Dinner then restaurant with friends

Last night, 1/10 i made a Greek hamburger from a weight watchers recipe. It was only 8 points and it was so good i had 2. I added some spicy mustard to one and some salsa in the other. Of course this was made with lean ground beef cutting the points down by half from regular burgers.
After dinner my friends wanted to go since it was the last night a friend would be in town. More FOOD!! The temptation was horrible just sitting next to my friends while they eat loaded fries and chicken fingers. I would say its a great idea to eat something healthy before going out with friends always. I really was not hungry, so it was just the mental battle of me wanting to be a fatty.

Today my mother joined weight watchers also. I went grocery shopping shopping with her to help her buy healthy food and explore different options.
I'm still a bit sore from riding yesterday so I'm taking the day off and hopefully will feel better tomorrow to ride
Also, tonight i have some family in town from out of the country so we are going out to eat ~_~. This morning i had a left over burger for breakfast. Lunch was light, banana, kiwi, orange and cantaloupe. I am all set for tonight with extra points for dinner so i wont have to worry about being tempted. I'm not going to binge, just eat healthy but add some extra points for unknown sauces and who knows what else :) 

Starting Weight Watchers 1/6/12

On Jan 6 i decided to start weight watchers with my husband. My goal is not only to lose weight but to be physically fit. So far this program seems like a great way to learn how to control my poor eating habits. Also there are many healthy recipes that look easy to make. As of today i am 5 days into the program and feel great.

My first week on the path to my new healthy life and i am exited. It's difficult to start exercising after eating unhealthy and not working out for so long. So far I have been able to motivate myself to work out 3 days already. I went to a spinning class with some friends on Friday and it was difficult to finish the whole hour. Still exhausted and sore two days later but i feel great like next time it wont be as hard, i guess ill find out :). On Monday i completed a four mile walk with my mother and aunt. It helps having someone to help motivate you. My mom called me twice and sent text messages until I responded. I was not planning on joining them, i would rather stay sleeping, but am glad i did. My legs hurt a bit from the walking but its refreshing. Today, Tuesday, i wasn't too sore and went for a 30minute walk, 2miles. Still feeling energized i borrowed my Dad's road bike and road for 45minutes, 11 miles.

As for the eating, I have been eating well. I prepared a beef stir fry recipe from weight watchers and it was delicious. The best part is the recipe is simple that you can change the meats and/or vegetables and make another different tasting stir fry. Being the fatty that i am, i was craving a big fat juicy steak. Surprisingly  i was able to eat a steak from Long Horn restaurant with vegetables and parmesan crust. I have to add that the restaurant also provided us with a nutrition pamphlet of all their dishes. I have lost 7 pounds so far, you really can eat what you want and lose weight. :
