I weighed 145 this morning - woohoo! The goal is to now maintain, sometimes that is almost harder. I need to be careful about portion control as I introduce some foods back into my diet. It's hard for me to stop at one cookie, etc. Quite frankly, I cut back on quite a few of my traditional Friday nights out to eat with my husband. It's hard to explain but in a small town this is one of our only opportunities to visit with our friends. My husband was a good sport about it but we didn't go out on several occasions because I wanted to avoid the temptations before my Saturday morning weigh ins at Weight Watchers. My plan now is to weigh at home on Fridays and record that here in FS and weigh in at WW once a month.
So far this week has been easy for keeping on plan but now the challenges begin....book club tonight (this ALWAYS involves a glass of wine and some form of chocolate) and a church fish fry tomorrow night. I LOVE breaded fish and tartar sauce!
I'm glad I've learned to eat filling low, point foods on days where I want to bank some points. My newest trick is to take a 0 point serving of Progresso's Southwestern Vegetable soup and add a 1/2 cup of chicken tortilla soup and some salsa to make a nice big bowl of filling soup with lots of flavor for about 2 points! I use the chicken tortilla soup mix that comes in a packet and you add 7 cups of water and some cooked chicken.
Also, any type of berries are only a 1/2 point for a cup. I like to mix some frozen no-sugar added mixed berries with a container of yoplait fiber one vanilla yogurt - again, lots of volume and very creamy and yummy for just 1/2 point!
