A couple friends have been telling me how much they like the Weight Watchers Points Plus program. I know it's time for me to start better monitoring what I'm eating. I'm doing pretty well with exercise and I'm not losing, so the problem must be with my eating.
Well, guess what? IT IS the problem. I'm allowed to have 30 points and all the fruit I can eat every day (plus activity points and weekly bonus points). Yesterday I slavishly documented everything I ate and guess what? Fifty-two (52) points. Much of that involved sugar.
So. We've identified the problem and a possible solution. Now I just need to stay focused.
In other news, HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY! If you have a minute, check out this New York Times story from a few years ago about an Irish teacher who shows her Bronx students how to do Irish step dance. Be sure to watch the video - it makes me tear up every time.
