weight watchers day 1..

the first time i started ww was back in january 2011, i'm down a total of 23.2 lbs since then. so at least i'm down, but whatever. i definitely need to do better. i've done ridiculous things in the past, like atkins which does great for a little while until you start to realize how messed up it is that you're drooling over a banana as you stuff your face with bacon.

i know it's about moderation, but this is the first plan that has helped me keep that in track. and if i freak out and want a donut one day, it helps me see that i need to cut those calories from somewhere else. and the tracker on my phone helps me realize that if i walk by something and just take a small bite, those bites add up.

so i got up, weighed myself (ew), and updated the info on the site. apparently i get an extra 14 points for breastfeeding? seems a bit excessive, i'll be trying to not use that many because when i nursed last time i didn't lose crazy weight like people claim. i've read it takes an extra 600 calories? and it only took an extra 300 to grow that little 8 lb 3 oz nugget? not buying that.

the little barcode scanner app for your phone is kinda fun. there's a lot of things in my pantry that i will be avoiding. today i had an omelet, some grapes, and an english muffin. nothing terrible, just need to not stare too hard at the delicious ginger bread house that olivia made yesterday that's sitting on my counter. sweets are the bane of my existence.

last time i was all good and made a chart to motivate us to compete with each other on how much we lost each week. of course nothing drastic is good for the milk supply, and competing with a guy- especially charlie- is not exactly fair, but hey it's a good thing to look at every time you go to open the fridge.
