EMME and WWW: Week One

{ae filkins}



Okay, so one week of Weight Watchers is over! I was VERY strict Monday-Saturday until dinner on Saturday night. We impulsively decided to take the kids out to Red Robin after a day at the Cranberry Festival. So of course, I had to get a bleu cheeseburger and fries (and ranch dressing to dip them in).
Then on Sunday, I was good again until dinner. This time it was a planned deviation from the diet because it was Phil's birthday and we went to The Melting Pot. A great fondue restaurant, where we had a romantic 4 course meal. It was lovely, but seriously expensive!!
Anyway, it's a new week, and I am back on track. I'm not going to be one of those people that never cheats on a diet. Life is supposed to be fun, and as long as I'm being good about 90% of the time, and exercising everyday, I'll probably continue to have 2 meals a week where I don't count my points.
So now for the results: I lost 3.2 pounds!!
Yeah!! Only 14 more pounds to go until I'm back to my pre-children weight :)
***UPDATE***

  2. Woot-woot! You go Mama!! That's great results. Only 14 more to go, that's not bad either.
    But really, you look quite fit/thin, are you sure you aren't already pre-baby weight?? :) Way to go and keep up the good work!

  4. Yeah! I find that even if I cheat one day a week a little bit I still will lose weight with weight watchers if I'm super strict the other 6 days! Great job...even with your cheats!

  6. Way to go! 3 pounds in a week is wonderful!!! And I agree, you cannot stick to a strict diet all the time. What fun would that be?

  11. Ha! Had to come here and comment re: your comment on my blog ;) No, hubby rarely, if ever, joins in on our fun outtings. Oh how we've begged for him to come along. He actually has a very flexible and friendly schedule, but, while I love him dearly, he'd rather leave that "stuff" up to me. I know he'd have fun if he made time for it, but he is a little 'old school' in the parenting department. He definitely believes all parenting responsibilities {besides financial responsibilities} belong to me because I stay at home. It really used to bother me, but now I've grown accustomed to it :)

    *Sorry for the hijack!

  13. Congrats!! You are brave to be dieting. May God give you strength and strong will to keep going with your diet until where you want to be. :)

    P.S. Have you seen this? It's good for meditation.
