Pounds lost this week - 3.8
Pounds lost total - 7.2
Pounds to go - lots
Confessions:
Bless my sweet visiting teacher Sister Clark! She brought me a whole pan of fresh, homemade cinnamon rolls on Tuesday morning! DAAA!! I resisted and only ate 1/2 of one that morning. I was able to eat 1/2 at a time for the next couple of days, but it was really hard!
Wednesday was Kaitlin's Young Womanhood Recognition and I was asked to make a fruit pizza. I love that dessert! Thank goodness it was all gone in a few minutes, and I only had one bite of Dad's, or else I'm sure I would have given in. The good thing is that I have lots of left over fruit to eat now!
What worked for me:
I think it takes time to get into a new eating plan, and I think this week I finally decided to be serious! It helped that I brought my lunch to work most of the week. If I go out to lunch, I never feel satisfied with the tiny amount you can eat at a restaurant, so I am tempted to eat snacks later in the day.
Mark and I went grocery shopping and I was able to get lots of healthy things that I enjoy eating, and it was fun to spend time with him too!
Recipe:
I found this on the WW website and it looks yummy!
Black Bean and Corn Crockpot Chicken
Servings 8
Estimated POINTS® value per serving 6
Ingredients
4 uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cans black beans
1 can corn
2 cans tomatoes with green chilies (rotel)
2 Tbsp Old El Paso Mild Taco Seasoning Mix
8 oz cream cheese (I would use the light cream cheese and reduce the points)
Instructions
Add chicken,beans, corn, tomatoes and seasoning to crockpot. Cook on High 5 hours. after 4 1/2 hours add cream cheese.Serve over rice.
Special Notes
You can serve chicken shredded or as is. If you wait one day the sauce thickens up and you can serve in tortillas instead of over rice.
Goals for this week:
As usual, try to drink more water (it's hard when it is snowing outside)! I still want to start excercising, but I'm not going to beat myself up if I'm not perfect right now. I just want to stay motivated and keep on my eating plan. Hope everyone has a good week!
