Today was my last Weight Watchers at Work meeting, i am really surprised at how fast the time went. Over the past weeks I have learned a lot about my eating habits and things that I need, nay WANT to change. I now eat more fruits and vegetables then ever before, not just quantity but variety as well. If nothing else this program opened my eyes and tastes to many new foods that I had not tried in the past, or tried and didn’t like but now do.
I mentioned last week that i would not be signing up for the next session and that still holds true. While they did lower the price because they are going to run a short special session (8 weeks for $88) I still simply do not have the extra money. I am going to take these next 8 weeks and see how I do on my own. Hopefully i can keep my motivation up to keep eating as best I can and hopefully increase the amount of exercise I get. Even if it is just getting out and going for a mile walk.
I think some of my motivation will need to be remembering how well I have done over these last weeks. According to the scale a few minutes ago I am down an additional 1.6 pounds this week bringing my total weight loss for the 15 week program to 12.2 pounds and my final weigh in weight to 282.8 pounds. I am very happy with this result and proud of what I have acomplished, while I know I still have a long way to go these results are encouraging. I really need to continue focusing on eating right and trying to get more exercise as i am still lacking in that area.
Next week I will begin weighing myself at home on my own scale. I know the numbers will be greatly different due to a number of factors. One reason is that they say each scale is true to itself. Another will be the environment and time. I am hoping to weigh myself wednesday mornings before getting dressed for work. They say you weigh the least in the morning. 🙂
