Changing your lifestyle isn't exactly easy, especially when you've failed at it a few times. Well this time I think the challenge will be different. How many times can one say that? haha The good thing about us is that we always keep trying! No matter what it is, food, gym, finances etc.. we always seem to pull ourselves together to be a terrific team. This time our big lifestyle change is food. We have joined Weight Watchers and are loving it! We have been to 2 meetings, our first weigh in, been tracking for about 10 days and everything is moving right along. Both of our initial goals are to reach 5% - we'll let you know when we get there! :)
This in turn is also helping us financially. We're buying groceries and eating at home! What a concept! haha Nicole has been very creative in the kitchen; cooking us wonderful low point meals! The variety is awesome! Planning is also a key step. Nicole did some meal planning for us for the next 10 days or so and we grocery shopped based off that. This will help the "what do you want for dinner?" "I dunno, what do you want?" conversations that all too often turn into going out to grab something!
We're really optimistic about this program as you can see. We're embracing this change and are looking forward to seeing the results. However, we still need all the strength and encouragement we can get from our friends and family!
