It’s been over a week since embarking on my journey back to health and I feel pretty great! Food choices are getting much easier and my motivation hasn’t tapered off yet. I’m not snacking nearly as much and if I have to give in to a craving I make sure I choose something that is worth the points. I’m eating three meals a day which is a bit different for me. I remember eating breakfast every morning as a kid but once I reached high school I stopped. Until I started back on Weight Watchers I was only eating breakfast on the weekends. I really enjoy fruit in the morning. To me something fresh, cold and sweet is just the right fix for some energy.

Lunches choices are also pretty simple for me. I like my veggie wrap, chef or chicken salad, or veggie burger. I also mix in some Lean Cuisine meals or Weight Watchers Smart Ones meals every other day to change it up a bit. I’m trying to cut back on the frozen, processed meals and not rely on them so much as a source of “nutrition.” I don’t need the extra sodium and want to fit in more veggies and fresh foods for lunch.

Dinner can be somewhat of a challenge at times. Hubby is an Atkins man. Rarely do we eat the same thing. He will have his meat and cheese for dinner but he goes out of his way to prepare a Weight Watchers friendly meal for me. He’s an awesome dude!

So after my first week back on the program I feel pretty darn good. My energy is up and so are my spirits. I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow to check out some health concerns I have. If she gives the A-OK I will start my workout program next week. Nothing but positive energy and good times ahead!
