Back To School.... Weight Watchers..

Well School is back in session, Rieli and Autumn have been going everyday since Wednesday, and Makenzie will start Monday for her first day of Kindergarten, then she will go Friday and then full time starting on 23rd. I don't know exactly how I feel about all of them being gone, but its a new chapter I am ready for. I have been at home with one child at least for 10 plus years and am ready to take part in my "New Me" campaign. I have pretty much been fat my whole life, so I am excited to be going on not just a weight loss journey but a Journey to make me feel better. I started on the first of August, I have several goals that I would like to achieve, but I am going at it strategically. I started with doing weight watchers (WW), I meet with a friend of mine who lost 106 pounds on WW, She has inspired me. So she sat down with me and went over a number of things to get me on the right track. She gave me a Weekly chart ,to chart what I eat how many steps I walked and a set date to weigh in. As scary as this is to announce, When I started this I weighed 252 pounds, I am currently weighing in today at 246. It has been 12 days. So hopefully I am on the right track. I purchased a WW points plus calculator. It does the majority of my Grocery shopping. Without it I would be screwed. I actually feel full 90% of the time. I only drink water, thats it. I decided to do 29 points, I feel like on 39 points it was way too much. I am also walking every night and sometimes in the morning if its not to hot, if it is Comcast has a fitness On Demand that I use for excercise, and Just Dance is a Good way to get motivated. I try to get 10,000 steps a day or more. I am trying so hard, but I always let myself down, so I am trying to go by this rationally. My 1st Goal is to lose 40 pounds by Jan,1st. So I need to lose 2 pounds a week for the next 20 weeks, I started with 22 weeks. So My weekly goals are to lose 2 pounds. One of my problems is I weigh myself everyday instead of on Saturdays. Or Sunday Mornings, I can't seem to understand that if I work out on Tuesday it might not show up til Friday. I am an impatient dieter lol.. But I keep telling myself this is a lifestyle change not a Diet. I am treating myself like I am Diabetic. My goal is to lose from 75 to 100 poounds. Every 20 pounds I lose I am going to get a new outfit, and when I reach my overall goal I am taking a huge vacation to Las Vegas or on a Cruise... And I am going on a shopping spree, for the first time in my life that the department doesn't start with PLUS..
