Changes

I'm changing my routine and approach a little. Well, a lot actually. I just canceled my Weight Watchers membership. I still love the program and believe in the program and may even start back in a few months, but for right now, it is just a waste of money. I haven't been to meetings in a while and I am starting something different that I would rather put the money towards.

I mentioned the new program I signed up for last week. It is being run by a local running store and it is geared towards people that have 50lbs or more to lose. They have workouts 3 times a week and then a speaker once a week before the Saturday workout. The workouts include a lot of walking but also drills to help improve your walking and running. I think it is going to be a good addition to the Galloway plan. I am not going to be doing the Saturday workouts because I will be doing the long runs for the training program on those days but the drills on the other days should be great.

I also mentioned that as part of it, we get a discount from a local food service. I went in today for my consultation and I think it is  going to be great. They really work with you on helping you to learn what to eat, when to it and how to cook it yourself. I will start out getting most of my meals from them and then gradually start making some of ti on my own. I will probably continue to grab a few meals a week from there because it is so much easier than cooking for one. The girl I spoke with was really awesome and very committed to helping me reach my goals.

They are one of the main reasons I canceled my membership. While I am following their meal plan, I won't need to count my points. She already knows my daily points and is going to plan my meals accordingly. That is why I say I may rejoin. Once I am adding in my own stuff, I may need to track more but until then, I'm ok. I also don't want to deal with the weigh-ins for a while. I weigh myself at home every week. I don't need to have someone tell me that I'm doing something wrong when the numbers don't change. I have had to many times when the numbers stood still but my clothes fell off. I know that my measurements are going to tell me way more than the scale is most of the time so I am going to be tracking those more.

I'm excited. I'm a little nervous about it all but I really feel like this is going to be a great change.
