And so it goes.....


Yum.....I love guacamole!  I love avocados in general.  I have been experimenting with a panini maker I received for Christmas.  Last night it was a tuna melt with avocado.  Very thin slices of avocado......it was decadent.  I can't say it was point friendly but I had planned for the sandwich for dinner and it was ok.  It was so ok that I saw a 1.4 lb loss on the scale this week.

At my meeting this morning we talked about our successes and how we achieved them; also talked about how we would sustain the momentum this week.  I thought about that.

The last few weeks I have been cleaning my spaces (fridge, pantry, house in general) and most everything is point friendly.  This includes the glass of wine I might choose with dinner or a splurge of ice cream after dinner.  Did you know the beauty of Weight Watchers is that there are no forbidden foods?!  Seriously!  I love ice cream.....skinny cows, dairy queen, you name it.....I like it!!

What is even nicer is that if I choose to exercise, I can have more points to eat!  I try not to use my activity points because I have the extra 49 per week.  I NEVER use both the extra and activity points.  That shows a lack of self control!  This is a healthy journey and there is nothing healthy about being glutenous in any area of life.  Everything should be in moderation.

So, to celebrate my success this week, I will take the dog for a walk before dinner and maybe indulge in a cup of hot cocoa as a treat.  I really don't want to give myself food as a reward for success.........isn't that how I got in this mess??!

Seriously, I am saving my rewards that I am earning for my cruise.  Maybe I will get a new pair of shoes or a new swim suit....something that will reflect the hard work I am putting forth to be a healthier (and sassier) me!
