Ok, I figure one of the best ways that I can keep track of my weight loss is to blog about it. I started off at a whopping 175lbs (which is a lot for my little 5ft 1 frame) and decided what the hell--I'll try weight watchers. I manged to lose 3 lbs, bringing me down to 172. So of course, my first reaction is...meh, maybe this isn't for me. There's a lot of food tracking and I'm the type of person that the more I watch what I eat calorie wise, the less likely I am to eat as a whole (and for those who know me...I like my food). Between that and tracking stuff online every single day was really starting to annoy me.
So what to do....what the hell..I'll just watch what I eat, get that down and then incorporate a little bit of exercise here and there. The watching part I did good at, the working out part, not so much. Typically, if I have an extra 20-30mins for a workout, then its usually spent doing homework.
Again, I'm stuck with this "what to do?" mentality. I was shopping yesterday with my student refund (only a little of it, I gotta treat myself every once in awhile!) and picked up some slim-fast and the Wii Active 2 game. Slim-fast came out with a 3-2-1 plan (3 snacks, 2 shakes, 1 meal)...wow..common sense at this finest. The shakes are simply meal replacements, the snacks are the 3 snacks you should eat every day and the meal can be up to 500 calories (which depending on how you fill those 500 calories can be an awful lot of food). Granted, the Wii Active 2 is exactly the same as the Wii Active where you can simply jiggle the remote around, but then it would have been a waste of money to buy it, huh? They've got a 3 week "program" ranging from easy-->hard as well as a 9 week program with the same degree of difficulty.
I must be doing something right because I'm down to 169lbs :o)
