Menu Monday

A day late.... :)

Monday

• Chicken Quesadillas--> SOOOOO good! We cut down on the portion size though. The recipe calls for you to use two whole tortillas, we just used one and folded it in half. Brian even ate the peppers and onions!!!

Tuesday

• Tortellini Soup and Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

Wednesday

• Grilled Chicken and Spinach Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette, minus the red peppers and onions!

Thursday

• Baked Chicken Parm and a green salad (unless my dear husband is all salad-ed out...)

Friday

• Baked Ziti and Spinach

We're doing very well so far with the Weight Watchers diet. We were both really surprised how much we are allowed to eat for so few points. I'm trying to get into the habit of planning out the whole week and making enough so we have leftovers.  That way things will be easier once school starts!

WW: Day 1!

Inspired by my dear sister in law, Sarah, I've decided to start Weight Watchers.  When I graduated from high school I was around 110 pounds. College, 120.  Now, not so much! I'd love to get back down to around 130 or so, but we'll see how this goes.  :)

Brian and I decided that there was no sense in both of us paying for WW.  We're trying to save money for a house, etc so I signed up and paid the $65 for three months. Since I do all the cooking, Brian will be doing the program by proxy. :) We had talked about starting yesterday, but I used all of my points at breakfast. So, we're starting today!!! :)

I made Chocolate Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins last night.  The recipe calls for them to be the standard muffin size, but I decided to make them mini. This cuts them down from 5 points each to 1 point.  We also bought lots of fruit, but need to go out and do a massive Weight Watchers grocery trip later.

For breakfast today I'm having sliced strawberries, two muffins and 8 ounces of 1% milk.  This adds up to 5 points.  I get 29 points per day, so this seems like an okay start.  I haven't been eating big lunches lately, so I'll have plenty of points for dinner and such later.


Now for some pictures!! :)
