Week 1 - Day 7 and Weight Watchers

Well, folks. I did it. I broke down and joined Weight Watchers online. They were running a 3 month special - I figure that will be enough time for me to get used to the new points system and be able to keep up with it on my own. I'm actually really excited about it!

I will probably still count calories along with points... maybe forever lol. I'd like to say "just until I'm comfortable with the points-system", but I like knowing my calorie-count. Also with the way the new Points Plus works I need to know the fat/carb/protein/fiber content of everything I'm eating, and the calorie counter I use will be excellent for that especially when it comes to creating meals and stuff.

OKAY! SO! Technically since I chose my weigh-in day to be Saturday (tomorrow, eee!! I'm really excited to see how I've done this week!) WW is counting this passed week (Jan. 8th - tomorrow) as my first week - which is excellent since this is Week 1 for the 5 Week Challenge. I'll start posting points along with calories starting tomorrow, since it will be a big pain in the butt to go back through the whole week and reenter all my foods into the WW site.

Here are stats for tonight... which... aren't very good lol. I DEFINITELY took the term "splurge" day to heart...

Day 7:

• total calories: 2417 *cringe* I know.. it's really bad. That's all my regular/flex calories plus 158. It was the Papa Johns at 12am. A good friend went through a break-up earlier in the evening so I stopped by to talk and have some drinks... and we were both starving... and sometimes Papa Johns happens. I'm not proud. lol
• no workout
• 5 cigarettes
• 2am bedtime - would have been earlier but it seemed like a brilliant idea to play 30 mins of Bioshock 2 after I got home. 
• $40 spent from monthly fund - $60 left for the month
