A Brand New Month, A Brand New Attitude

I'm feeling a lot better this morning, mentally.  I wrote about my plans to count points on my sparkpeople blog, and got some positive comments.

So, this is how it boils down:
I get 18 points a day with 35 points of  weekly allowance to spend however I may need. I usually divide it into 7 days, and aim for 18-23 points a day. I'm also allowed to use any activity points that I earn, (I have a WW's pedometer) I have always tried not to use them, because it seems (to me) that it defeats the purpose of my workout, but I will use them "only" if absolutely necessary. LOL!

I used to frequent the web site, Fat Secret, you could track your calories or points there for free, however, I went back to it this morning and they have taken out the points option:(

"But" I have my handy dandy notebook and a hand held points calculator, so I will be all right! There is no way that I can afford to subscribe to Weight Watchers Online, yet, not until I make a dent in my credit card bills. For now, the notebook will have to be enough.

It's a brand new month, and the unofficial last month of summer. I aim to make this month a healthy, on track month.

My July review. Only two days off plan, not bad.

Today's intentions:

Upper body workout.
Wash son's clothes.
Cook.
Read.

I will post my total later on.

A good day today, food-wise, but no workout. Total for today: 18 points.
