Week 3 Weigh-in for Sister 2

Week 3 of eating healthy balanced meals and exercising and the results are continuing to be going in the right direction. I lost another 2 pounds. I'm now down 9 pounds total! YEAH! Very excited to enter week 4 knowing that this is working, however since I'm done more weight, I've also gone down another point in my daily food allowance on Weight Watchers. That means I have to continue to swap out foods that I'm eating and seek out even more healthier lower point options. Sister1 insists I'll enjoy plain Greek yogurt with a packet of Truvia and I'd be down a point in my yogurt. Other tips would be to eat more fruit and vegetables which I am struggling to get 6-8 servings in each day. Also, having a hard time getting in more water. I did buy skim plus milk just for me to knock my milk intake points down from 1% milk. Other changes this week have been switching to the Greek yogurt (vanilla) and yesterday as a personal goal I didn't have any diet soda. Changes are happening and in week 4 I'm going to try do the following:

1. Eat 6 servings of fruits and vegetables daily
2. Drink 6 servings of water daily

I'm betting just these two changes will help curb any unnecessary hunger and keep me from wanting to eat my digits.

Now, let's talk about feelings. How do I feel after losing 9 pounds? Emotionally pretty fantastic. For the first time in a LONG time do I feel mentally in the right place to want to eat right and get healthy. I'm not calling this a diet, because DIET is an awful word when you refer to it as 'dieting', whether it's a buy their food diet, no carbs, caveman, meat and cheese only, south beach, drink some funky liquid, colon cleanse, stand on your head or clicking on one of those pop-up web ads to find the hidden secret to belly fat diet. It's all terrible. This is about eating healthy, controlling portions and exercising.

That leads me to how do I feel physically? I definitely feel the changes to my stomach and face. Also, in my clothes slightly, energy level is up and mobility is a bit better.

Looking forward also to another week of blogging. 

Highlights of topics this week will be:


1. "Skinny chicks don't get it"
2. "Biggest Loser"
3. "Fat celebrities you really want to see succeed in their weight loss struggles"
