Well today was my first official day on Weight Watchers and it was a success! I bought a new scale today at Target for $6.00. It is one of those old-school scales that doesn't use batteries. Up until today, I have been guessing what my "starting weight" was. Unfortunately, I was about 10 pounds off...and of course it was in the wrong direction. So, after adjusting my "starting weight" I actually got an additional daily alloted point (yay for me!), giving me 23 points to use each day, and 35 extra points to use each week on a splurge. My biggest struggle with the Weight Watchers plan so far has been the planning of meals. It is hard for me to try and decide how to use the points each day in a way that isn't going to make me hate the plan. I am trying to find a balance between taste and time spent cooking, which has been a challenge. I am not usually a breakfast person and I don't like to spend very much time cooking either breakfast or lunch. I am used to waiting around until noonish and then swinging through a McDonald's drive-thru for lunch. Fortunately though, I have found some easy recipes that don't take too much work on the Weight Watcher's website and some other great ideas from fellow Weight Watcher's bloggers. Here is the recap of my day's food:
Breakfast - 1/2 Whole Wheat Bagel topped with 2 tbs of Marshmallow Fluff, Dash of Ground Cinnamon and Sliced Banana - 2.5 Points
Lunch - Whole Wheat Bow Tie Pasta with Red & Yellow Peppers, Tomatoes and Feta Cheese- 11 Points (and I really think that this is lower than this but I had trouble figuring out the points on this recipe)
Snack - Jello Strawberry Gelatin with Cool Whip Free Topping - 0 Points
Dinner - Chopped Greek Salad - 3 Points
Snack - Red Mango Tangomonium Frozen Yogurt with Chopped Strawberries - 5 Points
