So I was pretty down on Friday after my weigh in, BUT I sneaked a peek at the scale this morning and that 1.4 gain is already gone. I'm going to continue to keep working hard this week (despite this huge blizzard we are supposed to get) and hopefully it will pay off at the scale this week!

29 PointsPlus (I am allowed 34 daily)

After work I went to the gym..I walked on the treadmil for 30 minutes and then headed to my Monday Night Zumba class. It was a great workout!

This experiment has already got me thinking of planning my next meals and how I can incorporate more fruits, vegetables, fiber and PowerFoods into my daily diet which is something I never really did before. I just kind of grabbed whatever and off I went. It is a good feeling.

Sara blogged about mini goals and it got me thinking about maybe I should set some smaller goals for myself instead of focusing on the ultimate goal.

Mini Goals:

1. Drink 100oz water a day

2. Workout Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday

3. Lose 2 pounds at WW this week

4. Do arm weights on Wednesday

See you tomorrow!

Accountability Experiment Day1

Alright, I have not been losing weight. I actually have not lost much since running my first 5k. I am happy that I maintained throughout the holidays, but I'm ready to shed these last 40 pounds to get to my goal weight.
So, I came up with an idea called..Accountability Experiment. I am going to be taking pictures of everything I eat and blogging the Weight Watchers PointsPlus everyday until Valentine's Day. I need to be holding myself to accountable, because I feel like I have the exercise part down, but I need to really work on the nutritional part. I don't always track and most of the time I "guess" how many PointsPlus it is. This should help me get back on top of my eating habits. I need to lose the rest of this weight!
So, here was today:

L-R top-bottom: (I get 34 PointsPlus a day)
1. Subway 6'' Turkey on wheat, no cheese, lettuce, tomato, green pepper, cucumber, lite ranch..7P+, baked lays 3P+, Diet Dr.Pepper 0
2. Fiber Plus granola 3P+
3. Turkey Black Bean Chili 1cup 6P+, 1 slice leftover pepperoni pizza 8P+, water 0
4. 8oz Pineapple juice..3P+
= 30P+

Feel free to play along or ask any questions! The blog may be pretty boring these next few weeks with just pictures of my food, but I will throw in some recipes here and there and some progress pics :) Have a great week!
