Hi Turtles,
Please go back and check out our last thread, #226. There are a lot of inspirational actions by our turtles and they'll help you jump start the New Year.
As far as the New Year for me, I got off to a late start, but better late than never. Yesterday I got on the
and I did my arm exercise toning tape so I feel virtuous!
Cherry, great idea to write down what you're eating---no matter what it is. What most WWs find is that writing it down makes you want to think before you eat.
to you. You will do this!!!
Lauren, loved hearing how you're off to such a great start. Officially sore from Curves is a very good thing!!!!! Getting the heart rate up is important and I give you
for monitoring and getting it where it needs to be to be effective. Also interesting about the sugar=scary. I agree. Once I get sugar into my body it calls me for more and more and more. Each day I've been eating one dark chocolate Giardelli square and that's working right now. But Christmas and the cookies was tough and I indulged more than I wanted to. (My one tremendous effort was not eating crackers on New Year's Eve. In the past I've had horrible times trying to control the amount of them I eat and that's not good!! I was proud of myself although I over indulged in other items. But the weight from them is gone and I'm on a good track!)
Lin, I'm hoping your Mom is fully recovered now. Always scary to have an infection like that. Hey, here's a recipe you may find intriguing. A fellow WW brought in a portion of this to me and I liked it.
Pumpkin Sauce (for Whole Wheat Pasta)
1 can chicken broth
1 large can pumpkin
1 large onion
1 can evaporated ff milk
Saute onion and add the rest of the ingredients. bring to a boil. simmer for a bit and serve over whole wheat pasta.
Makes a huge amount. If you have 1/8 of the recipe, it's one point!!!!
(It doesn't replace good ole' tomato sauce in my opinion, but if you're looking for something different and creamy for pasta, you'll like it!)
Bandit, I bet you'd like this recipe!
How's the weather up there? Our winter has been tough so far. We're looking at more snow today.
All goes well here. Putting my "reward stickers" on my calendar for each type of exercise makes me feel like a "very good girl". Yay!
Gotta run. Take care. Be well and happy and keep on keepin' on.
