Wednesday Weigh-In

It is that time of the week to check our progress and see how things are going. In the comments you can weigh-in and tell us about your successes and challenges for the week.

I thought I would post some of my favorite breakfasts that are healthy and filling. I will include the Weight Watcher point totals if you are Point Trackers like me.

Apple Oatmeal -- 5pts

• ½ cup old fashioned oatmeal (2pts) cooked with water. Don’t bother with instant, it doesn’t have as much fiber and this is just as fast.
• I add a sprinkle of Splenda (0pts), dash of cinnamon (0pts), and five squirts of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” spray (0pts).
• Then I core and dice up an entire small/medium apple (1pt) and stir it in.
• I drink 1 cup of skim or 1% milk (2pts) with it.

English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich – 5pts

• Open a whole wheat English muffin (2pts) and place it on a tin-foil lined cookie sheet.
• Lay 1 serving of sliced turkey or low fat ham (1pt) on the muffin and,
• Sprinkle ¼ cup reduced fat cheese (2pts) on the halves.
• Put it in the oven till the cheese melts and it is warmed up.
• Put the sides together and eat like a sandwich (in the car on the way to work as I often do.
