Sorry this post is so late guys!!! My day was very, very hectic and I kept planning to blog but my day just really got away from me! Anyways, I’m happy to report that yesterday my eats got 100% back on track and I am counting points again!!! It felt REALLY good to be back in control!
The only bad thing is that I guess I ate too much. I always used to get 19 WW Points and sometimes even 20 recently. So that’s what I ate yesterday, but today I refigured what I should be eating, and I only get 18 WW Points!!! Yikes! Guess I’ll really have to start cracking the whip on my eating! 
Sorry this post is going to be relatively short and sweet – I need to get supper on the table!
BUT, coming tomorrow? A YUMMY, easy, healthy recipe!!! I can’t wait to tell you guys about it I’m making it tonight for supper….ever since I found it about 2 years ago (??) it’s been a regular in our house. YUM! But, as far as yesterdays eats:
BREAKFAST – 4 WW POINTS
I had one of my favorite breakfasts: 1/2 cup oatmeal made with water and nuked, then on top 1/2 banana, 1/2 container of yogurt, and a handful of cereal (today it was Fiber One and Kashi H2H).
This breakfast is not only low cal, but VERY filling. And I just LOVE the different temperatures (oatmeal= hot, yogurt=cold, and cereal=neutral) and the different textures!
LUNCH – 3 WW POINTS
I used to do this low point combo ALL the time and remembered it this weekend so stocked up on deli meat this weekend It’s just 2 pieces of reduced calorie bread (1 WW Point), with FF Mayo (0 WW Point), deli ham (1 point), lettuce, and low fat deli cheese (1 point). On the side, freebie carrots and a pickle!!!
ALL that food for 3 points! Can’t beat it I normally would get wheat bread but Chad doesn’t like it, so in order to not having to buy 2 loaves and they go to waste, I just got the white. Everything else I eat as far as pasta, oatmeal, and rice is brown/whole wheat so I figure I’m okay.
SNACK – 3 WW POINTS
Snack number 1 was a delicious grapefruit! YUM!
Snack number 2 was a new Weight Watchers bar that I got at Monday night’s meeting. One of the things I love about WW meetings is that when they introduce new products, a lot of times they hand out free samples! SCORE
SUPPER – 10 WW POINTS
Supper was mm, mmm, mmmm, so good! We put one of the beef roasts from my parents in the crock pot to cook ALL day. YUM! All we do is put it in a crock pot (still frozen!), with 1/2 cup water, and then put a bunch of BBQ sauce on top of the roast. Cook on low for 8 hours and when you get home, the house smells AMAZING! This EASY recipe is so yummy!
On the side, we had baked sweet potatoes and a side salad. I put little shrimpies on mine
Breakdown: Roast = 6 points, Sweet Potato = 2 points, Salad = 2 points (used light ranch for dressing).
TOTAL = 20 WW POINTS
*Sorry in advance for those of you who could care less about WW Points I realize that I really do love WW and I actually like counting points! Plus, I know that I’ve been VERY successful in the past counting points so if it works, why not do it??
Ciao!!
Don’t apologize!! Glad that you’re back to a system that works well for you
Good luck!!
Glad you’re feeling back on track ! I love all the low point foods- I’d probably eat them all day long
Can’t wait for the recipe
I am happy to hear about your good day. I was also excited to read that you are an 18 point ww girl like me, it is nice to see how some else does it and to get new ideas…your lunch was great!
Even not being on WW, it’s cool to see how it works and all the GREAT stuff you can eat!
Wow, everything you had looks mighty tasty! Sandwich looks fab!
And banana nut bread? Mmmmm!
Great dinner! Have a wonderful day!
Welcome back to weightwatchers! I just switched from counting point to the simply filling technique – I couldn’t loose weight on my 20 points (and using all my WPA), it was just not enough to support my activity I think.
mryjane – Yeah, I know what you mean……This was my first time seeing the new momentum program and I’m still not sure what it’s all about…
My thoughts are they wanted to have flexers focus more on core foods so they combined the programs and renamed it to Momentium. I tottally agree with their guidelines that people eat closer to the earth (whole grains, fruits, veggies, etc.). But no matter how many times I try counting points just doesn’t work for me. Incidentally, Simply Filling is the same as the old Core plan.
Wee shrimp on salad sounds good to me!
