Why I Rejoined WW (Weight Watchers)

01/28/2020 by The Mama Maven

As I’ve mentioned before, focusing on making myself healthy is a real priority of mine. I take supplements and I exercise. However, I was eating healthyish – but not totally healthy and certainly not tracking what I was eating. While I do exercise, when I’m out of town, away from my gym, I didn’t do much other than normal walking around. 5000 steps a day is not enough, 10,000 is much better. So, being a total cliche’, I started getting on track after the new year. I hate to call it a resolution, but if I had to, yes, I would call it that. I needed changes in my daily life. I needed to see what I was eating and make better choices. And I did something that I knew I needed. I rejoined WW (formerly called Weight Watchers). Read on to find out my why and how you can get some great deals from WW.

Why I Rejoined WW (Weight Watchers) | The Mama Maven Blog

For me, WW works. It’s sensible and still lets me live my life. While I’ve been a member on and off since 1988, I just always come back to it. I’ve done meetings and I’ve done it online. I had success with it last year, but stopped once I started having a lot of symptoms for Gastroparesis in April. I had thought I was done being sick after my Gallbladder surgery in November of last year, but naw — Gastroparesis has not been fun. However, after working with my fabulous Gastroenterologist, Dr. Stephen Rubin, it’s under control now. As most people do, I feel even better when I am eating healthy and this fall I had gotten lazy with habits. While I still wasn’t going out and going crazy, I wasn’t putting the emphasis on my health. Tracking what I am actually eating helps me to see patterns and to know what portion sizes work for me.

Right now I’d doing the pure digital version. I love the app and the fact that I can scan barcodes to see what a food’s points are.

I’ve committed to six months to be a WW member and I’m hoping I can use this time to be healthier and make good eating choices. I’m happy to report I am already losing weight and feeling much better. The struggle to lose weight after 40 is real, but with WW, it’s doable and something I can easily keep up with.

eggs, cheese, blueberries

Breakfast is often a struggle, as three days a week I take my daughter to school around 30 minutes away. I have to go take her and then come back, which means roundtrip is 30 minute train ride there and then I take an hour long bus ride home (it’s easier). To set myself up for success, I pack either hard boiled eggs, a cheese stick or two (1 SP for each light cheese stick) and blueberries). Or I can pack a breakfast sandwich with Joseph’s Flax, Oatbran, and Whole Wheat Pita Bread (1 SP), light swiss cheese (2 or 3 SP, depending on if I have one or two slices), and deli turkey (either 1 or 0 sp depending on the brand). I add a little mustard and it’s delicious.

Here are some of the snacks and meals that I’ve eaten:

Hardboiled Eggs
Hardboiled Eggs with Everything Bagel Spice (0 SP)
Banana Pancake (0 SP)
Salad with Chicken
Chili Lime Chicken Burger and Veggies
Chicken and grilled veggies
Lox Sandwich
