Day 4

I made the mistake of getting on the scale this morning and I've lost .2lbs (POINT 2?) in 4 days? Is that right? I've been exercising and following the point system. I think my metabolism is increasing because I get hungrier a lot quicker and I actually look forward to my small snacks during the day. My brother said that if you wake up in the morning and you're not hungry for breakfast, that means your metabolism isn't very high. Well the past couple mornings I've been hungry for breakfast. What gives?

My Weight Watchers leader said in the meeting last week, "This isn't the "Biggest Loser" it's about healthy weight loss. I understand it's about "healthy weight loss" but what does that really mean? Does that mean losing 1 pound a week, 2 pounds a week?

My husband is doing Weight Watchers with me. He's not paying for meetings, but I bought the PointsPlus calculator and we figured out his points are 57 a day. He needs to get 2 dairy and 5 "Power Foods" a day. He is 14 points short after dinner, so now he's eating an apple, an orange, a piece of banana bread, and 5 saltine crackers to meet his 14 points. He's not even hungry, it feels weird to eat when you're not hungry. I just don't understand how you're supposed to eat all those points AND your 0 point Power Foods in 1 day. I almost think it would be easier to eat a greasy McDonalds Cheeseburger and Fries for lunch, then you wouldn't have to worry about all these extra points.

*HUGE plate of food.. That's a huge after dinner snack.*

Well, it's bed time now. Expecting snow over night and a couple of really cold days this week. Looks like I'll be working out indoors. I can't wait for my meeting on Wednesday. I have lots of questions.
