Food Choices - Be Strong or Avoid the Pub
Filed Under Weight Watchers, beverages, food | Comments Off
What’s the first thing you do upon leaving your local Weight Watchers meeting? You go directly to the nearest taproom of course! The beauty of Weight Watchers is that you don’t have specific food to avoid, you just have to know how everything affects your weight and then make better choices about portion sizes.
All foods are assigned points. You get a certain number of points to consume every day. Eat or drink whatever you want as long as you stop when you exhaust your daily points total. Get points back for exercise. Simple, right?
Lisa is better at it than I am but I’ll “ramp up” in the next week or so. While she could have gotten onion rings or fries, Lisa chose the Memphis Taproom’s chilled blueberry ginger soup. It was a lovely shade of violet. The chef there really knows what he’s doing.

Weight Watchers - week 1
Filed Under Weight Watchers, food | Comments Off
My wife has really found motivation by attending our local Weight Watchers meetings and has talked me into attending with her on Thursday nights. I’m a 6′1″ lad with some large bones. If I were to lose 40 or 50 pounds I would really be skinny. Let’s start with one pound and we’ll see how it goes.
I thought I’d post my weekly progress here as additional motivation. If you’re reading this and you want to keep me honest, send me an email.
The first meeting was last night and I feel better already.
