Week 5 - Mom

Weight lost this week: - 2.4
Total weight lost: - 13.8

What worked for me:

I had a good week, it was pretty easy and I am getting into a routine. I always have hot chocolate for breakfast. It is cold here and I like something hot in the morning. I'm not that hungry in the morning, so this keeps me satisfied until lunch. Then I almost always have a can of soup with some of the veggies I cook. This is very filling and I'n not hungry until about 4:00. I have some small 2 pt. snack around then. Dinners have been more creative, as I am trying some new recipes. Last Sunday I made "Mexican Meatloaf" from my WW info. I also made some spanish rice from a mix. I didn't use any butter, so it was low in points. Then I sauteed some zucchini in Olive Oil Pam to go along with it. It was a total WW meal and Dad loved it! There were lots of leftovers so I have been able to morf it into other meals. I added a small portion of the meatloaf to my Southwestern Vegetable soup along with some beans and corn and had a great soup. It has been fun trying new things and I think that keeps me motivated!

Temptations:

We have been deluged with goodies from the ward! The Laurels brought over yummy heart shaped cookies last week. I just had one little corner of one cookie! Sister Clark felt well enough to make her wonderful "cherry bread" and brought that over on Tuesday, and then the same night the McClellans brought over some more heart shaped cookies!!! I haven't partaken of either of those, I am leaving them for Dad!

Goals for next week:

Try to avoid all the chocolate and goodies for Valentines Day! Keep trying new foods and recipes and stay on track!

Hope everyone has a good week and watch out for the Valentines chocolate!
