Still learning how to bend...

In a world full of tears, we'll conquer all our fears...

This was a better week. I went back to WW last Sunday and returned for my first weigh in this past Sunday. As a result, I lost 1.8 pounds. I wish I could have lost more during my first week, but it's possible that Memorial Day festivities had a little to do with the smaller number. Regardless, a loss is a loss and I'm trying to be positive that this is the start of my (hopefully final) weight loss journey. It'd be nice to never see that number on the scale again.

So far this week (I know it's only Monday) I have felt empowered and in control. I went food shopping last night and made some smart choices and I am excited to be counting points again and getting used to the new program. I hope that this motivation continues and I don't burn out before the week is over.

Tonight I made the Grilled Chicken Bruschetta from the skinnytaste.com website. OMG it was by far the BEST bruschetta I have ever tasted and topping chicken with it was a fantasticly yummy dinner that Darryl even enjoyed. I will definitely be adding that to my weekly menu. I'm probably going to ask my mom if I can whip up a batch of the bruschetta to bring to my parents house this weekend. We do the weekly BBQ over the summer by my parents house, so it will be nice if I can come up with a few recipes that are WW friendly and can be enjoyed by everyone.

I might post again later...but for now...
