Hey everyone! Sorry for being M.I.A for the last little bit, just all the planning and everything for my move to Ontario. I was trying some of the recipes I'd heard at my meeting and the recipe for the Garden Vegetable 0pt soup I made today was sooooo good! I two little bowls and I'm stuffed!!
I also made chocolate cake.. I know, but instead of everything the mix asks for I added a can of diet coke (I read about it) and OH MY GOD! You add up the points by the dry mix because there's 0 in the coke, and you can't tell the difference! I had a big piece for 2.5pts and I'm definitley reccomending you guys try it.
As far as my weight loss I got another 1.6 gone last week, so I'm going to try extra hard to get to my 20 mark next week. It's gonna be hard, but I had to put all my cash away for my trip so no parties this weekend or indulges, only tonight because we're going to Swiss Chalet, because it's my bf's parents anniversary. There's a Santa Fe Chicken meal there and with a salad (or potato) it's less than 12 pts total. So I only had coffee and the soup today, so I can have a good supper and try and get in a workout tonight.
Hope everyone is doing great still, I've subscribed to some video journals on youtube of people documenting their WW journey and it puts me in my place real fast as far as motivation, also some people have some good tips to stay on track as well.
Hi Tendalaya! Congrats on the loss, be sure to go post it in our April Weigh-In thread so we can add it to the tally!!

Well, added my loss to the April tally. Let's go baby!
Also added a much happier avatar, starting to feel really motivated .
B: 2 Coffees (3) (no breakfast because I was chopping veggies all morning for.....)
L: 2 bowls of Garden Vegetable 0pt soup! mmm
S: Another, bowl of 0pt soup - eek!
D: Swiss Chalet - Rotisserie Chicken Club Wrap (15), Caesar salad (5)
S: 3 pts for the Diet Coke/Chocolate cake thing!
I anticipate a couple of those ff no sugar added popcicles tonight (2), thanks Judy I love them!
K, I stuck with it today. Instead of the omelet i planned, I made a frittata at 3 pts a serving and ate 2 servings...i'm in within today's points, whatever. AND i jogged AND went to the gym! Yeah!
I'm not planning on using any FPs today as I don't generally like using FPs the day before a weigh-in. I used 25 FPs this week which is a good amount, though I could have done better. I also could have done WAY better in what I used those FPs on - mostly ice cream and sweet junk food. I need to look at the nutritional value of what I'm eating, not just the points value. :/
Friday:
B: egg, english muffin (3)
L: spinach salad (1), 1/2c ff yogurt (1) w/1/2c fiber one (0), wrap (1) with 2 laughing cow wedges (2) and 1/4 avocado (2) and spinach (0)
S: 1/2c cottage cheese (2), an apple (1)
D: tortilla (1), 4oz chicken (4), salsa (0), avocado (2), bell peppers (0), tsp EVOO (1), 1/2c rice with diced tomato and cumin and a dab of sour cream (3), a bit of cheese (1)
S: WW ice cream bar (2)
=27/27

I get the Thomas Multi-Grain Light ones. They have 100 cals, 1 g of fat, and 8 g of fiber, making it 1 point. These things pretty much save my life on a regular basis.
Dang I need to get some of those
I ate Mountain Mike's pizza yesterday, and it was COMPLETELY within my points, but of course I gained 1.2 pounds overnight because of it
Anyways, I am going to make yet another bad decision and drink today. It is my friend's birthday, so I am going to ration out my points so that I can drink. It's not like it matters because I have been at the same weight for almost 2 months...Even if I didn't drink, I probably wouldn't lose.
Well enough pity party, here's what I plan today:
B: 1.5 servings of cereal with 1 cup milk:5 pts
S: apple with 1/2 tbs of low fat peanut butter:2pts
L: vegetarian corn dog:3pts
baked potato fries:2pts
steamed carrots:0pts
S:granola bar:2pts
D: stir fry veggies:0pts
vegetarian chicken strips:3pts
1/2 cup rice:2pts
S: frozen fruit bar:1pt
Alkee: 4 shots vodka:8pts
1 cup juice:2pts
B: Alternative bagel & 1 Tbs WW RFCream Cheese - 1.5
L: Lean Cuisine - 5
S: Bad Bad me, I just couldn't stay away, they've been beckoning me for 1 month now - 1/4 Strawberry Scone - guessing - 3pt
Fiber 1 Bar - 2
100 Cal pack - 2
D: Bread & tsp Promise - 3; BBQ Chicken Salad (grilled) Chicken - 4, Corn & Black Beans 1/8 cup - 1, 2 slices avo - 1; 1 1/2 TBS Ranch - 3, 1 TBS BBQ Sauce
total 9
S: Fudge Bar - 2pts
27.5/28**
I'm definately going to get into my flex points tonight though...I'm having a horrible case of the munchies, I think TOM is almost here. But I haven't hit my flex yet this weekend.
Trying this planning thing again, seemed to work out the last time:
B: egg, english muffin, spinach = 4
S: soup w. rice = 2
L: half sandwich at cafe = 6?
S: fruit of some sort = 1 or 2
D: tofu stir fry? crap i don't know...i gotta find something for 6ish points that uses tofu, since that's what i've got on hand. Tofu, cauliflower, swiss chard (yes leftover veggies from the 0 pt soup!)...any suggestions? i'm so uncreative in the kitchen, but perhaps tonight i'll see what i can come up with...
some plan!
S
shrinking lizzy...
my roomate makes TLT sandwiches (tofu lettuce tomato)
He marinates the tofu (in slices) in soy sauce, grey poupon mustard, and mayo. Then he would bake them.
The slices come out crisp and really good tasting.
Or you could slice the tofu, dip them in egg whites, and cover with bread crumbs. Then they are kind of like chicken strips.
I'm a vegetarian so these ideas are really tasty for me, I hope they work for other people too!
I usually will make a tofu stirfry when I have tofu on hand. I let it crisp up in a tsp of olive oil before throwing the veggies in, then toss whatever sauce/spices on.. MMmm
Saturday:
B: 2 eggs (4), spinach and bell peppers (0), tsp EVOO (1), english muffin (1), tbsp jam (1), 2 tbsp cheese (1)
S: yogurt, apple (2)
L: Subway - 6" turkey with all veg and mustard (6), baked lays (2)
S: latte (3), 1/4c cottage cheese (2)
D: 7oz (weighed raw) chicken (5), 1/4 of a GIANT avocado (3), laughing cow wedge (1), tomato, bell pepper (0), sweet potato (4), asparagus w/lime vinagrette (1)
S: WW ice cream bar (2)
=39/27, 12 FPs used so far
