Weigh-in Monday

O.K I really haven't posted recipes since restarting Weight Watchers again. So here is my first. Maybe I'll do better this week. This is a recipe I came up with on my own, but most of the time I find most of my recipes online. I am not a breakfast person, but I really like this one.

1/2 cup of egg whites
green peppers and fresh tomatoes; chopped
1 small can of mushrooms
3 slices of turkey pepperoni
1/2 oz. of reduced fat cheddar cheese; grated
salt and pepper to taste

Saute peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, and pepperoni in a small frying pan with Pam. Season with salt and pepper. Spread veggies in pan and pour egg whites on top. Sprinkle with cheese. Place in the oven and bake at 350 until egg is firm. I then put it on broil for just a minute to brown the cheese a little. mmmmm....good. This recipe only as 140 cal, 3 grams of fat, and 1 fiber. 3 WW points.

This is so easy and you can add or substitute any items like turkey bacon, onions, or whatever you like.

*Weight lost to date......5 pounds!

This is Not a New Year's Resolution

I really dislike New Year's resolutions. It seems as though I just am setting myself up for failure. Every year it is almost always losing weight and exercising more. This is also the most common resolution for most of the women I know. Well...it seems like I always struggle with weight and each year I make the same resolution.

Well, two years ago, I decided NOT to make a resolution. Then a friend asked me to attend a Weight Watchers meeting with her. She wanted to try it, but didn't want to do it alone. I thought why not give it a try. This was not a New Year's resolution, but just being there for a friend. Well, I loved it! I lost every single week. By May, I had lost 32 pounds and was feeling great. It was the easiest weight loss, I had ever had. Weight Watchers works! Then.........I became pregnant! Surprise...Surprise! Here I go again. Every time I get pregnant, have the baby......I gain back the weight and hold on to it for about a year.

I can't use the "I just had a baby excuse anymore." I find myself really wanting to take off this weight. I felt so great dropping the pounds and I have so many spring clothes that I can't wear. I've decided I am NOT making a New Year's resolution but simply starting Weight Watchers again. The only difference is that I really can't afford to attend the meetings so I am going to do this on my own. I have the points calculator and my books. The hardest part I think is holding myself accountable to the weigh-ins. I'm thinking about letting hubby be my weigh-in person.

I do have a lot of friends who are going to do Weight Watchers too, on their own. And one, who will be attending meetings. Anybody doing WW or know of an online blog support group? I'm thinking the more the support the better. My goal is to share one recipe a week on my blog and any tips that work for me. Feel free to join the fun!
