I know there aren't many people out there reading this yet. :) But for the handful of you out there that ARE, I just wanted you to know I AM working on getting recipe and product links up! :) It's a process--but it's coming along!
My main goal in starting this blog was to show how the Points + program through Weight Watchers is truly a lifestyle--NOT a diet. The things I post here and things my family eats, TOGETHER. And it is how I plan to cook and eat the rest of my life. I knew when I started out on my weight loss journey that if I could not follow a plan that would be sustainable in the end, it would all be in vain.
I have truly loved the flexibility of this program, and how it has allowed me to start to make changes that not only affect ME, but my entire family. I may not eat PERFECT, but I can definitely say I am eating better and healthier than I ever have before. I am AWARE of what and how much I am putting in my body. Some days I feel right on track. Other days I can look back and see places I could improve next time. But 60 pounds down, and I know this was the right lifestyle change for me!
I hope you feel free to ask questions if you need. Or if you're on your own journey and want to share, I would love to hear from you as well! There is strength in numbers, and in LOSING other numbers (on the scale) together! :)
Be looking for some of my favorite low point snacks, products, and kitchen essentials that make eating healthier a cinch! I am so excited about this project and sharing what's worked for me, and would LOVE your feedback and ideas as well! :)

Day 28 (29 points+ in 29 days)
Really wanted to do something fun for the kids this morning, so I found a recipe for these chunky monkey pancakes that looked super tasty! I calculated it all out, and took a few things out (or reduced them) to get them down to only 5 pt+ for 2 pancakes, which I thought was AWESOME since I normally will use between 3-8 pt+ for breakfast (remember, I like to start the day off good and full!)
BREAKFAST:
2 Chunky monkey pancakes 5 pt+
2 TBSP Peanut Butter syrup 2 pt+
TOTAL: 7 pt+

I was at church most of the day, and came home to get dinner ready, so there weren't really any snacks in there...just moved on to dinner.
DINNER: meatball sub, green beans, watermelon

3 meatballs in pizza sauce 3 pt+
1/8 C mozzarella cheese sprinkled on 1 pt+
1 C watermelon
3/4 C green beans
TOTAL: 9 pt+
We had some friends over and I figured since I had the points left over, I would have a bigger piece of dessert than normal. HUUUUUGE mistake. It was WAY too much, and I ate it anyway, which left me feeling yucky. One serving would have been plenty. Lesson learned. :)

I have to do an approximation for dinner, because I don't think there is truly a way to figure out down to the exact point recipes that I combine homemade sauces, etc. with another recipe--so I am guessing the best I can, and trying to be realistic about it.
We had pizza for dinner--homemade. I did thin crust this week, so I know each slice was 2 pt+ for the pizza dough. Usually my toppings end up being between 2-3 points, so approx 4-5 pt+ per slice. We did a macaroni and cheese pizza, a chicken alfredo pizza, and our standby supreme. :)
I had my 2 slices of pizza, but just HAD to try another half slice of the other kind to see how it turned out! In my defense, I HAD saved the points for this night, so I had them--
DINNER:
2 1/2 pieces of misc pizza (probably over-guesstimating, but approx) 14 pt+
dessert: orange sherbet push pop 2 pt+
TOTAL: 16 pt+
DAILY TOTAL: 28 pt+

I just HAD to eat leftovers from our Valentine's day lunch, but wanted to make it fewer points than last night, since this is lunch and I want to have enough points for the rest of the day.

SNACK:
I did a really stupid thing. I was totally not hungry, but when I went to my weigh in they were handing out samples of dijon pretzel chips. I don't even like dijon mustard. So what did I do? I ate them in between errands after my meeting. Lame, lame waste of points. :)

Today...Sunday...perfect day for a nice, leisurely breakfast! :) I've been wanting to have french toast for a while, but was out of eggs, so I used egg beaters this time. Also was leery about using whole wheat bread (there is just something SO un-french toast about it..) but it was surprisingly good! :) Discovered that if I measure out 1 1/2 TBSP of syrup, it's NO points! But it was PLENTY of syrup! :)

I was really craving the food from a restaurant here called Penn Station. My husband and I decided to have a little date night in, and pick it up to share at home after the kids go to bed. We ordered a 10 inch sub and split it, and also shared a medium fry. So it made it a little lighter than getting a whole meal ourselves...but was a DELICIOUS splurge!
