Changing to WW Core

Well counting WW points had finally got to me!!!

I had a week away which I think I coped pretty well without my online membership. I was able to make good choices and felt ok about a couple of treats as I was exercising a lot while away.

I came home and just couldn't get back into counting everything. I was still making good choices with food, but was really resenting having to count everything. I love eating fruit as a snack and didn't like feeling limited on the points system. It is when I am in this frame of mind that I tend to go for the fish and chips or biscuits.

I was really starting to get depressed about the whole thing. I wasn't going off track or wanting to give up, I just wanted a change. I sometimes have a day or two of being really sick of watching everything I eat. I suppose in these times I get jealous of people who just reach for the tim tams or big white bread roll and don't seem to worry about it.

So in my usual manner of stubborness, I wasn't going to lose sight of my goal, but make some changes!! I decided to switch to the Core Program. I had thought about it and was curious to how it worked but I suppose I was afraid I couldn't stick to it properly.

Well, I made the switch and today is day 2!! So far I am feeling really good about the change. I have a renewed motivation about using WW and I am loving having more fruit without having to skimp on other foods. Plus I have found in these two days I haven't wanted to have a sweet treat. I know that will wear off, as I like the odd WW lamington or 1 point milky way!!!

Anyway, I am hoping this change will get things moving again. I know I have been losing weight because my clothes keep getting loser, but the scales haven't reflected it at all. I try not to focus on the scales as they aren't a very good friend at the moment.

So at the moment, Core is my new focus, and in regards to exercise, I am trying to increase the jogging! I jogged for 22 minutes without stopping on the weekend, which I was so pleased with.

I also want to thank everyone who reads my blog and for all the lovely encouraging comments people make on the blog and in the WW boards. I feel honored to be considered an inspiration. Everyone has the ability to make changes!

Thanks so much again.................
