YAY!

They say, when it rains it pours. But there is ALWAYS a sunny day ahead.
I have come to realize my attitude is up to ME. Not anyone else. I can choose to be happy, grouchy, mean, or down.
But I have come to find out that most of my happiness and joy comes from when I chose to be happy. It is MY choice.
Weight watchers has been a HUGE success so far. I have lost 10 pounds. I switched my school schedule to mornings. i dont know why I didnt do this like, a year ago. It's so much easier, and actually feels like school. and the best part, I have a REASON to go. mostly because there is nothing else to do. I could sleep, but who needs that?
Haha.
I leave for Florida in 6 days. and am SO nervous. and tired and stressed and ugh. I dont know where to start.. but it will be fine, this will all work out =)

food

I started weight watchers on monday and have been doing very well! it's fun shopping for low point food.
my goal is 70 pounds by this time next year.
if I hit the goal sooner.. GREAT! but I am giving myself a full year to loose the weight.
The lunch I fixed for my self today was AMAZING, and very filling.
Chicken and spinach salad
1 small chicken breast, grilled or baked.
1 cup of fresh baby spinach.
1/4 cup green peas, steamed or boiled
1/4 cup carrots, cold or steamed
1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 broccoli, steamed or cold
1/4 cup grilled onions
1/4 fresh mango

combine all ingredients in one bowl and ENJOY!

It is very very good. and best of all... only 3 points, and its a BIG bowl.
if you have any other neat recipes for weightwatchers.. let me know!
