Feel like I am cheating

I know I'm not, but WW encourages you to eat all your points. Well I gained last week and really did not have a reason for it so this week I am eating less than my points. I am actually staying about 10-8 points less than what I am suppose to have. And I am seeing some results. I know they say not to weigh everyday, but because I can gain 5lbs in one day based off the wrong food I have to weigh everyday so that I can learn what foods are the "bad" foods. Of course we will have to see what Saturday brings.

I hope everyone has made it to hump day in good health and high spirts.

Biggest Loser - inspiration

Over the past months I have learned how PCOS really makes me different. I cannot just work out 30 minutes a day 3-4 days a week. Nope I have to work out 6 days a week and only one or two of those days can be for 30 minutes. The rest better be an hour or more or I am not going to lose. Let me tell you that is a hard concept to grab, but I think I have got it - I hope. :-) So every Tuesday I do two things. I get in my resitance training with the biggest loser power sculpt - I hate resitance training! :-) That is about 25-30 minutes. Then I flip on my tv to biggest loser families and jump on my eliptical and work my way through 3-4 programs. See on Tuesdays Biggest Loser Families is on tv for 2 hours. It gets my week off to the right start - but at the same time it is not Monday's which is just a tough day for me.
I also am in a weight loss challenge with 3 of my friends from work. We weigh in each Friday with the challenge ending Dec. 31. That gives me the support at work to keep on track. 3 friends that are there to run to instead of running to the vending machine - .. and they are always good for a hearty laugh.
Well life is going good - this past Saturday I lost 2.3 pounds, for an official 15.3 total loss!!!
Thank you for all your support - it really is a big help, especially on the days where I think this PCOS stuff really sucks. :-)
