I had my weekly Weight Watchers meeting last night and weighed in for the first time, well the second weigh in but the first since the initial. I lost 3.2 pounds. I know the first week is mostly water weight and I'm ok with that. I actually ate a bit off plan over the weekend but I still tracked everything and accounted for everything.
I might change my WW day to Thursday. There was a sub leader yesterday and I really liked her. She normally leads the meetings on Thursdays so I may try to make those meetings. My mom is probably going to join too. It will be fun to do this with my mom. We went together the last time I did it and it was good to have her there for support. She has reached lifetime membership when I was a kid so WW really does work. I heard yesterday that if you stick to the plan and really make the lifestyle change then you will definitely see the results. If you only half way work the plan and make the lifestyle change then you will only see half of the results. I like that perspective.
I went out with some girl friends last night and wanted a drink drink so badly so I ordered a "skinny" martini type drink. Wasn't bad but don't know if it was really worth the calories. Oh well, the company was well worth the extra calories and it was super nice to get out with friends. I also stayed out too late and ended up sleeping in so I missed the chance to get my exercise in. It is way too hot here in Texas to get out and exercise past 8 am unless you can exercise indoors.
This morning I made a chocolate smoothie for breakfast. I bought a package of chocolate smoothie mix from the WW meeting. If you mix it with water it is worth 2 pts and if you mix it with a cup of fat free milk then it is 4 pts. I chose to do it with milk since it was my breakfast. I mixed the milk and packet first so the powder dissolved then I added a few frozen strawberries and ice. I blended it in my blender and it was YUMMY!! And it took me about an hour to finish it all. It filled a very tall glass. I can definitely see that as a staple for my busy mornings.
Next week is the start of school. My oldest is starting kindergarten and he has to be at school by about 7:20. That is freaking early for my house. My kids usually sleep in until 8ish so the thought of having everyone up and dressed, fed and out the door at 7 terrifies me. I have a friend that suggested making egg "muffins" and freeze them. Then all you need to do is reheat them in the oven in the morning. So, I figured I would give them a shot. I combined a dozen eggs (minus 1 yolk...I cracked it and it was bloody...YUCK!!), about 5 oz shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 pound cooked sausage. I poured them into greased muffin pans and cooked them for about 17 minutes at 350 degrees. They turned out pretty tasty. I calculated the points for me and they are 3 pts each. If you add more veggies you could really have more for the same amount of pts since they would make more. I might try adding spinach, onions, bell peppers. I figure they will be really good on an English muffin. The boys will love them in the morning just plain.
Hoping to get a good "before" picture taken this week. Is ther such a thing a good "before" picture??? lol I usually try to hind behind the camera and absolutely hate pictures taken of me. So I know that if I don't purposely take a picture I will have a hard time finding a "before" picture. I like the idea of taking weekly pictures in the same outfit. Kinda reminds me of pregnancy pictures... It will be nice to look back and truly see the progress.
