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. :
