Saturday morning, I made my way (sadly, didn’t walk because I was running so late) to the 8:30 a.m. WW meeting, and it was packed. It was fantastic, I must say, to be amongst such a big group of people, all of which were committed (to a greater or lesser degree) to working on their weight issues. Seeing as I’m still fairly new to this area, it was great to feel a part of a community. The group was very vocal, which I liked. The leader called people by name, which was nice.
I weighed in within two pounds of my starting weight back in 1989, when I lost 70 lbs on WW. I’m going to consider that a good omen, rather than focusing on the fact that I have gained it all back 
.
I also convinced DH and his buddy (who’d come over to watch football on Sunday) to move the treadmill from the garage to inside the house, where it can actually be used. Bought some running shoes, as well. Also signed up for the e-mail list for “See Jane Run” training programs. It’s a women-focused athletics store that runs training programs for both marathon and triathlon. Unfortunately, both programs are pretty much done for this year, but it’d be a great goal for next year to run either/or marathon or triathlon.
I didn’t eat great this weekend but one revelation was exactly how much I’m allowed to eat on WW. Because I’m nursing, I get 36 points a day, plus 35 “flex points” to use over the course of the week. That’s a lot. It’s 12 points per meal, and a McDonald’s Happy Meal (w/Diet Coke) is 13, I think. I honestly think I haven’t been eating enough at each meal, which has set me up to be very hungry and binge.
