Feburary 21: Doing okay on Points Plus

At least, I think I'm doing okay. I've been pretty good about following the program, have used only one bonus point since I went to Weight Watchers, and have picked up the pace of exercising.

What I haven't done is stepped on the scale. We don't own one and I don't feel like laying out the bucks that an accurate scale for a Woman of Substance would cost. Next Saturday I think I'll bike down to Weight Watchers, plunk down my fourteen bucks and weigh myself, though.

All that fruit on Points Plus makes for luxurious eating, though. I don't feel deprived at all and as I think about it I'm only adding maybe 4 points of "free" eating. Not a bad tradeoff for not feeling deprived.

Meanwhile, Mr. Southphl is within three pounds of his goal weight and has decided to go on premature maintenance, or at least to use up all his bonus points. He's still on the old Point system, doesn't feel like learning new tricks.

Tonight we will have leftovers: leftover roast chicken, leftover brown/wild rice blend. The vegetables won't be left over, though.
