Weigh In Week Two: Eating out and Grocery Shopping Revelations!

Good Afternoon Everyone! I wanted to let you know how week two went with Weight Watchers, I lost .2 pounds, that is a decimal by the way. Yeah, it isn't much, but it is LOSS and that is what matters here!

I think in order to make my loss more substantial in weeks to come my activity needs to me higher and more intense. So that is my goal. There were a few things that had me hung up for a bit this week and few things that were really good.

For one, my hubby went grocery shopping with me and I was asking the deli for label info, and reading lots of labels and comparing things, and loading up on healthy options and he had some questions. Like why I was buying black beans and re-fried beans? I pulled out my little Pocket Guide from WW and showed him what was considered a power food and explained a little bit more about the WW world and he smiled and said he thought it was great I was taking so much time to pick healthy options in the store! That is a wonderful feeling folks!

Something that hung me up for a few hours was trying to plan my first meal eating out while on WW. Some good friends wanted to eat lunch with us and we decided on Red Lobster, a mutual favorite of everyone. I looked over the entire menu 3 times to try and figure out my best options. I hate fish and seafood but they always have those amazing biscuits and some really good chicken. Here's the problem: those biscuits are very very bad for anyone on a weight loss plan. The online menus also said that grilled chicken was only available for dinner. So, when we got there I asked about the chicken and I could get it grilled with a yummy maple glaze for lunch!! So I got Grilled Maple Glazed Chicken (FANTASTIC!) and a baked potato and salad with fat free dressing. AND I DIDN'T TOUCH the Cheddar Bay Biscuits!

So some small triumphs this week, but some triumphs that make for a great growth experience during this weight loss journey! Keep checking back and become a follower so you can see how I am doing! Your keeping me accountable is a huge part of my success!
