Weight Watchers Day 2 & 3

Yesterday I went above my 23 points, but I made up for it today.
2/24/09
Breakfast: ww english muffin w/ cream cheese and cottage cheese - 3 pts
Snacks: ww pumpkin muffin, 2 servings of cottage cheese - 5 pts
Lunch: ww smart ones fettucini alfredo w/ broccoli - 6 pts
Dinner: ww philly cheese steaks - 8 pts
Drink: bloody mary - 4 pts
Total: 28

Today I did much better because I knew I had to make up the 5 pts from yesterday.
2/25/09
Breakfast: ww english muffin w/ cream cheese and cottage cheese - 3pts
Snacks: ww pumpkin muffin, caramel rice cakes - 4 pts
Lunch: fresco style steak burrito (taco bell) - 6pts
Dinner: cottage cheese - 1pt
Drink: Champagne - 2 pts
Total: 16pts

In the last 3 days I was allowed to eat a total of 69 pts and I ended up eating 61 pts. The great thing with weight watchers is you don't have to eat exactly your pts every day, you can actually eat less one day and save them up for the next day if you know you are going out to eat or you just feel like splurging a little. So I am only a couple days into it, but I am doing good. I'll post again after my weigh in.

Day 1 of my weight watchers journey

2/23/09
Today started my journey of using weight watchers to lose 35 lbs. I have been off and on diets lately, but today is the day that I commit to doing this 100%. I will not be going to weight watchers meetings, but I will be weighing myself every Wednesday morning. I have a points calculator and a great website that I use that gives all of the points values of foods at restaurants and fast food places. My goal is to lose 1-3 lbs a week. I have calculated my points and I should be eating 23 points a day. I also get the 35 extra points to use anytime I want. I probably will try and eat 18-20 points a day, and save up my unused points for the weekend. Weekends are definitely my downfall so I need to save as many points as I can for them. I will be documenting what I eat everyday and the point value of the foods.

Today:
Breakfast 7:15AM – weight watchers English muffin – 1pt
weight watchers cream cheese – 1 pt
low fat cottage cheese – 1 pt
Snack 10:30AM – pumpkin muffin – 3 pts (This is a weight watchers recipes that I made Sunday night)
Snack 12:30PM – low fat cottage cheese – 1 pt
Lunch 2:15PM – ww smart ones macaroni and cheese-frozen dinner – 6pts
Snack 4:00PM – popcorn (100 calories pack) – 1 pt
Dinner 6:00PM - taco chicken soup - 4 pts
Workout – 30 minutes of weight training – minus 1 pt
Total points = 17

Today was a good first day. It is always hard to change your diet, but it feels good to commit to something. I will be back with an update soon. If anyone has any tips, recipes, or comments, please feel free to post a comment or if any of the recipes that I eat sound good, feel free to ask me to post them.
