And your eyes do not deceive you. Those are chips! Baked Lays, but still! Chips! What I love about WW is you can literally have WHATEVER you want. It is all about moderation and portion control. So I had 3 pieces of applewood smoked bacon (3P+) on 2 pieces of white bread (3P+) *side note - I do not normally buy or eat white bread. But my husband has been doing so good eating what I cook (even enjoying it) and has been so supportive that I bought white bread for our BLTs. He totally doesn't mind whole wheat pasta, brown rice, and all that stuff, but wheat bread is not his fav. But because he is so awesome, he eats it anyway. So I decided I would surprise him with white bread. - end side note*. My BLT has less than 1 TBSP of Hellman's Mayo made with Olive Oil (1 P+) and of course the lettuce, tomato, and red onion were 0 points. Technically we had BLTOs. With the Baked Lays Cheddar and Sour Cream chips (3 P+ for 1 oz or approx 10 chips) my whole meal was 10 P+! It was delicious and I was incredibly satisfied. Granted, this won't be a weekly meal since it isn't that great for you, but it was a treat that fell perfectly within my allowed points.
I have a WW recipe I cooked last week that was very tasty, but I think the WW website has the points wrong so I am going to figure it up on my own and then post the recipe here. It was great. The hubs even requested it go into our cooking rotation. And it was easy, so even better!
So here are a few goals I am going to set for the upcoming weeks:
- Do my Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred DVD I bought at Target ($9.96!)
- Do before pictures for the 30 Day Shred and just for the blog in general. I have been putting this off, but I really want to have good before and after photos.
- Try to get in more water. I am not quite drinking as much as I should, but I am getting there.
- Eat more dairy. With watching my points, I realized I accidentally cut out pretty much all dairy, which is NOT recommended by WW. I should be getting 3 servings a day. I am not quite reaching my daily point allowance every day (which is also NOT recommended) so I think I will reach all my points by adding dairy back into my diet.
- Get my 'go-to' recipes into my WW tracker so it will be easier to track in the long run
- Get the balls to tell people I am blogging again. I feel like I am just talking..err..writing to myself!
- Possibly buy a too-small swimsuit as inspiration. We are planning to go on a cruise in January to the Caribbean and since it will be hard to find a swim suit then, I should just buy one now on the cheap. *Target's swimsuits are all on sale!*
- I want to lose 5 pounds by my next WW meeting. I think I can do it, and I get rewarded (with a sticker, but who doesn't like a gold star sticker?!) if I lose my first 5 pounds.
Alright, y'all (me). That is it for now. I'll post some of my meals I have been eating soon!
Love always,
Annie
