WW= Eating Healthy

So I have decided not to go back to WW meetings but to apply the points system on my own and track my food using Spark People and my old slider I have. Jenny Craig didnt work for me duh- I have a social life that involves eating out or at friends. WW worked once and it will work again. I am exercising now 3-4 times a week and it is working but I need to bump it up. Basically I turn 21 in 7 months so I am losing 20 pounds by then. No question! To stay accountable at the end of my daily post in small font I am going to put this:
1. Daily Points: how many did I use out of 24
2. Did I exercise: yes or no
3. Water: how many glasses I drank

Please encourage me as needed!
You all are my biggest support!

Ok everyone... So I keep saying I am re-commiting to WW... well I havent yet and I have gained weight to the point if my WTF weight! So this post is more for me, just to get myself back on track.
I havent been on facebook or twitter in forever and have been bad with blogging. I eat a very healthy lunch and ruin it at dinner and forget to excersise. So this week is a new week and it is all changing. I have made my schedule print off that resembles FlyLady, bought 30 Day Shred, and I am ready to rock. To keep my blog in line you can expect:

Monday- to be a post about life, or Gossip Girl fashion/addiction
Tuesday- Toning Tuesday with WW updates
Wednesday- Wishlist
Thursday- Random, Maybe Tablescape
Friday-Sunday- Random!

Anyone have any tips for WW weight loss? I have done it once before so I can do it again!

It's June 1st: Time to Start my Summer Slimdown

So it is June 1st and I have promised myself I will lose 10-20 pounds this summer.
Today will be my first day of doing the P90X program. I am joining up with Gracie Beth at Preppy Southern Princess for Toning Tuesday. I have decided to get back on Weight Watchers when I get back home to Waco. Now in El Paso I am going to focus on just healthy eating. I will be back tomorrow with the P90x day 1 report!

Oh by the way... This might save my life this summer!

Weight Watcher Wednesday: Southern Style!

Hey WWW ladies... So weigh in last night not good as I knew. I gained 3 pounds partially due to a very heavy lunch before weigh in, but I am determined this week to do better.
I am walking with L (my friend and WW buddy) and we are switching off cooking dinner every night!
So this week I have been watching A LOT of Paula and I have all her cook books so I decided to lighten a few up.
For tonight we are having: Sweet Potato Chips, Corn Bread, and Taco Soup!

Sweet Potato Chips:
1 Large sweet potato sliced 1/4 in thick
Spray each side of chip with 0 cal butter spray, add salt to taste
Bake on 425 for 15 min
Then flip chips over for 5 min min
Put on drying rack to drain and dry!
Easy and super yummy and like only 4 pt!
But if you share 2 pts!

xoxo

Weight Watcher Wednesday!

Well this week was my first weigh in of Weight Watchers Round 2!
I lost 2.2 pounds... I was hoping to lose more but a loss is a loss.
This is my first WWW post so each Wednesday I am going to set three goals for the upcoming week and a recipe I tried during the week that I liked. So here it goes!

Goals:
1. Walk twice this week outside of my running class
2. Only eat out on Friday and Saturday.
3. Only drink on Saturday.

Recipe:
Tuscan Turkey Slow Cooker Pasta (4pts)
1 pound(s) boneless, skinless turkey breast(s), cut into 1-inch pieces
16 oz canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
15 oz canned tomato sauce
29 oz canned stewed tomatoes, Italian-style
4 oz mushroom(s), canned, drained and sliced
1 medium green pepper(s), chopped
1 small onion(s), chopped
2 medium stalk(s) celery, chopped
3 medium garlic clove(s), chopped
1 cup(s) water
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
6 oz uncooked whole-wheat spaghetti, broken in half

Place all ingredients, except spaghetti, in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours or until vegetables are tender.

Turn setting to high heat, stir in spaghetti and cover. Stir again after 10 minutes, cover and cook until pasta is tender, about 20 minutes more. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.

Manic and Mystery Mondays, and 21 Days to Effective Person

Manic and Mystery Monday

Monday- Ugh... So last night W and I thought we heard someone in our house... I was in a towel wrap. So we went downstairs and checked it out then realized it was clear then we heard it again from upstairs. So we grabbed the meat cleaver and knife from the kitchen and preceded to the car. We didn't know what to do so and our phones were upstairs. We drove to find M at her boyfriends house and we knocked on the window for her to let us in, no awnser. Finally a sweet drunk girl let us in and we went to our other friends apartment where he informed us M was coming up because she was scared to death from someone knocking on the window. Our guy friend came and searched our apartment and it was all clear, but still not fun. Mind you all this time I was in a towel wrap with no shoes lol.

Now to 21 Days to be an Effective Person...

This week I guess I did better. I stayed OP to the best of my ability, but on Friday we went to Dallas and I do not pass up decent resturants when I have the chance, but I did try to have more veggies at these places. I did exercise once out of class, but I need to do it more. Oh well a new week to really buckle down and get to it.
