So if the answer is no, can I change your mind?

Here is what I’ve learned from my first week on the weight watchers program:

1. I need to plan better meals

2. I need to eat more fruits and veggies

3. I have eaten a lot of bananas.

4. I hate eating breakfast so a meal replacement shake is working the best for me.

5. I can’t have chocolate kisses every day.

6. I need to get rid of the snack foods, stat.

7. I need to move more.

8. I need to sleep more.

Today was my first official weigh- in since I started a week ago, and I’ve only lost 2.4 pounds. I know that it is good that I’m losing but I have to admit I was a little upset that it wasn’t more. I find that I am constantly feeling hungry so I wonder if I’m eating the right foods that fill me up. I try to employ the whole, "drink more water approach, but then I just end up feeling overly water logged."

I definitely need to find a balance. It helps that the ladies in my office have taken a better more healthy approach to lunch because that eliminates wanting to break from the path and eat a burger or something take out. I’ve for the most part had lunch to take to work each day with the exception of the incident where someone stole my lunch. But all in all I’ve been actively trying to plan better.

My goal for next week is to lose at least 5lbs so I know I’m going to have to work a little harder. I thought I was going to have my boss to work out with me after work some days but it appears that our schedules are not meshing as I would have hoped, but I definitely need to still keep myself accountable and work out even if I’m tired, such as the case of Monday, where I was supposed to, but decided to sleep instead

That being said I’ve introduced melatonin into my nightly ritual and started my first attempt last night. I went to bed around I took the pill around 10PM and started feeling the effects around 10:30, but didn’t actually get into bed until around 11PM. I did what was suggested and turned my phone upside down and ignored any texts and or calls and fell asleep, but woke multiple times through the night and then finally woke up around 4:45 and was unable to go back to sleep. So I just lay in bed until it was time to get up. In retrospect I probably should have gotten up and maybe exercised but it felt good to just lay there too.

I’ve managed to eat breakfast for 5 out of 7 days of the week so I just really need to incorporate more veggies and fruits. I think I’m 4 carrots away from being a rabbit though.
