Sonoma/Mediterranean Weekly Thread Sept. 5-11

  • 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.

    L: Buckwheat Soba noodles with tomato sauce and a little bit of low fat mozzarella
    D: Grilled Chicken breast, broccoli and probably turnip greens
  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
