Weight Watchers Foods




Weight Watchers Rocks! They have a variety of Foods that are sold in grocery stores. These foods are lifesaving for me because I NEED to snack. Especially when I'm at work or stuck at home in a snow storm like I am right now. Most of the Weight Watchers Snacks are either 1 or 2 points. Their Carrot Cakes are deeeelicious and they are sweet which really helps me with my sweet tooth. 


I have also noticed how I don't have the need to eat like I used to. Lately time can go by if I'm keeping busy and I have forgotten to eat. I love that! To forget to eat? Me? LOL Who woulda thunk it. The baddest part is sometimes at work I forget to eat Breakfast and that's not good since they say Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

 

They have Weight Watchers Cakes and Cookies!! I tried both of these tonight and they are good. The Carrot Cakes are one of my favorites. And they are so sweet, you need to eat em with a full glass of water which helps with my water intake. Win-Win.




And Weight Watchers Ice Cream and Ice Cream Sandwiches. I can't wait to try these. Yum!











I bought these Weight Watcher Mini Bars at my Weight Watchers Weekly Meeting. I love the Red Velvet Bars, they are sweet and good. I haven't tried the Chocolate Caramel Mini Bars yet but I'll let you know how those are when I give them a try.






and last but not least the Weight Watchers Yogurt. I wanted Blueberry but they didn't have so I figured I would try these and pray I like em. I'll let you know later on......
The flavors I got were Black Cherry, Vanilla and Berries & Cream.





At work I have these Cheddar Twists that I snack on. They are very good too and for people who would rather have salty snacks than sweet, they are perfect. 



I also have these Candies that I also got at my Weekly meeting. I keep these in my purse so I have em at all times. They only cost about $2.00 or so.


I'm gonna say it again....Weight Watchers Rocks! They have such a variety of foods, snacks, etc that you can eat and have to keep you from messing up....I love it! I was on Weight Watchers before years ago but they have really stepped up their game since then. I am glad to be part of their plan again and to losing all my weight. Til next time.........

Blame it on the Apple Juice



This is too cute....Jamie Foxx singing "Blame it on the Apple Juice" on Jay Leno Show.







Sorry I'm so Late!


I have to get better at making sure I type on this blog everyday. It's 4 days now since my last post. I truly apologize for those who read it. LOL (AS IF) Anywho, I am nervous about weighing in tomorrow. I hope I have lost again. I don't expect to get the same big numbers I got last week but I hope it's at least 3 pounds. 
I'm eating Tangerines as I'm typing this. I find myself getting really busy at work and forgetting to eat Breakfast, 
I have to stop doing that. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I usually eat a couple pieces of fruit but for the last 2 or 3 days I've been forgetting to eat it. 

I will update everyone on my weight loss tomorrow. I'm praying it doesn't snow cause if it does, I won't be able to go and I really don't wanna miss it. I haven't exercised much at all this week. I've used some of my weekly points but not all. Will probably have Mackerel for Dinner like I did last night. And a Pineapple for a snack. 

Til tomorrow! See ya....

I am a Evil B*tch when I'm Hungry!


Tonight was NOT a good night for me. I've been having to spend $$ on unexpected events and that doesn't make me too happy. Yesterday I came home from church and the sewage had backed up into my Laundry Room. It made me sick to my stomach. I almost threw up. Hubby called Roto Rooter and they came out and fixed it for almost $500.  Glad it's fixed but not glad that I had to spend all that money.

Tonight I come home from work and my kitchen floor is flooded. I'm thinking another backup or a broken garbage disposal. I didn't know what had happened. All I can think of is us having to spend another couple of hundred dollars to get something else fixed or replaced and that made me very irritated.

To top it all off, I haven't eaten dinner yet. With all this going on it is stressing me out and with stress comes the need for me to eat. My husband didn't cook dinner until late because of all that is going on and I get more and more evil by the minute. I want something sweet, A donut, A slice of cake....something. But I can't have anything because I only have like 14 points left to eat my dinner. I lay down and fall asleep to keep myself from eating that which I know I shouldn't. I become so evil that hubby actually tells me to go get something. LOL He just doesn't want to deal with me in this irritated state.

Hubby tries to talk to me, I don't wanna talk. All I want to do is eat. I become one evil b*tch. I realize that Food is extremely important to me when I am stressed and when I can't get it, I get really upset. I have to figure out a way to control my emotions and not to connect them to food. Once Dinner was ready and I began to eat, I felt better. Completely better. What is that? The food was like a drug and I was getting high.
Crazy right? I know. Why does Food make me feel better? I have no idea.


All I can say is when I'm hungry, I become one evil b*tch. Til next time....

The Importance of Exercise!


The importance of exercise (any kind will do).

If you are not used to exercising, here are some tips that may help:
1.    Exercise comes in many flavors.  What it really comes down to is two kinds:
a.    The kind where you exercise your cardiovascular system (aerobic)
b.    The kind where you exercise your muscles (anaerobic)
2.    Each form of exercise is beneficial.
3.    The important thing is to do something.  Whether it’s 30 minutes on the treadmill, or 5 minutes of stretching in between your favorite TV shows, as the saying goes… it’s all good!
4.    The whole point is to keep moving.  Any type of exercise, even housework, stretching, parking the car in a spot farther away, is exercise that burns calories.
5.    And of course more burned calories means faster weight loss.
6.    Now I am not saying that you should not do cardio exercise.  Don’t mistake me on that.  The goal for anyone even the most couchiest of couch potato’s is to start somewhere.

Note: Remember, before you change your lifestyle and start ANY exercise program ALWAYS consult a Doctor.

I LOST 12 POUNDS!!!



Went to my Weight Watchers Meeting on Saturday and I lost 12 pounds....count em....12! I was in shock. I had her weigh me twice just to make sure. LOL The lady said that because I was just starting out is probably the reason why I lost so much but to not expect that kind of weight loss every week.

I was so happy that I had lost that much. I figured I had lost maybe 5 or 6 but I never thought it would be that much. I am ecstatic. Weight Watchers is awesome. The 1st couple of days were the hardest and I even got a hunger headache but I've learn to snack whenever I get hungry. I eat what Weight Watchers calls Filling Foods, which are mostly Fruits and Vegetables but there are a few other things too. I have learned to love eating fruit for Breakfast. Since I'm not much of a breakfast person during the week it's pretty easy for me.


Weight Watchers is so cool because it doesn't restrict me from eating anything. I got a delivery of Krispy Kreme doughnuts this past weekend and I didn't even eat one. I gave em to my kids. I can't lie, I so wanted one but I didn't give in. I LOVE SWEETS! That is my biggest issue.......cakes, pies, cookies, etc.

I will keep you updated on my Weight Loss from week to week. I even was able to have Pizza Hut Pizza on Weight Watchers. Still haven't been able to get my Exercise program on though. I'll get it in somehow. Can't keep losing weight without some form of Exercise program. I really need a trainer but I can't afford it. Will have to make do for now. Hubby and I were supposed to join a gym but we have yet to do that.



My coworker, her sister & mother are supposed to start Weight Watchers and my sister is thinking about it. That will help me to have a good support group. I have to make sure to keep snacks on me at all times. And I keep water with me constantly too. I don't wanna give myself a reason to mess up. One of my favorite sweet snacks are the Weight Watcher Red Velvet Bars. They satisfy my sweet tooth and they are only 1 point. Thank God for Weight Watcher Snacks and Foods. They save my life! LOL Til next time....
