Tiff's Update

So I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting yesterday and subsequently edited my stats on the prior post. The good news is that Adrienne and I should have updates on the same day, now. The bad news is that my weigh in was not great. Six pounds more than my last weigh in at Curves. Granted they are different scales and all that, but I don't think that's it. Anyway, I have a nice even number to start with now.

Have you ever noticed how expensive it is to get healthy? I'd imagine that at some point, maintaining healthy is cheaper, but getting there is a real pinch to the pocketbook. For example, I'm spending about $80 a month on my Weight Watchers and Curves memberships. I know that shopping is harder, too, because once you start watching labels food gets more expensive. Especially living alone. I just absolutely hate that. I read an article recently about the same problem for people who are using 'green' products, that to save the environment you've got to shell out extra dough. It sucks that it's so hard. Granted it makes sense... to eat/clean/live better they have to make your product with higher grade ingredients, making your grocery bill higher. However, as a girl barely making her payments for rent and her rapidly swelling medical bills, it's hard to spend too much in that checkout line.

Off that soap box, here's my goal this week. I've already missed 2 days at Curves, so I have to go today, tomorrow and Friday because I can't make their 8-10 hours on Saturday. I'm also going to try to stay well within my points this first week and try to get some stuff kick started. I'll update you on how it goes!!
