End of Chapter 1

As the "Biggest Loser" comes to an end, I can say that although I thoroughly enjoyed it, I didn't give it my all.  As most of the time, I made excuses.  I think I missed 4 classes and only 2 of them I truly couldn't go.  The official final weigh in is tomorrow night. I would like to say I lost at least 10lbs out of this, but I will find out for sure, tomorrow.

As one door closes, as always, another opens.  I have decided to "join" Weight Watchers.  I use the term "join" loosely as I am only following the points system on-line.  www.exercise4life.com has pretty much everything you need.  There is a points calculator, calculator to let you know how many points you can have per day and restaurant pages (although American).

I have been going through my house the last few days and making notes of how many points each item is. So far I have only been surprised that a whole package of Mr Noodles is 10 points.  And if you follow the %daily serving, it's 76% of your daily sodium intake!

One of the trainers of the "Biggest Loser" has made a commitment to have an extended month of classes that are similar to the classes we had for the contest. That starts Thursday and I signed up to take this class.  

It's still the 2 nights a week, but I am swearing to myself that I will put more effort into this.  As of now, I still have 56lbs to go for my first long term goal!  And I wanted to hit that by my birthday in august, but at this rate, I don't think it's going to happen.  But it will!  

I had a friend post a little visual she uses for her weight loss adventure. It's 2 jars with marbles in them.  One is the amount of pounds she wants to lose, and the other is the amount she lost. Takes from one and puts in the other.  I kinda like that idea, I think I may steal it :)  I thought of trying it with loonies but I would probably spend them.

Well, I am off to finish figuring out points for whats left in the house, which shouldn't take too long, there isn't much here.
