Hi everyone!
Another small victory last night. I chose grilled Mahi Mahi for dinner with green beans and with a baked potato instead of rice. I by passed the bread. I had a lovely Mandarin Salad for lunch both yesterday and today. I had them hold the fried wontons. And ya know, I paid for the bread and those darn wontons, but I didn't eat them anyway!!!
Like I said, a
small victory.
I called my representative at the WW office and ordered another 16 weeks of program coupons. Got a deal, 18 weeks for the price of 16 and she's sending me a free cookbook. Soooooo, looks like I'll have lots of recipes to pass on.
That's supposed to be that smilie licking it's lips. Hey, 2cute, is there a code to put that little bugger you sent me into the paragraph? Or can I only use it at the end of the post as an attachment????
We got about 6 inches of snow by me overnight and by this morning it was sleeting and then freezing rain. My oldest decided he was going to venture out to school for his 8:00 class, even though DH and I told him with all of the school districts being closed, his University would surely be closed as well. He left a little before 7:00, and the TV added his school at 7:40!
I phoned him on the cell and he was just about there. It took him 2 hours to get back home!
Maybe next time he'll listen to his ma!!!!
Lynne: You keep 'pushing' those boys!!! They'll shape up soon enough!!!
LuckyLadyBug: Sounds like you had a great night out!!!
Katrina: Glad you liked the looks of the recipes. They really help me when I have my fridge stocked. No question as to what to grab and still stay sane and OP.
2cute: I bet you're so glad to have your daughter back on her home turf!!! And I also bet you and she had a wonderful time catching up. She must have had lots of adventures to talk about!!! * Glad the burns are doing better. Watch out for that lip. It sounds more than painful!! * What is it about the "because I paid for it" mentality??? OMG, it will be the undoing of me!!!
NO , I take that back. It will
NOT be my undoing!!! I
WILL conquer this way of thinking!!!! * Good for you on your smart choices at dinner!!! We
WILL do this!!!
Mary: Thanks for the recipes, they sound great! The apple tortilla looks like it's about 4 WW points and the tropical crumble should count about 2????
Malia: Honey, how much water are you trying to drink???? If you don't think 8 is much!!! I like to use water as a tool. I know everyone doesn't follow WW, but WW says 6. When I did Quick Weightloss a few years ago, they touted 6 also. But what they did was when you reached a plateau, you went to 7 glasses the next day, then 8, then 9 and then the last day you were back to 6 again. It generally broke the plateau. So what I'm doing these days is drinking the recommended 6 and then if I've had Chineese or a really salty day, I have a couple of more to 'flush' all the sodium out of my system.
Jen: I'm glad you like the pumpkin mousse. I usually buy cans of crushed pineapple by the case when it's on sale so I always have some on hand. * 53 pounds!!! Woohoo for you!!!!
Well girls, gotta run. Hubby will be home in about a half hour. I think I'm going to do that sweet and sour chicken dish where you brown the chicken breasts and then add salsa and crushed pineapple. I have a package of fresh chicken breasts in the fridge that need to be used up. Talk with you all later.
