Happy Valentines Day!

I hope you are all having a great Saturday morning. I’m feeling unusually spunky. I was in bed and asleep by 11:00 last night and I slept until 9:00 am!! Best night of sleep in several days!

I woke up to Roses and a super sweet card. Mike has always had a knack for picking out the perfect card!

Our Valentine’s date tonight will be a quiet night at home with a Papa Murphy’s Delight Pizza and a bottle of wine….that we will share….responsibly….I swear! 🙂

 

I was feeling hopeful as I headed out the door to my WW meeting yesterday morning.

I walked in the door and did the whole routine. Pee. Alway’s pee first. Remove coat, remove shoes, remove jewelry, remove glasses, exhale, step on the scale.

Down 1.2. Yay!!

2 more pounds off by the end of the month would be great!

We talked a lot about Points and tracking at yesterday’s meeting. If you are not weighing fresh food, or eating a prepackaged food, it can be hard to figure out the exact points on a particular food item. I guess a lot. When I’m guessing, I try to guess high to be safe. I actually did a lot of guessing yesterday. 

Here are yesterday’s eats to start off my Weight Watcher week!

 

Breakfast

Weight Watcher Snack, Nonfat Latte, Fruit

5 PPV

Guessed on points on this whole meal!

Snack

Apple Chips (One Bag, Two Servings)

6 PPV

I like these a lot, but I’ll only buy one bag a week, or I would eat them every day.  Great tasting crunchy little snack!

Snack’s

Apple

0 PPV

I’ve had my share of movies this week! Last Saturday, I watched several movies, one of them being The Godfather. That was a 3 Hour Movie! One day this week, I watched The Godfather II. That movie was 3 hours and 20 minutes!! My butt’s a little numb.

Yesterday, I watched Magic Mike for the first time. Last night, Mike and I (actually just I, Mike fell asleep) watched Silver Linings with Bradley Cooper. I love that movie!!

Snack

Leftover Veggies

Red Onion, Sweet Potato, Zucchini

3 PPV

I cooked these veggies in oil the day before. I always guess high when I’m in doubt. I guessed on dinner too.

Um, somebody needs to file a thumb nail!! Gross!

Dinner

Chicken Breast Stuffed with Spinach and Ricotta Cheese

Gluten Free Brown Rice Pasta, Zoodles

Marinara Sauce, Parmesan Cheese

12 PPV

I bought the stuffed chicken breast at the grocery store, so dinner was super easy. Half of a serving of the chicken was plenty. I was craving pasta and I bought this Gluten Free pasta awhile back. There is a lot of zucchini in there, but it seems to be hidden under the pasta. Dinner satisfied all sorts of cravings and tasted great! This could be a 10 Point Dinner, but I’m being cautious. 🙂

  1. Thanks Pam. I have been wanting to eat like this for a while, but I will say, there is a lot more time involved in meal prep, I do think that it cost more, and I am constantly at the grocery store and in the kitchen! 🙂

    But I also think I’m not having cravings because the taste buds all seem satisfied and I don’t feel hungry often.

    I had JUST walked in the door with a Papa Murphy’s Pizza and TWO gigantic chocolate truffles when I read your comment! I decided to look up the points for a chocolate truffle, then I weighed it. I am so glad that I did that instead of just eating the whole thing!

    Hope you guys enjoyed your night at home!

    Have a great week!

  2. Thanks Nancy!

    I know I am one of those people that eat’s WAY too fast. I always have. My mom would tell me all the time, still does. When I am reminded of it.(asa topic at a meeting, not by my mom) I do try to pay attention and remind myself to slow down and enjoy my food.

    After reading your comment yesterday, I totally slowed down and enjoyed every bite of dinner last night, so THANK YOU!!

    Have a Great Week!

  3. Beautiful roses. Have a super fun valentines night. We’re home too. Lots of eating out last two weeks…not good. I’m really impressed with your goals and guidelines you set for yourself and then achieve. How you’re eating is where I want to be, but I’m not. Real whole food. Not much processed, boxed carbs. So healthy. I also notice you don’t eat sweets, I really need to be there! Keep up the good work and heal quickly!

  4. OK at my WW meeting today we talked about the need to slow down and enjoy every bite so we don’t over eat.
    I had lunch at Chipotle and realized after at least 10 bites I didn’t know what I had eaten so I put the cover on but still ate my chips ugh.
    I love their chips and can’t stop buying them.
    At least I have left overs for tomorrow.
    I am so glad you had a loss–you deserve it because you work hard at this!
