Weight Watchers

I've been following the Weight Watchers program since before last Thanksgiving - so about 18 weeks now.  I've lost a total of 18.2 pounds during that time and am very excited about it!  No, I don't always follow the plan exactly and I don't always keep my food journal updated, but I've learned to pay great attention to portion size.  Just being AWARE of what I eat has helped me tremendously.  I have also learned to substitute healthier foods for more fattening ones.  I had gotten into the habit of eating ice cream after supper at night, and now I eat sherbet instead since it is non-fat.  I eat it from a very small bowl to help with portion control.  I had been exercising regularly up until 3 weeks ago.  I got out of my routine and haven't jumped back in yet.  I like jogging and feel so much more energetic and happy when I do it regularly.  I had planned to do a half-marathon in early June this year, but my study abroad plans conflicted with that so I don't have a particular goal in mind at this time.  Thus, the lack of motivation.  Maybe I should get online and check for an organized event in the late summer or fall.  Great idea!  I'll see what I can find.
