June Celebrations....(thus far)

LIL ALEX, TOMMY AND NOAH~JUNE BIRTHDAY BOYS

VELVET ROSE~JUNE GRADUATE

It has been a busy month here at the FRAIJO HOME...some birthdays and high school graduation...on top of Tommy's 50th birthday, our 28th wedding anniversary and Fathers day...and we aren't done yet....today we are headed to another birthday bbq and a wedding next Saturday....

We started off celebrating our cousin Velvet Rose's high school graduation from South Hills High School....and went to her celebration dinner at TGIFriday...Tommy and I have gotten in to a good habit of sharing a entree and each having a salad or some form of low calorie appetizer.  Being on WW does not mean you have to miss out on celebrations of any kind....plus if you eat light (low points) meal during the day, you can save up for the evening celebration.

The following week we celebrated Lil Alex's 9th birthday at the Dodger game. (lil Alex is a cousin's son but more like a grandson to us) He was totally surprised when we told him, and more surprised when we said his friends were meeting us there (total of 30 people attending his party) Now just as in the graduation celebration the week before, if you eat low points all day you can have a good time at the game...(would have been better if they would have BEAT the Angels) but you have to know what to eat....i took goodie bags for the kiddies and snacks for the adults...even had cupcakes (whats a birthday without paupau"s cupcakes?)...

As you know, last week we celebrated Tommy's 50th, our anniversary....

We also celebrated Father's Day with a BBQ at home.  Now when you cook, you can always add point friendly food.  We had a nice veggie tray with fat free ranch dip (sorry Stephanie...lol), chips and salsa...all salsa are ZERO Points....just watch your chip intake.  We had chicken and carne asada...both are fine to eat.  It was a nice day as we celebrated the amazing DADS in our lives..

So you see we still enjoy all the celebrations of our loved ones, WW lets you enjoy life as it should be...it just teaches you to portion control all our favorites and make the right choices.  Sure who wouldn't want to have 2 pieces of cake AND ice cream...but as long as you satisfy your craving with a small portion of it, you will be fine. 

HONEST.....
