WW Update - Week 1
My first week went pretty well. I was down 2.4 lbs. I stayed within my points (WW assigns points to food based on calorie, fat and fibre content) and managed to get out for a walk every day. This week I need to concentrate on drinking more water and start running again - so far, not so great :) Though I am planning on running when Steve gets home from work tonight.
The major difference I notice is that I feel better - possibly due to the reduction of refined sugar in my diet, but I think it's actually all in my head. I have everything written down and I know that I am in control which makes me feel better about myself and I am less critical of my body. A very good thing. But it's a real bitch having to walk by Starbucks 5 million times each time I leave the house and not get a chai and a scone because that is half my points for the entire day, yikes! I used to have that for a snack - nearly every day - no wonder I wasn't losing the baby weight. Curse Vancouver for multiple Starbucks on every corner.
My plan is to stick to it consistently for 12 weeks and the re-evaluate where I am. Week 1 of 12 down and so far so good. Feel free to join me if you are so inclined.

Hey Leah! I've been reading your blog for awhile now (since Jeff told me that you were writing). I love the pics of little Liam what a cutie! So what's this Weight Watchers thing you're doing? Sounds like a good plan!
Hope you're doing great!

Hey Autumn! Glad you are enjoying the blog. You can read more about the plan at http://www.weightwatchers.ca. I go to meetings on Tuesdays at Christ Church Cathedral, but you can also do it online or at one of the many meetings around the city. If you have any questions on how it works or pros and cons, give me a call, or email me (Steve can give you my info - I don't post it here to reduce spam). I was on it before I got pregnant, so I'm very familiar with the program. And it is not a fad diet or overly restrictive, it just encourages a healthy lifestyle and better choices.
