    Hi gals! I just thought I would check in. Weight Watchers is doing nothing for me so far ... but it really has nothing to do with their program, I am just not in the right place mentally to stay motivated with any eating plan right now. I'm basically the same weight as when I started, maybe even up a couple of pounds if the scale this morning wasn't just water weight... very frustrating, but evidentally not frustrating enough. But I signed up for 6 months of Weight Watchers, so I need to make more of an effort to actually count my points and try to stay under them.

    So here are a few goals, I'm going to write them down and hope they stick that way! -
    I'm hungry all the time ... so I need to start bringing veggies to work to feed that munchy need.
    I haven't been going to the Y as regularly as I was 6 months ago ... need to establish a new 'have to' schedule.
    I've been very hit or miss with tracking my WW points - I need to do that at least 5 days a week, including evenings (which is what I have been skipping).
    I haven't 'connected' with a WW group - so I need to try some different groups.

    I hope you are all doing well, I will have to peruse the last few pages of check-ins to see how everyone is doing!

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? YES, I have increased my biking to 20 min w/additional exercise.

    I've been in VA all week at a conference. Not a good eating and exercise week. I did stay away from morning and afternoon snacks during the conference :-) Was supposed to fly home last night but the flight was cancelled so I came home early this morning. Back to the Y tomorrow...

    Don't beat yourself up!! :-) I didn't like WW or tracking points. I prefer tracking calories (when I do...) Maybe that's why I'm still in the same place on my healthy lifestyle journey. LOL I love Kind bars - dark chocolate and sea salt. It keeps me full for quite a while. Filled with almonds, nice crunchy texture... yummy! Veggies are good too. Keep checking in - we'll be here going through the same things that you are :-)

    The past week was terrible - conference food and beverages. I did notice something - when I ate I never went with my first instinct which were healthy choices. I caved in to dessert... was going to have soup/salad decided to have hot wings instead. This is the first time I've noticed this behavior. Hopefully - lesson learned.

    GOLDK - Read your post about eating at the conference. The fact that you realized what you ate and should not have
    eaten is a big plus. Next time just look over the buffet table very slowly and pick out only the good stuff.
    I have been to few buffets lately and that is what I am doing now. Just walking around first and looking then going
    back to the beginning and then picking out the good stuff. Maybe that will help.
