It’s six pm on the first day of doing weightwatchers and I feel really good. Especially compared to how rough I felt when I woke up after a binge-worthy day yesterday. I just decided to bite the bullet and go for it with ww-online. I am so sick of this good day-bad day mentality I have going on and I want to break the cycle and start losing again. Betz has been doing really well on it after struggling and I have convinced myself it is just what I need too.

I did wwonline last year and lost 16lbs so I am quite excited about what I will achieve with this. Logging into my account on there, I see I was 18 and a half stones when I was last doing it. Thats over a three stone difference. I am so proud of myself. But I started todays weight of 15.3 as a new start so I have no history. I want to see how much I can lose from here on in. Alarmingly it told me I was still entitled to 27 points after I inputted my new weight and I knew that couldn’t be right so I did the quiz to find a new rate. I didn’t like the quiz much because it was like ‘how much activity do you do in your job? mostly sitting, mostly standing or being active?’ Now I work from home so I am sat at the computer a lot so I put ‘mostly sitting’ but I also workout 3x a week at the gym, plus I do a considerable amount of walking every day, not to mention all the housework as a single parent! I just decided to keep it to ’sits mostly’ and with that I am allowed 24 points. If I need to change it I will but I wanted to see how I go with the minimal points for my weight.

Today I have been really good. I didn’t have breakfast as I woke up at 10.30 and was still full from last night. I had lunch, which was an omelette (made with one egg and spray oil and mushrooms) and 1 piece of toast with marg (3 points). I then had some bits and pieces this afternoon  (a banana, a yogurt, snacky veggies, half a ham sandwich, cup of tea) and that was 4 points. Then for dinner I had a salmon fishcake, a sweet potato and lots of boiled fresh veg coming to 5 points. So I have had 12 points today and have 12 left to eat. I doubt very much I will get through them all tonight and I will try and bank some of those, if it lets me.

Inside I am feeling really good. I feel nice and full at the moment too, which is nice. The only thing I will say is that I wish I could have had a workout today. I fully intended to and got ready to go but my sciatica was playing up and I knew it would be folly to workout. I am quite sad that the sciatica has shown its ugly head again. When I had those 2 weeks off the gym it seemed to go away completely and I didnt feel a thing until yesterday (three weeks later). I guess I will just work around it as much as I can.

Over all, considering everything, I do think today is a good day.
