Dieting

Let's start with my positive for yesterday. Yesterday was a decent day. I was sleepy but overall, for a Monday, not bad. My positive for yesterday would be: I PURCHASED MY TICKETS TO BOISE! I got them for a decent price (lowest in the past 2 years!!) and I'm WAY excited to go. This is the first time I'll be there in the spring and this is the first time there will be an extra person! I cannot wait to meet Ben! :) I know he's just dying to meet me too. Hehehehe!

I started a diet. I joined Weight Watchers online (it ain't cheap!) and I'm determined to get down the 10 pounds my doctor wants me to lose. So, I hit up Kroger's last night and stocked up on healthy food. I actually got quite a bit of food for about $110. I got items like yogurt, pudding, jello, Lean Cuisine's, Smart Ones, Healthy Choice, string cheese, frozen limeade cups, apples, veggies (carrots, celery, green peppers), low-fat mayo, low-fat ranch dressing, etc. I'm sure I'll have to go back and stock up for some more but this should start me off pretty decent.

My WW points are 24. Yesterday, I only used 16. I didn't have breakfast, a hot pocket for lunch (7 points for just ONE), a salad, carrots (with dip) and a frozen limeade cup for dinner. Not bad for my first day! I didn't get any activity points (Tina & I didn't walk yesterday, it ended up raining) but I did walk the stairs with Pam yesterday for our Tornado evacuation route.

So, I'm drinking my coffee now and then I'll eat my yogurt. My coffee alone (because it's flavored and I add sugar) is 3 points. Yikes.

Off to work!
