My accountability has been less than stellar in reaching my goal weight through the reflection of my blog. I just really have a hard time sticking to a diet when my hubby isn't in diet mode as well. I shouldn't blame it on him, because my love for chips is the real problem. Yesterday I was telling him I was thinking about trying weight watchers online. He said, "Another diet? You're always trying a different diet. Blood Type diet, gluten free...". Yes, and they do work when I stick to them, but being in a house hold that is not the same blood type as me (vegetarian) and not liking gluten free products really puts a hamper on consistently sticking to my plans. So, here I am, day one starting Weight Watchers. I'm hoping I can do this. I'm allowed 29 points a day to reach my goal weight of 105, starting at 117. I thought, wow, 29 points is quite a bit, until I plugged in my food for the first half of the day. Between my breakfast of rolled oats and dried blueberries, snack of 6 triscuits with a slice of cheese and lunch of gluten free angel hair pasta with lean ground turkey sauce, I only have 12 points left for the day. Now I see why I haven't lost any weight. I'm eating healthy, but I need to cut back on my portions, because I try to eat 5 times a day. It looks like I'll be subsituting my crackers and cheese for another piece of fruit or some sort of vegetable.
Wish me luck! Hopefully with the running and new diet plan, I can finally get to my goal, without totally buying opposite foods of what my family eats. However, that doesn't mean I'm giving up my tofu! The chips really do need to go, which also includes goldfish crackers (sad face).
