When I started weight watchers, I decided that I was not going to add in the exercise component as long as I was losing with just the diet part. Well, folks, that day is here. For the last month or so I have been bouncing up and down the same 2 1/2 lbs. I had already decided to start walking again when the WW leader said the focus for this month is activity! Perfect timing for me!
Well, today I started. 10 minutes on the treadmill. 10 minutes isn't much, but it is 10 more minutes than I got yesterday. My goal is to do 10 minutes per day. Once I go on vacation, that will be easy, in fact, I'll blow that total out of the water with all of the walking I'll be doing on the boat & at Disney.
I am also proud of my choices today. I wrote down all of my points for breakfast and lunch and then decided on dinner and added that in too. Then I planned my snacks. Planning is supposed to help remedy that hungry-looking-through-the-kitchen behavior. I went to the BB&Beyond after work and didn't buy the chocolate drizzled popcorn, or the candy bar I was going to justify. I did have an extra snack in my bag and ate that when I got to the car.
You should wear a pedometer on your trip. Good tip to take a snack with you. I always bring something in my purse where ever I go, otherwise I end up buying junk in the check out line or going through a drive thru. Purse snacks save the day! 100 calorie packs travel well and curb the chocolate craving, I dont know how many points they are. I also love special k cracker chips for the salty cravings but i have to buy the little 90 calorie bags or ill eat the whole box
