Hi everybody, my computer had some kind of problem and had to send it to the repair shop for some days.... I'm happy to report that I lost almost 7 pounds!!!
YUPPII!!! I'm sooo excited!!
The best part is it was not so hard, of course most people lose more easily when you first go in a diet, specially since I just came back from vacations and had packed some extra pounds... Don`t you hate it, it's aways a lot easier to gain than to lose
But I'm trying to be on my best behavior, and I notice that it's easier for me to wake up one hour earlier and do my workout first thing in the morning, and that way I stay motivated (I did tried to do the workouts in the evening but most days I was too tired, or had something urgent from the office to do instead, etc...), I'm still trying to compile some sort of point value list (on the on line version of ww you have to search every item to know the point value.... ) and pushing the water: I measure the glasses into a pitcher and know that by the end of the day I have to finish it, and sometimes I even have some extra water.
I tried the pancake recipe for the crepes and they were quite good, and also I used the same pancake recipe (the one with the cottage cheese), adding about 1 cup oatmeal and 1 cup oat bran, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 tablespoons splenda and a diced apple to make muffins and they were ok (not the greatest muffin you've had, but they are core....) and the recipe I really liked was for frozen yoghurt: I put 1/2 a frozen banana (ripe) and 3/4 - 1 cup frozen strawberries in the food processor, add about a teaspoon of splenda and finally add about a cup of fat free plain yoghurt and it realy is very good either as a snack or as dessert
I'll be in Acapulco for the weekend, visiting with my family. Have a very nice weekend!!
