Losing it one pound at a time

I’m getting questions from people at the Weight Watchers meetings about what I’ve been eating and I thought I’d post a few in case you’d like to see them. I’m still figuring it all out, but I’m having good results and I feel really full throughout the day. So here are a few of my faves…..

Breakfast: oatmeal. It really fills you up and for the WW out there, only 3 points! Another favorite is scrambled egg whites with veggies (squash, green or red peppers) and salsa. I love anything spicy.

Lunch: I’ve been eating this for 3 weeks and it still isn’t getting old….Thomas’s Light Multi Grain English Muffins are only 1 point and so, so good. I eat them with a few slices of turkey and loads of lettuce, tomato, cucumber and a little spicy mustard. It’s only 3 points!

Snacks: I love to snack. I’ve been eating non-fat greek yogurt (it has 14 grams of protein!) and it’s only 2 points!!! I also love light microwave popcorn, only 1 point for 3 cups - and that’s a lot of popcorn. Fuji apples are so good right now, and so are pears. They’re only 1 point and another great snack option.

Dinner: I eat lean meat or fish, about 3-4 ounces and pile the rest of the plate with veggies. I have been broiling squash, asparagus, onion and tomato by spraying it with PAM and then sprinkling salt, pepper and garlic powder on top. They are so, so good! Depending on what type of meat or fish you’re eating you may only have a 6-8 point dinner.

Dessert: I really love my dessert and I’ve been buying the WW ice cream bars. They’re 2 points and really good. You won’t feel deprived at all.

And lastly, I’ve been exercising every day. I have a 3 year old home with me and I take him on bike rides and long walks. He won’t usually take a nap when we’re at home but when I get him in the bike trailer or stroller he’s out like a light.

Happy Election Day buddies!
