since receiving my "At Home" kit i think i've read each and every page 10 times over. I was so excited to start and now that i have, im enjoying it. It is a little easier than i first thought but hey, it is only week 1, i have a long way to go yet. ive settled on doing the points program for the first 12 weeks.. after that i think i may switch over to CORE.. mix it up a little.
joining weight watchers has given me a few things. the first, is hope. which i havent had for a really long time. even with my own efforts of trying to lose weight i was starting to think that maybe i was just meant to be a big girl. but i have read and seen the results that this program can give you if you follow it properly and i really am excited. i dont have to be a big girl at all.. i just need to learn how to manage my food, how to recognise what foods will benefit me and of course.. what exercises work best for my body.. and i am starting to do those things. in 3 days.. i am a lot happier than i was.
which is partly due to the second thing. friends. being over weight for so long, id forgotten what it was like to meet new friends and not have to think "they must think i am so fat". because honestly, thats exactly what runs through my head everytime i meet someone new. but not these ladies. i have met some of the warmest, most caring and funny group of women who really do look out for you and help you anyway that they can. doing this program is going to be that much easier to work through, because i have some truelly wonderful women cheering me on. You all know who you are.. and i only have the biggest thanks for you. you really have inspired me to do well.
my weekend was spent studying my new WW books and the program, reading through the points guide (looking up all those chocolates! *gulp*) and getting back into my exercise routine.
it also gave me some time to re design my room in here.. its so boring. we only rent so there is little i can do to the walls.. but i painted some cavas's and hung them up (pic below) and im going to make a type of curtain for my book shelf so that it is like a little hideaway.. i need to make the room more like me. after all, i spend a lot of my time in here lol sad to say. i know.
im going to be revamping the Recipe Blog. im not happy with it, and i have a tonne of recipes i need to add up so i will get those done too.
my goal for week 1: avoid easter eggs.
why oh why do i always start my diets so close to easter...

PS Once off explanation for nannabee: It is the name I use on another blog and inadvertently forgot to change it somewhere along the line ...don't know how to now or even if I can... so am left with it coming up in every comments window...just to confuse one and all. LOL
