Weight Watchers
Over the last several days, I have been receiving Weight Watcher Employee emails and phone calls, and I am starting to feel the reality of becoming a Weight Watcher Leader. It’s been a long road to this part of my journey, and I am so excited to finally be moving forward.
Friday was my first official paid day in the office! Ha! I was giddy like a kid on the first day of school. I planned my outfit. I woke up early with excitement to start something new. I ate a good breakfast and I left the house a good 20 minutes early just to be certain that I wouldn’t be late.
I did some shadowing at a Weight Watcher Meeting where I met some great co-workers (Guys…I have Weight Watcher co-workers….cuz I’m an employee!!) and I also met some great Weight Watcher members. It was the perfect first day!
I received my training packet yesterday, so next week I should keep pretty busy going through it all and beginning my online training! After shadowing for just one meeting, and looking through my packet, I know that I have a lot to learn. You guys, I’m official!
Yes, I did take my picture.

Yoga
After a hot day in the food truck on Wednesday, I got in a Hot Yoga class on Wednesday night. That was kind of ridiculous considering that it was crazy hot outside and I don’t think that my body needed any more heat! I woke up with a headache on Thursday and I’ll assume I was a bit dehydrated. Zen wasn’t really at all what I was feeling, but it is nice to be back at the Yoga Studio.
Avocado’s
I really like to smash up Avocado’s and add a little lime juice and sea salt. I would eat them prepared that way on just about anything. However, my new favorite way to eat them is to simply slice them as thin as possible and spread them all over the top of whatever they sound good on. You would be surprised at how far you can get 2 SmartPoints of Avocado to go when you slice it super thin!
Here are yesterday’s eats…
Breakfast – 5 SP
5 Scrambled Egg Whites, Thinly Sliced Avocado, Banana and Strawberry Slices with 2 tsp Almond Butter
Lunch – 5 SP
Chopped Salad. Greens, Grilled Chicken, Apple, Red Onion, Bell Pepper, Thinly Sliced Avocado, 1 tsp Olive Oil, 1 T. Balsamic Vinegar
Happy Hour – 17 SP
Two Beers, Cheese and Crackers
Dinner – 10 SP
Caulirice, Turkey Taco Meat, Home Grown Tomatoes (not my home), Smashed Avocado (Avocado’s with every meal!) and Roasted Plantains
These are my 2016 Goals
Make time each week to Meal Plan
Drink 100 ounces of water each day
Exercise 5 days a week
Three Meals and One Snack, Daily
I can eat 30 SmartPoints a day.
I have an allowance of 35 extra Weekly Points that I can dip into throughout the week if I choose.

Kendra,
What a sweet comment to read. I can’t wait to get my own meeting and get started!
Thank you for telling me how I’ve been able to help you. I hoped that by blogging about my struggles and my successes that I would be able to help someone, and I’m so glad that I was able to do that for you. You have no idea how much knowing that means to me.
Can’t wait to share what goes on in the meeting room!
Have a Happy and Healthy Week!

Hi Julie! Congratulations on becoming a WW instructor! That is so awesome! Your group is so lucky to have you as you are so inspiring and always so positive! Your blog has helped me so much, not only do I love your creativity with food but more importantly it has helped me address my own issues with food and how I use it to cope with all kinds of emotions.
