that I have roped my friend, Kim, into being my partner-in-crime on this little journey as well.
Stay tuned for updates, and wish me luck!
