So I bit the bullet and went to my local class this evening. Myself and another lady were outside and there was no sign of life within. She just so happened to also be a new joiner so we were both a bit clueless. Did we get the wrong time, day?..........no I'm sure the day/time was correct.
After a little bit of detective work, Cagney and Lacey style, we found the class leaders. Turns out they were running a little behind schedule.
More people started to turn up now so myself and the other noobie started to feel a bit more at ease. We were joking that perhaps we should have done a legger. But no, we were determined to start.
The doors finally opened and we were granted access. We filled in the joining cards and got in line to pay. It's a bit steep at €10 a week (plus €10 joining fee) but if it gets me to where I want to be then I guess it's a small price.
Next we go into another room to be weighed. Hmm, this bit is not nice. It's never nice sharing your weight with someone else when you're not happy about it. I won't disclose my weight here but my point allowance was 30 for the day + 49 for the week. Wow, that seems like a lot. I couldn't wait to find out more about Pro Points.
Our leader was a stand in for that evening and she was very good. More's the pity she wouldn't be back next week but we'll see what the other leader will be like.She explained the pro point plan and I soon realised a lot of things had been pointed up! But, on the other end, fruit is 0 points (not free!) up to 5 portions in a day. That's pretty great. I like my fruit so that was a win win for me.
I bid farewell to my new found partner in crime and said I'd see her next week, a lighter me of course.
Operation last supper commenced and I had some of my favourite things knowing that tomorrow, if I wanted these again, I'd have to be within my points and work for them. That's ok.....hmmm.
Off to bed, it's a big day tomorrow.
