I went down another 1.5 lb this week so I am somewhat pleased- I get so discouraged when I don't see BIG numbers, BUT I have to remind myself that I am trying to do this the "healthy" way and that is my whole purpose... to be healthy that is. I did not cook anything new this past week, but I did try something new. My husband and I have been talking about drinks lately. He is not actually doing WW, but he has been checking points on items out of curiosity. He was so shocked to see the points values on Mountain Dew as well as some of the Naked drinks. Here is a list of the 2010 Worst Drinks- you may be surprised. I only drink H2O and occasionally a sweet tea, but I know my sister and some friends struggle with the whole water thing. Try to think of it like this- do you really want to drink all of your points? It's not worth it to me unless it is something that actually fills me up as a meal, such as a Slim Fast for breakfast or something of that nature. So.. I give you the new McDonalds Strawberry-Banana Smoothie! So good and worth having for breakfast!
12 oz. smoothie= 4 points!
Not too bad and it really fills me up!

ReplyDeleteCongrats! 1.5 is great for one week. I am on the WW wagon now and hoping to see some good numbers next week. It's nice to be able to follow someone else's experiences with the plan. I'm inspired now to do better!
