Week 2 - Lemme Break It Down For Ya

I am the first to admit this - I am bad at blogging. I will try to get better though! I lost 1.4 lbs the first week. Not a great start, but I'll take it!

My WW leader tells us to make the plan work for you. Here is how I make it work for me.

I don't count Points on weekends. It's sort of like my days off. I stick with single serving portions, but don't worry about writing everything down. This has worked well for me in the past, I hope it still works now!

To account for any flubs from not writing stuff down on weekends, I don't touch my 35 extra weekly Points during the week. I also rarely eat my activity Points, though that may likely change when my daily Points get down to the low-mid 20's and my activity increases.
