Take #...lost count

I rejoined Weight Watchers this weekend.  I'm trying to go in with a very different mindset.  I haven't even started thinking about points yet.  I'm looking up recipes to try (going down the Pinterest rabbit hole, come join me http://pinterest.com/copax0122/, thinking about kitchen things I need to buy.  When I start thinking about points, I'm going to just calculate what I eat right now.  I'm not going to try to pre-adjust my diet.  If I'm relatively near my recommended points, great.  If I'm twice my points, that's great too.  At least I'll have a better idea of what to work on.  I looked at the number from the scale, but I'm going to try and ignore it to some degree.  I'm also considering joining a gym, but for now I'm going to focus on making some diet changes, and using my exercise bike or the exercise equipment they have at work.  I'd like to someday work with a personal trainer and understand "how to exercise"

Right on! I love the approach of figuring out where you're starting from first.

Thanks, Carol. I'm already having to temper my response to what I'm seeing, and I'm not even through the first day of full tracking.

What do you mean, Chris? Are you surprised at how the points are looking?

(Same Carol as always, my log isn't working at the moment. User error.)

Yeah I burned through a lot of extra points the first full day I tracked. Yesterday I didn't eat much at all, and burned through my points, and I'm doing sunday brunch with my family today. I still just need to focus on knowing what I eat, and not necessarily fixing it all right now. That's what I did yesterday, and ending up feeling like shit.
