WW Wed.

I have been doing so good the past few days. Here's the deal;

I lost 30 lbs. in 4 months on WW.

Then over the holidays I gained 5 lbs. of it back.

Since I got back on track, I've lost 3.5 lbs.

Leaving me with a weight loss total of 28.5 lbs.

I'm getting down to business for real- no playing around! Summer time is right around the corner and I want to feel good about myself when I lose the cardigans, turtle necks, and snow boots. I know you can relate. Please tell me you relate. :)

YOU are my support system so I've started a linky for my WW Wed. blog posts. Even if you are not doing Weight Watchers and are just trying to live a healthier lifestyle, link up on Wed and spread the word. I love reading what others are cooking, drinking, and what tricks they may have to making this lifestyle easier. You can also check out my side bar every week to see a different snack I have found and what's it's point intake is.

Speaking of cooking- over the weekend I cooked two new recipes and LOVED them. Actually, the entire family did! You must try these two recipes!
