I did what I promised! Today I went to Weight Watchers, found out that in the last 3 weeks I've lost 3 lbs. Not bad, 1 lb a week is actually about normal! So in total I've lost 7lbs. And I didn't keep track of my points or anything like that. Matter of fact I didn't even size out my portions. I have to say that this time it really is a life style change. I can't believe how many things I think about that I use to do and now it's completely different! For instance, I don't eat fast food, and if I do it HAS to be chik-fil-a, all the other places are just a set up for failure. I DO NOT allow bad food into the house. Now this past week was a MAJOR exception because of Easter and I did a basket for my sweet husband, but This morning first thing I took the left over candy to work to allow everyone else in the office to get fatter and keep that candy out of my house! I do indulge a bit more now than I did starting out, but I've found the most wonderful desert! It's frozen yogurt, 4oz for 3 points (not bad at all!) and it's so delicious. I had a little bit of the fudge shell on top for a bit more naughtyness and it's so delectable! It's the perfect "bad for me" tasting desert, where I feel like I'm really splurging but turns out, I'm not doing too bad! ALSO! As I promised I've been finishing a glass of water in the mornings before I start after my soda's. Yesterday I didn't, but all last week and Monday and Today I've had my glass of water before the diet soda I drink! And I'm actually starting to crave water, just as I thought I would once I forced myself to drink more of it! Monday before one of my classes I tried it then yesterday before one of my classes I tried it again, absolutely CRAVING a water, but the stinkin coke machines were out... BOTH coke machines! How is this healthy for the people of this country! There are 2 slots for regular coke, 1 for diet coke, 1 for sprite, 1 for a vitamin water, 1 for an energy drink, 1 for a stinkin orange fanta, and 1... ONLY 1 slot for something healthy related... water! How is this allowing the youth or even adults of this college to be healthy, most certainly if it's not refilled every day! I was so aggravated! I wanted my stinkin water, so I had a diet soda... I was thirsty and the vitamin water doesn't do anything for me. I don't find them satisfying. So when I finally got home I had me about 4 big 'ole glasses of water! Basically what I'm so poorly getting around to is that for me I have to make myself to some things, small, in order for me to be able to make a bigger difference that's turns into something not forced.

In Weight Watchers today they revieled this "Walk it Challenge." They gave us all of the tools to help us make it to walk a 5k at the beginning of June, including something for us to track when and how long we walk. It give us "suggested" times and days for us to walk for the next 6 weeks to help build us up to walk a 5k. I think I might do it. I haven't been able to get myself to workout and if I do this I'll have to, and it starts out small like when I started forcing myself to drink water, then it catches on where I "have" or "want" to do it. Not to mention I'm hoping to do another "Marathon" here shortly with some more of my family so I need to do some training... last time my shins were absolutely killing me! So the "plan" starts out on a Sunday, but I think I'll start to go ahead and start it just giving my shins a bit more time to get acclimated to what I'll be doing. Then I think I'll start the plan again, after I finish it, but change it to running. It's an idea. I need to walk before I can run... lol. I crack myself up!

Thanks for all of your support! I'll update tomorrow on how the walk tonight goes.
