First weigh-in!

Well, for those of you who didn't see my Facebook post, I had my first official weigh-in on Sunday, and lots 6 pounds!  Although I am a little worried, I know how much weight can fluctuate (especially mine!) so I'm not sure if I'll be able to lose that this week, or even any at all.  I'm not very good at staying away from the scale during the week, and according to that, I've gained 3 pounds back.. But, I will still consider that an overall 3 pound loss, and that feels pretty good!


I did have a few "treats" this week, I went out to Carlos O'Kelly's with some girls that I used to work with, and then yesterday Cory and I went to BWW since we both had the afternoon off.  I feel like I made pretty good decisions, going with the "lite" enchilada at Carlos (it really didn't taste that great) and a wrap at BWW instead of those delicious fried wings ;)  Then, I came home and looked up the nutrition information for both of them and calculated the points from that.  I'm thinking next time I will definitely skip the fries and the margarita, but it's ok to have a treat every once in awhile :)

I also want to get better at planning on what I'm going to have before I go out.  I know some foods are overwhelmed with calories, but then they don't turn out to be so many points.  If Weight Watchers doesn't have that restaurant listed, I can only hope the nutrition information I find online is accurate.. I really thought more places had their nutrition stuff posted online.

Tonight I am babysitting for one of my favorite little girls!  I am hoping that she will go to bed early and I can get a ton of crocheting done.. I am almost done with my huge slipper order!  Then, my mom and I are planning on starting an Etsy shop when the holidays are over, I am beyond excited to do that!

AND!  Cory's sister just got engaged!  I am so looking forward to helping her plan my (oops.. little slip there) her wedding, even if I can't plan my own quite yet ;)
Cory & I at Halloween, Clay Matthews and Frauline Allison :)

  1. Ow Ow! Congrats! So excited you are on your way. Helpful tip: Your weigh in day is what you weigh. Don't worry (easier said than done!) about gaining in between there. The important weight is on your weigh in day!

    Keep up the good decisions!

  2. Thanks for stopping by my blog! :-)

    I did WW for awhile after I had my 2nd baby---it's great!

    I crochet too! But haven't had time recently to sit down with it. If you have any questions about starting an Etsy shop just ask--it's a fun place to sell! :-)
