Core Is Good

I've only been doing the Weight Watchers Core program a week, but I feel good.  I'm down two or three pounds (I haven't weighed myself today) and I feel confident about it.

The best parts so far aren't that I've lost a few pounds.  I've lost and regained these particular pounds ten times over the past few months.  No the best parts are:

1.  I'm cooking again.  I love to cook and create and sleuth around the house to make something cool and unusual that's also tasty.  When I go food shopping and all my choices are Core choices, that's an easy thing to do.

2. I'm having dinner with my husband again.  When I was doing Jenny Craig, I was microwaving something and maybe he was cooking something for himself, or maybe not.  Usually I just ate my dinner in front of the tv and he fended for himself.  Now every night we've been home for dinner we've cooked and eaten together, which is cool.

3.  I'm motivated to exercise again.  Since Thursday (and today is the following Wednesday) I have only not worked out one day.  I feel good when I'm working out, especially when I do it first thing in the morning.

4.  I'm drinking water again.  I've got these water bottles stashed all over my house and work and I fill them up and drink them as much as possible.  I can see the difference in my skin already, which pleases me.

It's annoying to me that I'm saying "again" because I've already done these things.  I've already "learned" to eat right and exercise daily and drink enough water, but somehow I forgot how important that is.  Hopefully this time the lesson will stick.

Okay, off to the basement, I have a date with Stephanie Huckabee, Firm Master Instructor!
