Weekend Wrap-Up

How was everyone's weekend? Our was full of fun and exciting things......I heard lots of things about our blog and from those who have been encouraged by our story.  Some will be joining us weekly at WW so we can encourage each other, others will be following along on this blog, and some will be learning from what we learn....its gonna be a great year for us all!!! You just have to BELIEVE!

and BELIEVE is just what we continued to do this past weekend.

I have mentioned before that eating out wasn't too much of a problem (especially restaurants) but eating out at say............ a sandwich counter who doesn't have a nutritional list, is a bit of a challenge but it can be done. 

Take Friday afternoon for instance, Tom and I both had taken the day off to spend some time together (along with Thomas and Jackie too) and where we were had lots of the foods stands but with a lot of greasy fried food, but there was this ONE stand serving hand carved turkey breast sandwiches.....JACKPOT!  Tom and I were able to have an amazing turkey sandwich on a cibata roll, with mustard and dill pickles without going overboard on out points.  Thank goodness for our pocket guide and trusty calculator.  Sharing the sandwich was perfect for us and it only cost each of us 6 POINTS!

The rest of the weekend didn't pose too much of a problem with choices to eat....there wasn't even a moment of temptation when I baked 2 DOZEN CUPCAKES for Tom's basketball team on Sunday. And I made sure I passed them ALL out...none were going to make it back to our house.  (side-note: gonna try red velvet cupcakes soon that equal  12 point each)

The most AMAZING discovery this weekend was "DREAM CLUSTERS" by Skinny Cow....OMG, if you want a bit of chocolate to help satisfy your sweet addiction...then these are a MUST have! 

Now WW is not depriving yourself what you like to eat BUT learning how to eat it.

Today is day 14 on WW, and we will weigh tonight...hope it was a good week!
