Purple is My Favorite Color!

Tweet

So after getting bombarded with offers in my email account from Weight Watchers I decided to give it another try. The offer was really a good one too. $10 a month for 6 months. I decided I could afford that. The group they placed me in is the Purple group. I took it as a sign that it was a good choice because purple is my favorite color. I only get 19 points to work with in a day. But, there are over 300 zero points in the Purple group. The first day was brutal!! I was going through sugar detox and by the end of the day I needed a fix!! I grabbed a few red jelly beans and 3 marshmallows. I whined. Went to bed hungry because I forgot to check the zero points to see what I could have. Day 2 was better. I try to keep my carbs for breakfast. I'll eat 1 slice of Lifebread sugar free whole grain bread, which I toast and top with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter. Of course I have to have my coffee with half and half. Lunch is a salad with 1/2 cup of chick peas, cherry tomatoes, and ranch dressing (I keep it to 1-2 tablespoons) and a slice or 2 of melon. Dinner is protein of my choice, usually chicken or fish. I can have red meat, but I prefer chicken breast or fish. I can have vegetables and fruit as a side. Yes, I can have pasta, but it needs to be whole wheat. I will probably make a small batch to keep in the freezer and use it when I feel I need to. I can also have potato wedges that I'll cook in the air fryer using a cooking spray and seasoning. Of course you can't eat a lot, but a little goes a long way!!! I have been on the program for 4 days and have lost 5 lb. Hoping I can stick with it this time. I've only let my sister and a few other know I am once again trying to do this. I feel safe announcing it here.
