Exercise!

Those of you unfamiliar with the Weight Watchers program won’t be familiar with the idea of exercise Points. The concept is straight-forward though: physical activities are given a certain number of Points. One’s goal is to get as many activity Points in a week as they can, depending on their fitness level. I had been lucky to get 3-4 Points a week up until recently. For as fat and out-of-shape as I was when I started, I thought that was pretty good.

I’ve slowly been ramping myself up since then. Getting into an exercise routine has helped immensely. In the previous week, I pulled in 8 activity Points. Last week, I broke an all-time personal record for myself by logging 16 activity Points.

So far this week, I have 10!

Yeah, that is good stuff.
