So I have now finished up 1 week of the plan and tomorrow evening will be the official weigh in to see how I did this week.

I used up 31 of my 41 points today and the number has been kind of low really all week. I went over once this week by 1 point (which I’m ok because I had flex points to spend) but every other day I’ve been way under.

I think I’ve realized my problem and it’s nothing to do with snacking on unhealthy food, because as I can tell by keeping track of my points I’m not much of a snacker. The reason why my points are so low is because I eat my meal and I’m done. I’ve been having to actually force myself to snack this week because I’m so under on my points because what I’m choosing to eat is low in calories for my meals.

That’s my problem, I haven’t been overeating. I haven’t been eating because I’m bored and snacking all the time. My problem has been making bad decisions on what I eat during my meals and it’s a lot of crap that I had been eating. Cheeseburgers, pizza, fried foods, BBQ, etc. I haven’t had any of that this past week (with the 1 exception of pizza). So it looks like in the meantime I need to learn how to eat again. When I make my current meals it’s a lot of food that are low calorie but I should add some other options with it. I’ve noticed I’ve been low in the fruit category so I’ll probably work on that a bit.

Anyway, tomorrow is the official weigh in for the first week and tomorrow will be the first day I start tracking activity points with the Wii.
