Food finds!

When I find a new food find, I become obsessed! This means the product has to be low in points (so I don't feel guilty eating it non-stop) and deeelish - which means it can't taste "chemically" like fat free ranch tastes to me, for example.

So, I was at my local Marsh when the $10 facebook coupon came out here in Indy (and low and behold, they didn't accept it when we checked out - bugga!), and found these AMAZING wraps that are one WW point and taste heavenly! I had one of these in the form of a quesadilla at least once every day this week which was perfect since the hubby was out of town and I was cooking for one. So I had to share! If you find them, stock up - they are to die for!

So many updates, so little time!

Wow! Where did the week go? For starters, I made 3 really nummy recipes this week (actually last Sunday and Monday) - chili bake, low mein, and chocolate cupcakes from Green Lite Bites. They were sooo good! I took the cupcakes over to a friend's for dinner and they were a big hit! They are also super easy to make - a can of pumpkin, some water and a fudge cake mix. Easy + low points = fabulous in my book! While I was in the kitchen Adam gave the babies a "spa day". I had to post a pic because I do think they are the most adorable little things (and yes, I know they are dogs!). Frankie as usual sat there like the most precious little princess while little man was squirming every single minute - which is why Adam gets that job - they listen to him far better than I!

Weight watchers weigh in was today and I lost 2 lbs.! I have a long way to go but it was a great feeling because I have never felt deprived this week and had many treats within reason (aahem - Ritter's lite custard/yogurt, anyone? Sooo good!). Tonight we are going out to dinner but I feel like I am on a roll and will make good choices!

Everyone have a great weekend!

Back to business....

So anyone that knows me knows that I have been following - or, slightly following, the weight watchers plan for years now. I normally get reeeeallly close to my lifetime goal and then am happy and decide to celebrate - with some type of high fat or calorie-laden treat! Because that makes sense, right:)!

Honestly though - the past semester was chaos, so I gave it my best shot before the wedding - but now that I have summer "off" (just working - no school or wedding planning!) - I have decided to FOCUS on WW.

Last Saturday was my weigh in and HOLY SMOKES! I am 17 lbs. up from when I first met Adam...yikes! I guess you can tell I am in love, happy and comfortable! In all fairness, I started grad school at that point, and I think that had something to do with it. I did okay the first year, but over time, and as things became busier, I have had less and less time to work out and make healthy meals. And knowing my genetic makeup, I am one that will always have to work out - always. Which is a good thing - I used to hate that fact but as I am approaching 30 - I've learned - curves are good - and those "birthing hips" - as my husband affectionately calls them - those might come in handy - someday......:)I have resigned to the fact that this will have to become a lifestyle for me - and there will always be times in which life gets hectic - (when is it ever calm?) - but like last Saturday - at least I climbed back on the wagon!

So here's to getting back in the swing of things - taking care of my body - and treating it with the love it deserves! So far so good this week - so we'll see when I weigh in on Saturday!
