Especially after the chili. It was leftover from a tailgate party we had last weekend. I just estimated the points to be around 5 originally, then I got to adding it up and I think it was quite a bit more than that, so I went with 10! For some reason this morning I woke up at 5:45am (an hour too early) and was wide awake so I decided to go for a walk. My little puppy was pretty excited about that, she doesn't usually get 30 minute walks in the mornings! Felt good to start off the day with some exercise! I also got in 156 oz of water today.<br /><br />I joined WW today. I think the meeting time on Tuesday works best for me (5:30pm). When I did it a few years ago I went on Thursdays over my lunch break and I just seemed so rushed. So I think this will work out good and I actually know a few of the ladies at the meeting. I decided to go with the <a href="http://enter.weightwatchers.com/1033/OF_MP_Landing.html">"Monthly Pass"</a>. You get free registration, free online e-tools, unlimited monthly meetings, and it came out to the lowest price per week. I thought it sounded like the best deal & I love the idea of the free e-tools, I think I'll use that a lot.<br /><br />When I did WW before you figured your daily points target based on your weight. Now there are multiple things to determine your daily points target; gender, age, weight, height, & profession. My daily points target came out to 29 points, which I thought was really high. I used to always aim for 20-24 points per day. I think for now I am going to stick with the 24 points per day and see how it goes. I definitely feel satisfied and not starving, so I can't see how eating 5 more points would help me.

Day 1 (Monday 11/3)

My weight is like a rollar coaster. It goes UP and down! And I am <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">going </span>to change that by changing my eating habits and exercising. In the past I have done WW, no carb, Alli, and a few other odd diets and have found, for me, that WW works the best. So tonight is my (last!) first WW weigh in/meeting! Officially though I started yesterday as Day 1 to a smaller me! I have to say that is was a successful day! Here is a recap:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">BREAKFAST: Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal & an apple. 3 points</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEzP6kqOjOlslIE_vXMKGYgL6CHrh6RFzMONjpbef1-Zr_x4g2Rf_6dt7p47U6w47yYoQvPl6Evnw3KN5ygSFlDTZkwpuFSFl6rh3dx2SEs-DANcvxirqVl2Bo67G5eqBZlM4ONeyfQW7j/s1600-h/DSC01048.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264835023936932034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEzP6kqOjOlslIE_vXMKGYgL6CHrh6RFzMONjpbef1-Zr_x4g2Rf_6dt7p47U6w47yYoQvPl6Evnw3KN5ygSFlDTZkwpuFSFl6rh3dx2SEs-DANcvxirqVl2Bo67G5eqBZlM4ONeyfQW7j/s320/DSC01048.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" /></a>LUNCH: WW SmartOnes Slow Roasted Turkey Breast with mashed potatoes & 1 cup of skim milk. 6 points<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuRbT_nBzuYpLR879CYYXgixF2eO4K4TZKYumFyxHBtgmr-Bb8j7nKRHQIMNe6NCW8oc2TLNkMRvNJL4R3GZQCYPF6Dv0J5eDFvSrGW2Wn7sPsw2nzkmosNztXm61XsaY6MA8PqXE2Vmxo/s1600-h/DSC01047.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264835021880404210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuRbT_nBzuYpLR879CYYXgixF2eO4K4TZKYumFyxHBtgmr-Bb8j7nKRHQIMNe6NCW8oc2TLNkMRvNJL4R3GZQCYPF6Dv0J5eDFvSrGW2Wn7sPsw2nzkmosNztXm61XsaY6MA8PqXE2Vmxo/s320/DSC01047.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS2gYMUAejZLyZJ0c6EgoL13K3BKgyJb2gkGbqmiSIxsHqs1jNh_0Tqzz79F31e_SL57XndiNYH3yYDn7h40sW0ETItq_oB6dHLKQpangSq3iMk-MWpVddIrdbo4fNaND6U5UjMIwOhgCO/s1600-h/DSC01049.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264835017185736194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS2gYMUAejZLyZJ0c6EgoL13K3BKgyJb2gkGbqmiSIxsHqs1jNh_0Tqzz79F31e_SL57XndiNYH3yYDn7h40sW0ETItq_oB6dHLKQpangSq3iMk-MWpVddIrdbo4fNaND6U5UjMIwOhgCO/s320/DSC01049.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" /></a><br />SUPPER: Progresso Vegetable & Noodle Soup w/ a cheese sandwich. 6 points</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTvhypQ_QsA5-gOLuU6ZZ4Nh_II4dUMpqqazW8ay4HWoDTLpDv7Fq-_jwt7xnF7niKSs3fEwLi5RZBYQMYyEe8d3PPSpcfJgQfZD5XVJ6AI2MO8TksPKPvPKD2IGmZMWxUxoKU3hyphenhyphenVFOCn/s1600-h/DSC01055.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264835012374986898" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTvhypQ_QsA5-gOLuU6ZZ4Nh_II4dUMpqqazW8ay4HWoDTLpDv7Fq-_jwt7xnF7niKSs3fEwLi5RZBYQMYyEe8d3PPSpcfJgQfZD5XVJ6AI2MO8TksPKPvPKD2IGmZMWxUxoKU3hyphenhyphenVFOCn/s320/DSC01055.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" /></a><br />I did have a snack after supper of some FF cool whip (it's like ice cream for me!) for 2 points. I got in 120 oz water, of which I was proud, totaled 17 points for the day (need to get in more points), and also a 30 minute walk with my husband as well. Overall it was a great Day 1!! Let's hope they continue!!
