Friday Five Was No Good

Written on Monday, August 25th, 2008 @ 8:39am

Alrighty, so despite my rant last month, I ended up caving in and buying an iPhone. Not only did I get one for myself, but I let Joshua in on the magic thus exempting me from paying any bills whatsoever until I get a new car. I got it for the phone features rather than the iPod/music features so I’m still using my regular iPod. I’m pretty impressed so far, especially with the applications. Thanks to Melissa, she directed me to an application called iPoints which allows me to calculate Weight Watcher points; it even logs it for you! I’ll make sure to share it at my meeting this week.

My second meeting is on Wednesday which means my first week of being on the Weight Watchers program is almost up. It has been a bit tough mainly because my body is getting used to feeling a little hungry instead of insanely full after eating. After counting points, I’ve begun to realize just how bad my eating habits were. Friday night I went to Applebee’s with Joshua because I knew they had a Weight Watchers menu; however I was so hungry (I hadn’t eaten since noon and it was 8pm when we got there) I was afraid whatever WW item I chose wouldn’t be enough. I ordered the Tortilla Chicken Melt which was only 10 points and it filled me. Knowing that I’m in the process of training my stomach and I was able to get full from a rather small meal has given me the confidence not to over indulge. This week I am going to try the Core Plan and see how that goes.

This week begins another one of school. I am suppose to start my “How to Study Effectively” class tomorrow, but I decided to drop it due to the fact it is beyond complicated to get to that side of campus plus I’d be missing class due to appointments. I admit it would be a handy class, but I just don’t have the time. I dropped it early so it won’t hurt me in any way, and I’ll get my money back.

Today I get to make a small speech about how I am like my iPod and then be mildly entertained by my Stats teacher. Then I have to exchange my iPhone cover - I got one that was for the iTouch so naturally it blocks a few of my buttons and my camera. It’s a busy day, haha. Now I have to actually go get ready for it. Ta!

I have become slightly tempted to join Weight Watchers. I don’t think it’s really necessary but I guess I could check their idea. :D My eating habits could be better…

I wish you luck with WW

iPhonez ROCK! People who think they are overrated are overrated themselves. :P It’s such a useful and fun gadget…I use every one of its features so it’s already paid for itself over and over. :D

Weight Watchers is AWWWEEESOME! :D I lub them! Not to mention how I feel a bit less like a hermit now when I go to meetings, LOL. XD Hope you have a good meeting this week! Tell me how it goes for you on the Core plan. I’ve enjoyed the Flex plan enough so far but have been thinking about trying Core for a week.

Hmm, Weight Watchers sounds…oddly appealing. Keep us posted on how it goes, you might inspire some people. :P
