Tried a new recipe today. Zucchini boats. They were Delish and only 7pts+ for two!
They must have been good because I don't think Dan noticed they were healthy! Lol.
I bought a Hamilton Beach single serving blender that blends right in to a travel cup for $16 at Walmart today. Should be perfect for smoothies before work. I am excited to try it tomorrow!
I struggled a little bit yesterday. I was at my parents house for most of the day helping out. At my house I have no junk food but there it was right in front of me and I picked at it on and off throughout today. Clearly I need to work on my self control!
Oh well. I got groceries today and my house is full of delish healthy food!
I did take my before pics but Only just had the courage to put them up. They are horrific. Oh well, guess that's a part of why I am doing this!
Weigh in #1 01/25/14
I only sarted Wednesday but as I know Saturdys are going to be my weigh in day every week, I might as well get started. Down 1.8! Woohoo! It's a small early victory but I am happy!
It has only been a couple days so I'm trying not to be overly excited as the scale can fluctuate from day to day, but I'll take it!
Because I am doing Weight Watchers I thought I would explain the program a little. It is a points based program. Every food is awarded a points value based on fat, fiber, protein, and carbs. Fruit and veggies are 0pts. You get a set amount of points per day based on age and weight. Plus an additional weekly allowance of 49 Pts regardless of weight. It is optional if you use these.
I get 35 Pts a day. You can eat almost anything but if you go for a Big Mac (14pts) you wont have many points left to use for the rest of the day.
Activity earns you addition points that are optional to use. There are also daily health checks: 6 water 3 dairy 5 fruit or veg 1 multivitamin and 2 oils.
Dan is already complaining that there is no junk food in the house lol. I made a shopping list today and found lots of great recipes on Pinterest I cant wait to try out!
Before pics coming soon!
