Two things


1. I lost a point.

As mentioned in previous posts, WeightWatchers is based on a "points" system. Rather than count calories or fat grams or carbohydrates, you count points. The value of a point is determined by using some sort of *math* formula with the calories, fat and fiber in a food item. Roughly, 50 calories = 1 point.

Each WW participant is given a certain amount of points per day to eat. That's how it works. You can eat whatever you want, but once you've eaten your allotted number of points, you're done. How many points you are given a day is determined by a number of factors, including weight, age, sex, how sedentary your job is, whether you're nursing, etc.

The main factor, though, is weight. And because I've lost a certain amount of weight, I've lost one point per day.

I mean, it's GOOD. Don't get me wrong. I fully acknowledge that.

On the other hand, it's tricky to take 7 points out of your week! It's a Lean Cuisine French Bread Pizza Deluxe!



2. Goals

I think since I have already surpassed my Mexico goal, that I should probably set a new one. I have two weeks until Mexico, so let's say: 6 pounds by then or 25 total.

And then the week after that is BVI, I'd like to be at 30 pounds by BVI.

That means I will have to either: REALLY watch what I eat in Mexico or get super motivated right now.

It's come to this: I might have to go to the gym.

Oy!
