Weight Watchers

Well I did it, I joined weight watchers on Saturday. My best friend, Melissa, and I both joined together, hoping we can both keep each other motivated to lose the weight we want to lose. The room was so crowded with people that some were standing during the meeting. I feel pretty good about it though. I haven’t felt deprived at all. After the meeting I went to the grocery store and bought stuff for dinners and snacks. But it felt great going to the store to buy healthy food rather than junk, although it still amazes me how much more it costs for healthy food. So Saturday night I made a shrimp scampi for dinner. My mother in law made this for us when we stayed with them over Christmas and Mark loved it. I didn’t have a recipe but found one similar in my weight watcher cookbook. I must say it tasted pretty good and it was soooo easy. The worst part was taking the tails off the shrimp. Then on Sunday we were celebrating my dad’s birthday and my birthday over at my parents house. They made tacos, so needless to say I probably went over my daily allowed 29 points. But I also get an extra 49 that I can use each week, so I used those on Sunday too. Not sure how many I actually used but I figured I will just try not to go over the rest of the week. We don’t eat out so it shouldn’t be hard to stay within my points. I think it will be pretty easy to stay within my points but I just think my body needs exercise to lose weight. I have tried so many different diets such as MRC, Body By Vi, old Weight Watchers, etc. and I lose about 6 pounds and stop. I just don’t get it. Mark and I don’t have a gym membership and we don’t have any exercise equipment, or a wii, so not exactly sure how I am going to exercise right now but I figured I can at least get my eating habits in order.
I need to find some more healthy recipes that the kids will like too, cause it seems like I am always making the same thing. So if you have any, leave me a comment. Thanks.
I haven’t decided what I am going to make for dinner tonight as I just took chicken and beef out to thaw about 2 hours ago, so whichever one is the most thawed, that’s what we will have for dinner
