Happy Monday, ya'll!
This girl is TIRED.
Our weekend started out lazy, but turned crazy.
One of Corby's clients had a massive heart attack on Friday and is basically on life support now. I don't know this family very well, but Corby does everything for them so this has been hard on him.
Corby had a blowout on Friday and his spare isn't the same size as his massive truck tires, so he had my truck all weekend driving back and forth to the hospital and running errands. And I've been stuck at home all weekend without a vehicle. So what did I do? I read. Two books in less than 24 hours.
Slammed and Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover
It's a two book series and I couldn't put them down!
You can read the book description here.
Also, I joined Weight Watchers yesterday.
I am excited, nervous, and terrified all at the same time.
I'm tired of gaining weight. And I'm tired of seeing pictures of myself a realizing I look like a whale. So I'm doing something about it. I'm doing WW Online. I don't have time to go to a meeting every week.
I'm still trying to figure everything out, but today is my first day keeping track of points.
Corby and I are going to start working out 3-4 days a week. Ideally, 3 days during the week and one day on the weekend. We got up at 5:30 this morning and hit the gym. I completed day one of the Couch to 5K program. I honestly have no desire to run a 5K, but it's place to start.
Here's some various workouts that I plan to try:
And, I am going to regularly post my weekly meal plans. I know it's not the most interesting thing to blog about, but it will help to keep me accountable.
Here's this weeks meal plan:
Monday: Tilapia, Broccoli & Red Potatoes (5 points)
Tuesday: Herb Crusted Pork Chops (5 points)
Wednesday: Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats (4 points)
Thursday: Grilled Chicken Bruschetta (6 points)
Friday: Chicken and White Bean Enchiladas (5 points)
Saturday: Shrimp and Zucchini Pasta (9 points)
So that's where I stand as of today.
Any words of advice for Weight Watchers are greatly appreciated!
{I feel like this was the longest post ever. Sorry!}
Hope your weekend was fabulous!!

Girl, I have all of those workouts pinned forever and I have never done them, gaw, I'm so lazy! Good luck with weight watchers, I have heard great success stories!
YAY!!! We can do it!! =) So happy you joined!
And these recipes look delicous!! I am going to have to print these and start making them. I am having a little trouble with lunch I have noticed. I am not a huge salad fan so I am having to get creative to keep the points down. I am doing the Couch to 5k plan too!! Whohooo!
Cute blog – love your colors! I am a new follower from the Texas Bloggers Group.
I will be praying for Corby’s friend. I hope for a full and safe recovery.
Good luck with your weight watchers journey. You can do it!

Get it girl! You've got this. Seriously. don't be scared and let me know if you want any workout tips!!!
Good for you, girl!!
Couch to 5k is awesome, even if you aren't running a race but it may be a good motivator!! I am doing my very last day of it tonight and running a 5k this weekend! It works!
I'm so sorry it was crazy for y'all! I'm doing the couch to 5K and Weight Watchers too!! :) Those recipies look yummy:))
ALLLLLL of that food looks AMAZING!
I happen to think your meal plans are very interesting :-) Call me a nerd lol but i look forward to planning our meals each week!! Good job for getting up on the first day to work out that early. I have a few friends from work that have been very successful with WW!!
Go girl!! You are goig to rock the WW and the C25K. I started my working out with C25K and now I run all the time. You might just learn to love it!!! So proud of you :)
You can do it Lia!!! I did WW a couple years ago and when I stuck to my points, I definitely noticed a weight loss each week. I just absolutely HATED counting, so I stopped. It definitely puts portion sizes into perspective though!
Get it Girl!! Your gonna do great! You should def run across the street on the Trinity River.. I used to take my pups every morning and its gorg!
Good plan girlfriend! This looks awesome!! I just started my life change (WW) last week and am already feeling better!!
You will do great! Just stick with it!! You'll learn really quickly about the points and what is good to eat and whats bad! The first week was the hardest for me becuase I had to learn all of that!!
Good Luck girlfriend!! And just for encouragement! Ive only been doing it for a week and a half and Ive already lost 6 lbs.
