Weight Watchers Update

I figured I'd post an update on my Weight Watcher's progress. From my original blog post, I joined on May 12. Since that time, I've taken a couple of trips, been through Memorial Day, spent a couple of weekends at my in-laws' to save gas on the 14 mile drive back and forth, and have been through some other situations that led me to slip up. So, how am I doing?
Honestly, I'm doing better than I thought. I went on the Flex plan, which allows points for everything you eat. I haven't been very good at bothering to calculate my points, but I have been trying to pay more attention to portion sizes and avoid snacks. Since my wife is on Weight Watcher's Core plan, she does the cooking. For the most part, she's been making some pretty interesting foods and I normally take my lunch from our leftovers, although she did buy a few frozen Weight Watcher's dinners for those days when I have no leftover, which is the easiest time for me to slip.
I've lost about 8.5 pounds over the last month. That's not bad considering that I haven't been trying all that hard. I've slipped several times. I still enjoy treats like ice cream and cold beer occasionally. I've had burgers, pizza, and cheesesteaks. However, since I've started to see results, I've starting taking things much more seriously. There is nothing like a result to encourage you to work harder.
