Veggies and more veggies

Today is a veggie day!
I went and shopped around the perimeter of the grocery store today.
A friend of mine told me that the old adages that we are told like shopping around the perimeter of the market is the way to go - are so true!

I cut up all the vegetables and have put them into a very nice container that makes me want to snack snack snack on them. :)

So far I have made healthy choices today, am pretty high in points... But I did go for a walk around the block, 30 mins so thats awesome.

More to come tomorrow.
Plus my attempt at kale chips!

Day 3 and hungry

Well.
Food is taking over my life. Almost consuming me.
I guess that's better then the over consumption I was doing to my life, with food.
:)

Yesterday I woke up an had coffee and hot instant oatmeal with apple and banana. One hour later I was starving. I need to become friendly with some protein. Nuts, or nut butter. But those are high in the pts realm. Need to look into this.
Other then indulging in popcorn at the film festival, it was a pretty well fueled day.
Tomorrow I plan on making a proper meal plan, shopping and creating some ideas for dinner and snacks.
Here is to feeling full and light.

Day 1 - finally

Day one is here.
Finally.
I think that I have been looking for day one for over 12 years. 10 years at the very least. I've committed to join WW. Yep, I am making a life style choice that seems like it will be different from the gluten, dairy, wheat, soy, dairy casein free journey that I took two years ago, and crashed and burned after 6 months. Also different from the raw journey that I was on a year and a half ago. That must have been to same time that I was attending boot camp - in the wee hours of the morning.

Anyway I digress. Which is precisely what I did with the above "healthy eating" fads. Don't get me wrong, if the above list or others that I have not mentioned work for you, then awesome. I just know they don't work for me.

I must admit that I am a little excited about this journey. The possibilities that will play out and the places that I will go. On the same token, am a tad apprehensive as well. Maybe that's a healthy combo though? Really, what do I have to lose? Oh wait, that's the point.
Well here we go.
