Saturday was another full day! It started off with 9:00 am Bootcamp! I am really liking this whole class thing. Class in the morning gets it done first thing, and a scheduled class in the evening allows me to do what I need to do during the day without feeling like I’m procrastinating about my exercise. I came home and made a nice size, but small PPV breakfast. I tried this new bread from Trader Joe’s that was recommended in my WW meeting. 1 piece is 1 PPV. Highly recommended. Very dense and full of flavor! Scrambled Egg Whites, Toast with Better N Peanut Butter, watermelon and coffee. 3 PPV. After breakfast, Tess and I had another full day planned. Next thing on the list was taking the dogs to the groomer. They LOVED their car ride. It was hilarious! This doesn’t look safe, I know. But we weren’t going […]

I started off my day at my WW meeting with my Starbuck’s Nonfat Misto (2 PPV). My weigh-in went as expected…..I messed up again, but at least my mess ups are barely in the 170’s. I know I’ll be here a bit, in the 160’s that is. It just seems to be what I do! Let’s remember……I’m really really good at maintenance! I’ll be 160 something next Friday. July really is crazy with so many things on the calendar. I am debating right now if maybe a plan to maintain until August 1st isn’t such a terrible idea? I don’t think my WW Leader will agree with me on this?? After my meeting, my daughter Tess was coming in town for the weekend, so I met her back at the house. Before we left the house, we ate a little fruit. Banana, strawberries and some watermelon. This was the sweetest […]

I found this recipe on Pinterest a while back and have made it four or five times now. I try to make a recipe exactly as it is the first time. Then after that, I tend to tweak it a bit. This time around I filled 5 of these with Chicken, as the recipe calls for, and the other 5 With Ground Turkey Taco Meat (my favorite). Instead of using the suggested Shredded Monterey Jack cheese, I used shredded Pepper Jack, the full fat kind. YOWZA!! These were tasty! I had just a few baked chips, salsa and Wholly Guacamole on the side, with a Zero PPV Crystal Light Margarita. Super Satisfying! It doesn’t look so big on this plate, but it was! You certainly have to measure out all of your meat and cheese, but the extra effort to do so, and knowing exactly what you are eating, is […]

I tried these this week, along with a few other sweets! Egads….I was having a moment. I like them, but I do think I like the WW Fudge Giant Fudge Bar (3 PPV) better. This was good, but the WW fudge bar taste much creamier to me. TCBY (2 PPV) “love the life you live, live the life you love”

No, this has absolutely nothing to do with what I ate today, how hard I worked out (80 minutes on the treadmill this morning…thank you very much!) what recipe I found, what the scale said this morning (it wasn’t pretty), or how much water I drank. Today……I became much more educated in my blogging world and I am Super Duper Excited! This whole computer stuff is kinda a big deal. There’s a lot of stuff to know! The reason I began to blog initially was so I could journal my weight loss experience and share it with other WW Members when I got to goal. Well, along the way, I decided to share it during the journey, instead of at the end of the journey, and I am glad I did. The extra support has been great! One of the things I really wanted to provide on my blog, aside […]

I am going to blame the following blog on dealing with a once a month event. Yip, I’m calling it an “event”. Here I go sabotaging my success! Something bad happened yesterday about 2:00 pm that involved carbs and sugar. I can’t really explain it. I was thinking about the junior vanilla cone at McDonalds (2 PPV?) that was discussed in Fridays WW meeting, and I ended up with this……. An Orange Leaf, Low Fat, Red Velvet Cake flavored, (yogurt or ice cream? I don’t even know) topped with a variety of NOT nonfat toppings! Sometimes, when I have a sweet craving, eating a sweet treat only makes me want more! I had a few low fat graham crackers at home later, then LATER later a couple of WW Mini Ice Cream Cones. Just not one of my better weeks! I still hit Bootcamp at 6:30 am this morning! Yesterday’s […]

Today was a little busy crazy constant…..in my physical schedule and in my head. Lots to do at home this morning……trying to leave the house before noon, then a busy afternoon ending with a 6:00 pm Bootcamp, which I came soooooo close to skipping! Here’s breakfast….. 5 PPV of yumminess with a couple of cups of Jo…… Then things just got outta hand. My first problem is that I need to go to the store, but with going to the lake and all the fun we had over the weekend……WHO’S HAD TIME FOR RESPONSIBILITIES??? Canned chicken for lunch…gross. 5 PPV This pita was nice and fresh though…..probably make a good snack later? Snack later…(left over lake crackers…..I never buy crackers anymore)…….4 PPVBut they are the HEALTHY crackers! Then I had some hummus and the other half of that Pita…..crap! 4 PPVIt was really, really good. The pita was so fresh […]

Had a great time at the country bar…..”Kanza Hall”. As predicted…..good people watching. All ages, all types! The bathroom stalls were all chalkboard, with supplied CHALK! I couldn’t help myself! This is my girlfriend, Laura’s, cell number! Hee Hee……I know….I can be such a trouble maker! Well then…….I did this…… When I got up in the morning, I knew there was a possibility of a Lake Day ahead, so I hopped on the treadmill before I even thought about breakfast! I started out slow, as usual……..Then upped it to 3.8 mph and an incline of 8%, which got the heart rate up pretty good. I had planned on a good 20 minutes, then decided 30 was more what I needed, then stayed on for 40……Yay! Maybe I can sneak in one beer at the Lake?? After the treadmill, I knew hot eggs did NOT sound good, so I opted for […]

We went out with some friends to dinner last night, then to a new Country bar for a couple of beers and some people watching and maybe a little line dancing…. Before dinner, I tried one of these at home. Bud Light Lime Lime-A-Rita? The only nutritional info I can find is calories and carbs, so I am guessing on the points. I called it 6? It was pretty damn good! We went to Gordon Biersch for dinner. The have lots of outside seating, and nice selection of their own beers, and the weather was perfect for dinner on a patio. I settled in and ordered a beer, then read the entire menu! We ALL did. They have a lot of selections and we were ALL starving! I finally decided on the Lobster and Shrimp Taco’s. I know, right? I learned that all of their tacos are served in a […]
