It is hard to believe I have been on my journey for 4 weeks now. I can't believe how motivated I am when it comes to my food. I have to find the motivation to get into the gym, but that is another hurdle. I lost 1 pound this week and this brings my total weight loss thus far to 8 pounds. I realize if I started going to the gym, my results would be greater, but for now I am okay with this. I know there will be weeks I don't even see a one pound loss, but I will worry about that when it happens.
I went out to eat with my family, Steven (Christina's boyfriend), Greg and Sandy, Nanny, and Michelle and the girls. We went to Jasper's and the food was great - service not so much. I chose the steak and shrimp and substituted grilled shrimp for the fried butterfly shrimp it would have come with. They ran out of baked potatoes before my meal came out and my choices were fries, mashed potatoes, or another not so good for me side. My loving husband gave me his baked potato and he took the mashed. It wasn't that I couldn't have eaten the mashed potatoes, it was I didn't want them. You see, on Weight Watchers I can eat anything I want to. I had my ice cream cake and counted the 14 points - but man was it worth it:)
I had a wonderful time with my family and had no guilt feelings of what I ate.
Well, I am now into week 5 and hope I can get to the gym this week. Wish me luck!

Dinner sounds like fun, and I am so impressed to hear about your food choices!! I think that is definitely the hardest point of losing weight- just making those 'right' choices. But, at least you have choices, and thankfully, WW is not something where you can really get bored. Congrats to the 8lbs- it really is a wonderful accomplishment!!!
