I started Weight Watchers again. As a man, this can be rather embarrassing to admit. However, I find that their practices which include: Portion Management, Regular Food, Exercise, Water Intake and a variety of healthy recipes is most effective.
I had done this a couple of years ago and it worked pretty well, but then I got into a relationship with my fiancee and we ended up eating out a lot, partying and generally living life in the fast lane. I also do a lot of the cooking around the house. We used mostly butter for cooking and didn’t much care what the costs were health-wise.
Then I saw the doctor about an ailment I was having. My ailment turned out to be nothing but my blood test returned HORRIBLE bad cholesterol levels. I was put on a diet and had to see a dietician.
Since, I’m getting married very soon I decided I wanted to be healthy for my bride to be and rejoined weight watchers. I made a promise to my group on the first day I was going to workout three times a week and use my clubmembership. So far I’ve stuck to it. It’s been 6 weeks since I’ve been ‘on the diet’ and I’ve lost 10lbs. I feel much better. And I eat whatever I want on the diet. It allows me to be in control. I like that.
So a little while ago I posted a chart on this site located in the navigation bar to the left. It says “watch my weight”. My goal is to get under two hundred by the wedding. I’m not really on track for that right now–but I’m going to buckle down and make it happen.
We shall see…
I’m in the same boat, except I’m not getting married. 🙂 Anyhow, went to the doctor for something else, and got a cholesterol check and found that it was pretty high. With my family history proving several additional risk factors it was said that I really need to get my cholesterol down. I just finished almost 3 months of diet and excercise to lose weight and lower my cholesterol. I should have the results of my recheck this week sometime, but I lost 19 pounds between the first check and the recheck. Let’s hope I can keep losing. 🙂
Man, did I have a bad week. Didn’t stick to the diet at all. Drank too much alcohol, ate Cecils, Pizza and Steak all in the same week. Bleah.
Welp, time to get back on the horse.
