two point eight

It's been one full week since I started eating less and eating healthier. I welcomed fruit back into my life with very open arms. I have remembered why I love it so much. Getting my portions under control has not been terribly difficult. Especially now that I actually have the determination.

The beauty of Weight Watchers is that I can still eat regular food. Like when my husband brought home fried chicken tenders last night. I ate them. I also ate green beans and mashed potatoes. And half a roll. I left out the gravy knowing I'd go over my points if I had smothered my plate with the delicious stuff.

So I went back to my second meeting tonight. Hopped on the scale. And it was a loss!

-2.8 pounds

It's very encouraging. And now that I've seen results, I really want to get active and get in shape. So this week, I will start moving more in some fashion. 

And by the way, I got a Hula Hoop. Yes I did. And it's a workout trying to work the thing. I am determined to become a Hula Hooping Pro!! And in the process, work down my mid section and become a healthier me. 

I am excited to have more energy and be healthier. And I'm sure my children will appreciate a more active Mom too.
