Day 2...already off the wagon

Well not completely off. I did go over my point allowance by 4 points. Not terrible but I think it's mainly because I don't have many healthy snacks at home. Maybe by payday I'll be able to buy some more healthy desserts. Oh and not this Saturday but next Saturday I have a (little) date....yup me. So I main concern (knowing very well I can't shed all my pounds by then) is to get my hips down. I have a small issue fitting in some chairs and since I don't really know where we're going I don't want too many surprises happening. My main plan is water. Lots of it.

Anyway, onto what I ate (yesterday)
Breakfast-
Special K Chocolate Shake-5pts
Monster Trail Mix (2x)-10 pts

Lunch-
Ham and Cheddar Lunchable-7pts
Popcorn (1.5 servings)-8pts

Dinner-
El Pollo Loco Chicken Salad (x2 but 4 hours appart)- 16pts

Snacks/Dessert-
Pears-3pts
Churro- 4 pts.

See, that last churro was the culprit. I was in the drive through for El Pollo Loco and thought hey, I want one. I'm paying for it I can buy what I want! Yup, stubborn 12 year old me :/. So already I can see where I spend my points and what I can do to improve.

What Happened...?

So I started this blog with every intention to start my journey to becoming healthier. And then I just dropped off into nothingness. Well let me tell you it was not by choice. Recently I had to take a medical leave of absence from work due to an injury so my income was null. Yup, nada. So now that I decided to start again I do so having a guess at my weight and a shoddy plan at best.

I'm taking another shot at Weight Watchers since that's the most experience I've had. I know the basics of the old plan and found an app to help me track my food intake. I think another thing that will help me is to track on here my food intake too. I'm warning your, don't follow in my foot steps, my first few weeks are going to be rough and not be the best in nutrition but that will change ;).

Breakfast-
Special K Chocolate Shake 5pts.

Random-
Dr. Pepper (2.5)  3 pts. so 7.5 pts total

Lunch-
Ham and Cheddar Lunchable 7 pts. (yikes!)
Monster Trail Mix 5 pts.

Snack-
Another Ham and Cheddar Lunchable 7 pts.

Dinner-
El Pollo Loco Chicken Salad w/ dressing 8pts

Dessert-
Burger King Sundae 8 pts.

So in total: 49 points...give or take.
