New Challenge

Okay, so mom and I signed up for Weight Watchers last night and attended our first meeting. I'm only looking to lose about 10 pounds or so, but I think it's going to be harder than I thought. As you all know, I'm addicted to chips & salsa. Thankfully, salsa's not a problem -- I could drink the stuff and be okay. However, chips are another story. As you may or may not know, WW is based on a points system. I have to eat 23 points/day. No more, no less. That's the number based on my age, height, weight, etc. 12 tortilla chips = 3 points! Aaahhhhh! When I eat chips & salsa, I can eat half a bag of chips! And not a little bag... one of those family size bags! I think I'm in for a challenge here, what do you think????

The good side to all of this is not only that I'll be healthier and thinner, but I'm going to start cooking more. (I say "more" like I cooked in the first place...) So, I printed out loads of WW recipes... now Toby will have to suffer too! j/k The food is the same as we always eat... it's just healthier/smaller portions. So if I make something with 4 servings, I'll just eat one and he can have the rest! hahahah

Tonight I'm making chicken breast wtih sauteed tomatoes and green beens. yummy! Tomorrow I'm going to tackle "chicken dinner in a crock-pot." We got a crock pot for our wedding, but I've never used it! So I'm learning something new! I'm excited. I just hope it tastes okay! And I hope Toby "lets" me use "his" kitchen! :)
