Okay, today is the day I start my water aerobics class. I really am kinda looking forward to this and hoping this activity will rev my metabolism up. I’ll let you all know how this went tomorrow. If this works out well and I get myself in a little better shape, my goal is to add two more days of a different exercise. We have a gym at our apts. so I would like to ride the stationary bike and treadmill and do some weight work on Thurs and Sat. depending on how busy that gym is. I didn’t really start back on my “better eating” (code for DIET) but they tell you not to say you are on a diet so I won’t. I was at my mom’s all weekend and for some reason was in a real nibbly mood. It wasn’t over the top but more than I should have had. The meals were good but it was the in between stuff. Today is Monday and I started off the morning with some NF yogurt and a WW bar. I brought an apple for a snack and then at lunch I will have a protein shake (I have to get in more protein and less carbs) and for dinner I am thinking a piece of broiled chicken and some spinch salad and some squash. This should bring me close to my 25-27 point alottment. I have to add it up and probably fit in a snack or something later. I hope you all had a nice weekend and that this week will be a good one :wave:

I wish I could figure out the point thing - do you have a book you refer to for everything?
I’ve been building that menu, and balancing carbs and proteins in every meal. The veggies are what I have a problem with, fresh veggies go to waste too fast. I have found a lot of protein rich foods, though. Ground turkey breast (turkey burgers are excellent and have about 22g protein and 4g fat), lowfat cottage cheese, turkey turkey turkey - lean turkey is higher in protein than chicken. I’ll try to finish up that menu plan this week so you can see!
