Moving On

I just did something I've been thinking about for a wee while now. My week of positive thinking/being nice to myself has given me the confidence to finally cancel my Weight Watchers subscription. Here are my reasons why:
  • I just do not believe in/like Pro Points. I know its loved and worked for millions of people but it is just not for me.
  • I do not want to track points/think about food as points for the rest of my life.
  • I want to look at food in terms of nutrition rather than "ooh I have enough points left for a bag of crisps!"
  • I know how to do this lose weight business. I know what foods to eat more of and what to eat in moderation and I know what exercise I like.
  • SparkPeople is an amazing FREE resource that I look forward to checking daily. The WW site could get some tips off it.
  • It's time for me to step out of my comfort zone. Stop relying on the safety net of WW and continue this journey on my own two feet.
 I feel focused and excited! This weekend will be dedicated to getting myself organised and develop a plan that is perfect for me. The Sezzajp plan!

So Far, So Saintly...

Well maybe a slight exaggeration there but I am being quite good :)

Monday I completed level one of Shred (sweat much?!), Tuesday I started a new Zumba class (where only me and my friend turned up! Dedicated much?!), yesterday I admit I didn't do anything after work (ooh, thou aren't being saintly much?! ...eh?) and tonight I am currently in my gym gear waiting to go to the gym for my usual Zumba class tonight (Zumba fangirl much?!)

Still tracking every day as per usual. On that point, has anyone else seen all the talk about the new WW plan that is going to be introduced? Apparently it's this new Pro Points thing where the way points are calculated is going to change, to include carbohydrates as well as calories and saturated fat. Fruit and veg will all be free now. The new plan hasn't officially been launched but I checked out a link on the forums to a Dutch WW version which explained it - have a look (will need to translate page). What does everyone else think? Personally I think it's going to be initially hard to get used to but counting the amount of carbs can only be a good thing as I don't think WW takes that into consideration enough, the same with sugars and salt...

...anyways best get off here and get my bum down the gym! :)
