One week down...

So I've made it through my first week on WW. I didn't really eat according to plan, but did manage to eat better and keep my portions in check. The main problem was that I worked three days in a row at the mountain and though they provide lunch, it's not exactly Core.

Week two is starting off on a better note. I've used a few of my reserve points, but I feel much more in control and my cravings have about disappeared. I missed my meeting this week so I weighed in at home - at the same time as I would have in my meeting and in the same clothes. I was a full 2 lbs lighter than my initial weigh-in. :)

On another note, I had a meeting with my bosses this morning - after a nasty confrontation over the weekend it was time to clear the air. I was nervous but at peace at the same time. I had updated my resume in preparation for the worst case scenario, and I was ready to face whatever was thrown at me. That meeting would determine the course of my future with this company. Life is just too short to put up with meanness.

Well, I was pleasantly surprised to receive an apology first off. That set the tone - we were able to discuss issues in a productive way, and get some things out on the table that we needed to. So I'll put my resume away and see how the next few months go.

I think it's time to start a gratitude journal. One of my goals is to have a more positive attitude about things - to focus on the good instead of the bad. It's hard, but it does make a difference.

Today I'm grateful for:

(1) That my two almost-grownup kids can still have fun (at this moment they're playing the Guitar Hero that they got for Christmas from my mother-in-law, instead of doing homework)
(2) That I have an awesome husband who backs me up and keeps me sane on a daily basis
(3) That we have a roof over our head, money for the basics and a little more, and that we're healthy, happy, and we can laugh together - in the scope of things, we have everything that we really need, and everything that I've ever wanted.
