So far so good..

I just completed week two on the Weight Watchers diet, ahem, lifestyle change.  Things are going great.  I've lost 5 pounds in two weeks.  That's a bit more than the plan wants me to lose in this time frame but I'm sure it will balance out over time.  I like seeing the progress I'm making and I can tell I'm not as hungry between meals on most days.  I'm snacking less between meals, but I do want my supper earlier in the day.  My big test will be this coming weekend when we spend a few days at the beach.  I believe we're planning to eat in most of the time so that should help some.  Going out to eat is a bit more difficult for me to find something that works with my points but so far I'm handling it.  We went to Outback Friday night for the first time in a couple of months.  I had gone on a site to figure out what I could eat.  I was going to get the 6oz sirloin special with broccoli and a salad but when we got there we saw the specials list which had mahi mahi on it.  I haven't had mahi mahi in forever and I knew I'd be eating steak Saturday night so I thought, why not?  I had the mahi mahi and broccoli and a salad.  I really don't know exactly how many points I ate but I feel pretty confident I stayed pretty close to my daily allotment.  If I did go over, I had plenty of weekly points plus to use.  I actually didn't use all of my weekly points plus last week.  My next goal is to start exercising so I can  add some activity points to my stock pile.
