Today is gonna be a long day and I am hoping I can stay on track.  We didn't get much sleep last night because of the storms so I have been awake for awhile.  I want to eat so bad.  I am trying very hard to stick to a schedule.  Eat breakfast between 7 & 8, lunch between 11:30 -12:30 and supper between 5 & 6.  Before I would eat whenever I wanted to and in turn ended up eating a LOT of food.  It is very important for me to stay on a schedule.  I wish we could get some fresh fruits right now but can't seem to find any at the store worth while.  Fresh fruits & vegetables are 0 points and you can eat as much as you want.  Makes for a great snack in between meals. 

I am realizing that you really have to measure and weigh everything to make sure you figure out your points correctly.  It feels so weird to measure a tablespoon of mayo before putting it on bread.  I am noticing that I used to use a lot more than a tablespoon before...WOW.  Being on weight watchers has really opened my eyes to how I used to eat.  I never realized how much food I would eat or the poor choices I would make.  I am really learning a lot about food, nutrition & food portions. 

I am currently making an excel spread sheet with items I like to eat and the nutritional info I need to figure out my points.  That way when I go grocery shopping I can make a meal plan ahead of time and only buy what will be ok to eat. 

Well it's time for lunch, yeah!!!  Time to go eat.  Bye
