Well thank god for that – a day actually on track.
Sometimes, when things aren’t going quite as well as you’d like, just stepping back and focusing on what’s right in front of you helps. I know I’ve said that before, but it’s still true. When something’s overwhelming, just focus on the little things. So for me, just focusing on making this one day right really helps.
Tomorrow, I’ll focus on just getting tomorrow right.
Finished the day off with a nice chunk of rump steak, with some roasted acorn squash, and veg. Which brings me to an interesting point. I understood that the new points system was based on how long it took to digest something. So, an item like a biscuit that is all carbs and sugars – essentially empty calories that the body processes very quickly, and then stores as fat, has quite a high points value. But on that principle, steak, which is all lean protein, with no carbs or fat to speak of (I trim the fat off mine), should be low points, as it’s tough for the body to digest, but steak tonight was 9 points! That ain’t low point!
Oh well – I’m sure Weightwatchers know what they’re doing.
Good eating today was accompanied by a good day at work, and some list-writing for the weekend’s plans. The shopping list is coming along nicely so far. And the dress for the weekend is picked out, as I tried on one I bought a while ago, but was a bit tight across the bust and back, and it fits pretty much perfectly now. Yay!
Organised chaos will be reigning here for the next couple of days :o)

I think the difficulty is trying to completely forget everything you once knew about WW.
So 9 points for a steak if you were on 18 points a day would be a lot, but on 29 points a day, its not so bad... if that makes sense.
I am still finding my feet, but I am really quite enjoying the new plan. I just hope I can maintain that enthusiasm.
You'll get there :) x
