Sonoma/Mediterranean Weekly Thread Sept. 5-11

[CPTSayrah]

The beach was wonderful, and believe it or not, the whole wheat muffins were a big hit with my husbands family. Definitely recommend them. He has decided that he is starting a "diet" which makes me anxious where I wasn't before. I did pretty well the whole trip, except I ate ice cream last night, but not too much... Have you thought about looking on amazon for your WW lasgna noodles?

B: WW Blueberry Muffin
L: Steak Salad w/ Blue Cheese Dressing
S: Simply Fit Chocolate Chip Cookie
D: Caesar Salad w/ Blackened Mahi Mahi, glass of Pinot Grigio

Thanks for starting the new thread! The Amazon Groceries site is still in beta in the UK, and it doesn't have ww lasagna at the moment - perhaps it will when it's finished, though. Good thought.

I decided that I needed to be moving more than I am, so the husband and I are walking at night after dinner. We have a gym membership that we pay for every month, but I think we need to take baby steps.

I can't seem to get below 131, like I'm just hovering. My TOM is coming, so I'm hoping that that will help, because I feel like I'm making good choices about what I'm eating. I do not like feeling frustrated.

L: Salad with Chicken, 4 Honey Wheat Pretzel Sticks
S: Almonds, Simply Fit Cookie
D: WW baked ziti w/ spinach, broccoli, glass of "jammy" cabarnet sauvignon

TOM makes a big difference for me, sometimes as much as 4 lbs. Very likely that will help.

I hit 129! WOOOOHOOOO!!!!! Now the real work begins...once I start getting to around 127-128, I start to feel like I look pretty good and then normally will reward myself with food. Then I get lazy and stop eating right, and the whole process starts over. That is not going to happen this time.

B: 2 fried eggs, WW toast
L: 8 oz. Naked Juice Green Machine
D: ww baked ziti w/ spinach, popcorn at the movies

[pilgrim]

Yay, well done!

Yesterday:

B: Ww bagel, peanut butter, banana
S: Handful of blackberries - we were out hiking and picked them as we went
L: In a pub, so limited choices. Small portion of veggie ravioli, large salad, 2 slices garlic bread. Too much white flour and not the right proportions - probably about 35% grain/15% protein/50% veggies - but not too bad. I didn't have dessert, and I didn't need an afternoon snack, so it must not have been enough processed grain to really unbalance my blood sugar.
D: Lentil and quinoa salad, grape juice.

Exercise: 5 hrs walking.
