Goals....

Yes. I suck at making goals, and then sticking to them. Obviously I got bored with the 365 day Photo Project thing after what... 3 days? But that is because I am focusing on a different MORE IMPORTANT goal, and that is losing weight!

This is the first time I've probably ever been really serious about it. I joined the Y when I was in college and I did lose weight then, but classes got busier and finally I just stopped going. I tried other diets before too, like Alli for about a week, and then I read an article about how one woman pooped her pants while taking Alli so I quickly stopped taking it. I tried just eating healthy but that is very difficult for me. I love to cook, and that hasn't been the best for Dan and I. The food is wonderful sure, but cooking a huge meal for 2 people (although I love doing it) is probably not the best thing in the world for us.

So I finally joined Weight Watchers! I saw Jessica Simpson on the advertisement and I was like... hey, I met her once. Seriously. That's me on the left.

Holy dork fest. Except for Jessica Simpson, and Jasmine (my cousin) on the right. 

I thought it would be difficult dieting again, but, and I swear I'm going to sound like a commercial here, Weight Watchers is SO easy!! For example, I ate fast food everyday for lunch last week, and I still lost 2 pounds in one week. I am just teaching myself what is okay to eat, and what isn't. I ate at places like McDonalds, Subway, Culver's, Taco Bell, Arby's and Noodles & Company, and I have new favorite point-friendly foods at each one. 

I also have gotten much better at cooking healthy food, and measuring what I put into food. A couple of examples of meals I have made at home since I started that I got from Weight Watchers...

An amazing baked macaroni & cheese with broccoli, one serving is only 7 points, and one serving is actually more than you would think!

Eggo whole grain waffles with maple syrup, or if I'm in a hurry, Eggo waffles with "no sugar (or artificial sweetener) added" Smucker's Strawberry preserves.

Progresso Vegetable Classics Lentil Soup over white rice.... ohh it's amazing.

Corn Flake crumb breaded pork chops.

Panko breaded onion rings

Seriously... they were all so delicious. I don't want to become one of those people who talk about their diets all the damn time, so I'm only doing this one post about it, but really. If you need to lose some lbs, Weight Watchers is the way to go. 

Thank you Jessica Simpson.
