My day started off as normal; I got up and headed off to the gym. Came home, showered and made some breakfast. Today was muesli and “low fat” apple crumble flavoured yoghurt, which turned out not so low fat! A whole two weight watchers points. Damnit, have to cut back on something else today.
Headed off to Uni for my Tax lecture. When the class finished at 11am I headed off to the bank to increase my interest free overdraft so I could make it through my exams and not have to work lots of hours. Those hours are needed for study. The bank approved me, yay, spending time. Only the essentials of course.
My most important purchase was a new top to wear to my Dad’s wedding on Friday (I will blog more about that after the ‘do). It took five shops before I even saw anything I liked! But in the fifth shop I was successful and found a cute top which only cost me $24.99 - bargain! I didn’t want to spend lots, because I’m doing well on the weight loss and I’m not planning on being this size much longer, so it was a good find! (Pics will be posted after Friday). In the same shop I also found two cute tees. They were only $13.99 each, so I had to plunge. One was in my 365 day shot for today and I’m sure you’ll see me in the other one soon.
Also relating to my Dad’s wedding I was trying to schedule in a cut and colour for my hair. The re-growth is gross! I needed to do it regardless of the impending wedding. I was very lucky that my hairdresser could switch one of her appointments to squeeze me in on Friday at noon. So I’m very fortunate, it’s my fault for leaving it so late!
After my shopping expedition and phone calls to my hairdresser I figured I should squeeze in some exam study for Law before heading off to tennis. I managed to cover a couple of topics and then headed off to tennis at 5.30pm.
This was my first interclub game of the season. I hadn’t picked up my racquet since March! I was dreading going, thinking I was just going to lose every set - who wants that much fun? But you can’t let your team down, so I turned up and won my singles!! 6-4, 6-2. I played as number 2 (out of 4, 1 being the best) as well, so it’s a harder game than when I used to play at 3 or 4. I was so thrilled. We won all our games, except my doubles partner and I lost our doubles game. But overall our team won. What a great way to start a season!
Now I’m home, it’s 10.30pm, I’m showered, exfoliated, absorbing the fake tan I applied 30 minutes ago and ready for bed.

How many points are you doing on a daily basis? The few people that I know on the program are doing about 15 points a day. 2 points for breakfast shouldn’t be THAT bad.
It sounds like you had a pretty busy day, congrats on winning!
Yay for new hair-do’s

Haha.. yeah I’m on 18 per day, but if you add in the muesli, milk & my morning coffee that’s 5 points. plus the extra yoghurt at 2 points which I normally don’t eat… all adds up!

Oh yea, that’s 7 points from the start. EEK!
I do know that 15 mini pretzels are 1 point. My grandmothers been on weight watchers for years, she’s lost about 60 pounds in total on it, but the medication has a way of messing with her. So she’ll be down 30 but gain 35 when they change her dosage. It’s unfortunate, but she’s so set into the Weight Watchers lifestyle that she can stick to it without even having to keep a food journal to keep up on things anymore. It’s pretty cool…I’d do it but I have no idea what equals a point and the calculations that they give you to figure it out scare the bejesus out of me.

Yeah 7 points is too much for breakfast, it should be the lightest meal of the day!
Oh she’s lucky then! I still have to write everything down or I don’t stick to it & can’t keep up with how many points I’ve had! haha. Amazing that her medication can change her weight so drastically!!
I used to be a real weight watchers member & would go for the weigh in each week. But it costs $18 a week for them to weigh you & I don’t have any extra cash at the moment. So I get a family member to check me each week. But I have all the books which list the points per food item still, so I can work out my points. I don’t know how you guys do the ww points, I’m sure it must be the same as us? And there’s a card that you can work out the kj’s and saturated fat per serving of any packaged foods, to give you the points value.
15 mini pretzels for 1 point is awesome!!! I don’t think we have mini pretzels here.
I like weight watchers, because you can have a piece of chocolate cake, it just means you have to cut back on something else during the day.
