Crystal Light Challenge Update

I walked for 20 minutes in my job’s parking lot on Thursday at lunch while chatting with my mom, but that’s about it.  My plan is to start using the Wii Fit again, but I haven’t actually put that into motion like I should.

How did you do on your goal?

Weight Watchers Update

I joined Weight Watchers on January 4, 2011:

• Weighed in at 176 pounds
• Wore a Size 14/16
• Assigned up to 252 points a week plus whatever activity points I can earn (and was told to stay above 203 no matter what). 

My current goal is to weigh 163 or less by July 4, 2011 and fit into a Size 12 since that’s the halfway point to my end of year goal to weigh 15o and fit into a Size 10.

Here is where I stand today:

• I now weigh 174.  (2 pounds down is not too bad for 5 whole days, lol)
• My clothes are a smidge looser, but it could be in my head. 
• I used 169 points of the 182 I was assigned.  (180 for the 5 days and 2 points for exercise)

Thanks for keeping me honest!  I hope all of your goals are going as planned!
