Starting my diet again

[judy]

I need to lose about 5 pounds, maybe 7, so I'm doing my usual Weight Watcher's with Subway heroes for dinner. I have been doing WW, but eating whatever I want
for dinner, in small portions. Now that it's bathing suit weather and dresses are in fashion this year, I decided to go back to the Subway hero dinner. Luckily, I'm not that fussy about having choices. As long as it tastes good, I can eat the same thing for weeks.

I have a pretty good diet. Breakfast is oatmeal, soy milk, WW bread/low fast peanut butter, 2 Stella Doro pieces of anisette toast. Lunch is a fat free muffin, and dinner will be 1/2 Subway hero. Snacks are chocolate cake after dinner. I have to have my chocolate! I need more fruits and veggies, so maybe I'll add them.

Believe it or not, I've been eating the same breakfast for about 5 years and the muffins for lunch for about 3 years. Dinner was the fun meal, but it got out of hand.
I also think retiring put on weight. Teaching requires moving around the classroom, you never sit down, and going from one room to another. I didn't realize that it was so much exercise.

The anisette toast is about 1 point each I think. Good luck. I love WW - it works for me.

Judy,

Good luck to you, sounds like you have a great plan. I have never been able to stick to a diet. Ever. I'm impressed that you have eaten the same breakfast and lunch for so long!

I just wanted to comment that I see you are a retired teacher? What grade? I just got my first job as a teacher starting this fall (I returned to school in 2006 and graduated May 19) and I'm really excited about it. BTW, my name is Judy too, lol. Of course, I'm getting a late start, but it's something I've always wanted to do.

I need to start again too Judy. I went shopping today with LynneB and I bought a couple of shirts. I am just too darn fat that's all there is to it!! I hate the way I look.

Good luck, Judy. It sounds like you know what you're doing to meet your goals.

I got a late start teaching too. I was in my 30's. I just retired in November and am loving it, but I really loved teaching. I finished up the last 13-14 years teaching high school science. I started with kindergarten and lasted 1 month! Then I worked my way through drop-out prevention, middle school and then high school.

What are you going to teach? Congratulations on your graduation, by the way. If you need any advice or someone to bounce ideas off of, please pm me. The one piece of advice I will share with you now is to find something to love in each child, and to focus on that. It makes the day so pleasant!
