Another week, another attempt, another method to try. This time, it's the Wendie Plan. I've been following along over at Yvonne's, and after reading the article over at the Donut, I think I'm ready to give it a shot. The biggest draw for me was that my 39-point day falls on Saturday. It's almost like having free weekends! It means going back to counting points, but I'm cool with that. I've renewed my subscription to WW online, and I'm ready to go.
So anyway, here are the point targets I'm shooting for on each day:
Wednesday: 24
Thursday: 29
Friday: 25
Saturday: 39
Sunday: 24
Monday: 28
Tuesday: 26
I'm also still trying for some sort of exercise 5 days per week. Activity points don't factor into the Wendie Plan at all, but I am happy to see that Thursday is a sort-of high day as well...I can use the energy for the evening sculpting class.
Let's see how this goes.

*I don't like the texture of the egg beaters by themselves. They're sort of...slippery. Adding a real egg solves that problem, and only adds 1 point.

Posted by Joy at March 3, 2004 08:22 AMI'm doing the Wendie plan also. I find it so much easier to do than the Flex Points! And I'm with you - my Saturdays are also my Super High Points day. Love it, just love it!! Good luck!
