pointsPLUS

-1 pound!  yay!

We didn't eat out at all this week, and I found some lean cuisines on sale at Safeway to make my lunch choices at work better.  Been eating a lot of rice.  Haha, its cheap here.  :)

I've also been drinking a lot of green tea, though I have no idea if that actually is a successful contributing factor.  Doc Woods, my WSU doctor, recommended that I take green tea extract pills, because even though doctors aren't exactly sure what it is about them, they all agree that they contribute to healthy weight loss.  So I can only assume that drinking the stuff does the same, right?  :)

I'm setting a mini-goal for myself this week to walk somewhere everyday.  It won't necessarily have to be a big epic walk, but I'm going to walk at least 15 minutes each day.  I'll get Justin to think of a prize if I succeed, and start tomorrow!  :)  Goals are so much easier to attain if there's something awesome at the end.  Maybe poke for dinner at the end of the week?  Haha.

I've been considering walking to work, but it sucks to work at 5 AM and walk.  Its 3.2 miles away. If I ever have a daytime shift, I think I'll give it a try.  :)

A teacher friend of mine here did loan me all of her pointsPLUS (the new WeightWatchers program) materials to read through.  I found it very interesting, and WAY more "well-rounded" than the previous plans have been.  I'm considering looking into the online tools portion of the program--though, that mostly depends on how much it costs!  But it would be nice to finally become a lifetime member of Weight Watchers, and to learn the new program.  Though a small part of me is very hesitant to learn the new program.  But that's mostly a selfish part in that I may have to change certain eating habits...haha.
