WW Week 25 Update!

I have overcome my plateau!!!! I lost 5 pounds this week!!!!!! I'm so excited. I didn't really do anything different, so I'm not sure what happened but I'm glad it did. I got another "+5 pounds" award! I am now on the next level down of points I can eat. YAY! I get 37 points per day to eat now along with 49 extra weekly points. When I workout I also get activity points which I can eat or not. They want you to eat all of your daily points, because if you don't eat enough your body holds onto the fat stores, but the weekly points you could either eat or not. Once you eat your daily points they start subtracting from your weekly points. I usually don't eat many of my weekly points at all. I think I only ate 10 of them last week and the majority of that was on the weekend. I hope I continue in this direction for the next several weeks (although I know I probably won't lose 5 pounds each week). I am pretty short on funds at the moment so I'm not sure what to do for my "5lb Challenge" reward, anyone have any ideas? Sunday is my 6 month mark on weight watchers! I will be sure to get a picture this month! I can't believe it's been half a year!

P.S. I walk/jogged once this week in addition to 3 zumba classes.

WW Week 13 Update!

I lost 2 pounds this week! That's 2 weeks in a row that I've still been able lose weight while hanging out with Kayla. I even got through 2 graduation parties and 2 birthday parties and still lost. The key for me is making sure I track and still follow my points amounts. So now I am all caught up and ready to lose new pounds! (and on a lower Daily Points Target)

 I've started walking to work to help save gas and get extra exercise. By walking to work, then to the Post Office from my office, then back to my office, then finally back home, I've walked 1 1/2 miles. And today I started Day 1 of my jogging plan. My goal is to be a jogger by the end of summer. Right now I am just starting out by going my usual 1 mile walking route and walking for 10 minutes as a warm up, then jogging until I feel like I can't jog anymore, then back to walking until I feel I can jog again. I just repeat the jogging and walking until I'm on the last block of my route then walk the remainder as a cool down. Today I was able to jog 3 sessions and did better than I thought I would. My goal is that once I can jog the entire time between my warm up and cool down to expand my route.

 Anyone have any ideas of whether I should try to jog every day or every other day, with walking or some other exercise in between? I'm really new to this and am not sure which is the best for my body.
