Weight Watchers...Revisited

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!
