I did my 4th weigh-in this morning and I am down another pound! I was worried I wasn't going to see a loss this week (I do weigh myself more than once a week, to get a feel for how things are going, but my *official* weigh-in day is Wednesday)... I haven't been all that hungry, and not using all my daily points. In fact, I rarely want food. I crave smoothies made from fat free chocolate milk, peanut butter and banana
all. the. time. I could live on that. I was also feeling quite bloated most of the time (not sure why). But, these last few days I stepped up the exercise and I think that pushed me over into the 'loss' category. Very happy! In fact, I am less than half a pound away from a 10-lb total loss!
Last night's dinner was great! Chrorizo and bean burritos. It's not from a WW cookbook but from this book that Miriam gave me:
Here is the final product:
Wow, were they ever good! I only bought one can of beans (oops), so we could only make half the recipe (3 servings instead of 6). The good news is I just have to buy a can of beans the next time we go to the store and I can make them again next week (or maybe even this weekend) because I have all of the other ingredients.
Despite the Bipster having two very generous servings, there was a (very) little bit left... so guess what I am having for lunch? (I refused to let him claim the leftovers this time!)
go girly! x hivennn
ReplyDeleteHi Shawna, congrats on your weight loss! I just started ww almost 3 weeks ago and am loving it so far. I was wondering which ww cookbook you have? These recipes look delish! Have a lovely weekend :)
ReplyDeleteIn addition to the book pictured above (not WW), I am using these three WW books:

This one can sometimes be hard to find, but I swear by everything I've made out of it -

I just ordered this one a couple of days ago. I can't wait to get it, and I hope it arrives before Sunday so I can maybe add some of the recipes from it to next week's meal plan!

Thanks for the info :) I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Watchers-Complete-Cookbook-Momentum-Program/dp/0470504919/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1296840105&sr=1-6 and so far its pretty good! I also didnt actually sign up for ww, just doing it on my own like you. I think your blog will give me the motivation to stick with it! I unfortunately have been neglecting my blog but plan to get a jump on it this weekend and have weekly ww posts also, so hopefully that will keep me on track too.
ReplyDeleteThank you! That is sweet... we will motivate each other! :)
