Health and Nutrition 2012

Weight Watchers weigh in Monday, March 26, I lost another 2.2 pounds for a 12 week total of 12.2 pounds.  My progress is due to weekly meetings at weight watchers and working out in the gym.  My goal is to lose another 3 pounds and then I will be just maintaining after that.  I do plan to attend weekly meetings at Weight Watchers anyway and continue my blog to share with others.  I believe that one of the reasons that I am so successful is because I get weighed weekly by Weight Watchers. 

As I said I do continue to attend Weight Watchers meetings and work out in the gym but I also use some of the Weight Watchers recipes.  The recipes are a huge part of my success as well because I have to eat.  I am not a person that does not eat while on a diet, I eat all day long but I eat small portions that are healthy and filling.

This past week I mostly had for breakfast yogurt and a banana.  On some days I threw in two pieces of turkey bacon with egg whites. In between breakfast and lunch I ate a serving of fruit.   Mostly for lunch I had a salad that was loaded with vegetables and a light dressing.  My favorite right now is Ken's Light Caesar that is only 2 points for Weight Watchers.  My all time favorite is fat free catalina that is only 1 point per serving.  Also for lunch I had chili.  It is a Weight Watchers recipe that I used from etools for Weight Watchers.  I also had a Weight Watchers vegetable soup.  Some people say that this is the secret to their success with Weight Watchers.  In between lunch and dinner I ate another serving of fruit and a snack.  My favorite snack now is fiber one 90 calorie bars, chocolate with peanut butter.  I also like popped chips.  Most nights I had a Lean Cuisine for dinner with another salad.  And for dessert I had my favorite Weight Watchers candy bar ice cream.  It is only 4 points and very delicious.

I drink plenty of water during the day, coffee, and maybe a diet soda.  I don't add any fat to my coffee because I use fat free creamer.  I use the powdered fat free creamer because it has a lot better taste than skim milk.  I also use splenda.  I don't drink any fluids with added calories.  I think that is okay for when one is closer to or at their goal. 

Please comment if you have any questions or comments.

I am happy to share.
