Moved and now settled in

I moved 2 weeks ago, so weight watching was shoved into my background and ignored thanks to moving stress, renovation stress and baby stress. Now that the renovation and moving stress are gone I can now reconsecrate on my weight watching.
Today I restart. I over did it a tad at breakfast with the raisin bread french toast, no sirup or sugar. So now for the rest of the day I have to watch my breads/starch. For lunch I will make a nice vegetable soup. Dinner is yet unknown. I haven't sat down to do my planning yet. I am still unpacking boxes so I haven't found all my planning tools and cookbooks yet. My kitchen is also 1/3 of what I used to have and I have no office or dinning room anymore. We shrunk to about half the apartment size. For that I am saving 300,- Euros in rent, gas and utilities.
I did find my weight watching box already though. All my vintage and retro WW things are in there. Last night I looked threw things as I put them away and the 1996 WW caught my eye. That was the first time I joined WW myself. I spent 10,- DM a week, got weighed in, we had a good meeting with loads of useful information and recipes, then the awards and went home happy and motivated.
Today when I go to my meeting, I spend 40,-€ a month, get weighed in, we have a meeting with peep talks, get bombed with the advantages of the newest gadget the fit bit, awards are given and I go home feeling like I've been in a commercial. Hardly any new recipes, you get told that this WW product is super, and that it needed to lose weight, all things that are made from the coaches are with the fixes and mixes, and it seems to me that according to the coach you can not lose weight if you don't use the WW products and gadgets.

I wish the meetings where more like the 1990's.
