Well, I’ve joined Weight Watchers online. Again. Hubby has been really helpful this time — probably more than ever before. Last night, we talked over how I’d been doing, points-wise, the last few days. That’s very unusual for him, as he usually is pretty uninterested.

Today was actually my first weekly weigh-in. I didn’t lose anything, but, I also didn’t gain, despite attendance at a business conference which was awash with delicious, free, free-flowing food. So, I’m feeling pretty positive. I get tons of points as a serious fatty, which makes things easier, as well. My treadmill is repaired (though my son wails every time I turn it on). One step at a time.

I am loving my new pressure cooker. I feel like a total cooking nerd for even mentioning it. Every time I’ve mentioned it in passing to my real world friends, I get quizzical looks, even though I honestly think pressure cooking is the next big trend. It lets me cook much more economically and healthily, and quickly. Beans and lentils and rice and tougher cuts of meat — all cook well and much more quickly in the pressure cooker. (For anyone not turned off by this talk, check out Miss Vickie’s site — the pressure cooker bible.)

1. Cooking/eating more vegetarian, especially beans/legumes & veggies.
   
2. Paying more attention to portion sizes and my own satiety.
   
3. Drinking more coffee. (No milk. No sugar.)
   
4. Investigating things like a pressure cooker which will make cooking faster/easier.
   

And NOT doing…

1. So far, no exercise.
   

One thing at a time, I suppose. One good sign is that I’m hungrier, which means I’m eating a little less and waiting for hunger before eating.
