Last week I posted about the One Month Weight Loss Challenge I am participating in online. Well, it began this past Monday. So far, so good!
I’m following Weight Watchers again because I love the program and I know it works! What inspires me the most about Weight Watchers is that it is NOT a diet, it’s a lifestyle change. I know that sounds sort of cliched to say, but it’s true. It’s not a diet because on the Flex Plan, I can eat anything I want to as long as I account for the Points. This means that breads, sweets, etc. aren’t off-limits. YAY! It’s been an adjustment reducing my daily caloric intake, but I know that the first several days are the most difficult for me and I’m hanging in there.
I’m also increasing my water in-take and that has been another challenge for me, but it’s a challenge I’m happy to say that I’m meeting head-on. I am not a water drinker by nature, but I am getting better about it. Yesterday I bought two things that are helping with my water consumption. They are:
I love this pitcher because now I can have fresh, cold water any time I want it! I had been buying cases of bottled water, but I felt pretty guilty about that because I know the plastic winds up in the landfill and takes up space there forever. So, I decided yesterday to get the Brita and reuse the plastic bottles we have around the house. It’s a great solution! This pitcher is definitely a worthy investment. For only $20, I have months of fresh water! The filters aren’t costly to replace either. Can’t beat that!
Kellogg’s All-Bran Fiber Drink Mix in Pink Lemonade
My best friend Terri told me about this drink mix and I couldn’t wait to try it. It only has 20 calories per serving and has 10 grams of dietary fiber! That means it has no Weight Watcher Points! Awesome! The best thing is that it tastes great. So, I can get my fiber and my water in one sweet package. This is one of the best new products out there if you ask me. I have been recommending it all over the place! YUM!
My first weigh-in is this coming Monday. I hope to have lost at least two pounds by then. Maybe a little more. I’m excited about this and I know the results will come as long as I exercise and stick to Weight Watchers. Again…wish me luck. 😉
