Wednesday Weigh-In

So, the blog has been silent for a couple of weeks. Things here have been steady. No ups or downs.

Highlight of the day -- the ladies in my Relief Society sent me a bouquet of flowers at work. I must say the women in my ward rock.

Let us in on our challenges and successes this week.

Weigh In Wednesday

I didn't post one of these last week because I didn't have a great weigh-in. That kind of breaks the rules -- so this week I'm being more accountable.

In the comments share your successes and challenges for the week.

One of my challenges is when I have free time, not completely wasting it, say on playing Freecell. I rarely have time just to myself and so I end up staying up way too late just so I can de-stress. I either watch stupid movies or play Freecell on the computer while watching stupid movies. I think my life runs much better when I get enough sleep but it's a challenge. What are some of your techniques for getting more sleep? (And techniques for getting a toddler who started waking up in the middle of the night to stop?)

Wednesday Weigh-In

Well Sisters, it is that time of the week again. It is getting really cold here and that is sapping my motivation a little bit. But, I'm going to email some women who live in my apartment complex now to ask them if they want to work out with me in the apartment rec room tonight. That will give me some accountably and someone to talk to while running.

If you want to, share your successes and challenges for the week and weigh-in.

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.
