And I'm Off!

Well, Thursday finally arrived and I was ready. I didn’t want to be late so I kept a close watch on the time. 5:20 pm arrived and I was off.
The basement of the synagogue looked familiar, chairs in a circle and the fans blowing. I was prepared for the stifling heat but surprisingly the fans were working and the place was cool. As I approached the sign in desk, I observed that I didn’t see anyone who liked they were the group leader. My suspicions were confirmed when the receptionist told me that the group leader could not make the meeting. She wanted to know if I wanted to sign up now or wait until next week. I told her now was the time. Then she called over a member and asked her if she would walk me through the program. Next week when the lecturer returns I’ll stay for the formal welcome and walk through.
As Cathy took me through the plan I noticed that the Points program had been refined and looked a lot easier than I remembered before. I was excited and saw that I had a food diary I had to keep in order to keep track of my points. Okay so now I had a little writing and a little math, I’m good.
So now that I’ve weighted in here are the vitals and my immediate goal. Weight: 273 lbs goal -27 pounds. My daily point count is 32 and I have 35 points that I can spread out during the week. I know one thing I will really have to work at squeezing in 6 glasses of water and all the vegetables and fruits that are required. I guess I better have a V8. No, I’m not complaining, just saying it’s going to be interesting trying to work this all in. This is the reason why I decided to start this program during the summer, so that by the time school is back in session I can be well on my way with the routine.
