Shopping, Cooking, and Facebook...Oh My!!

Woohoo! Today I hit the grocery store and stocked up on some WW Power Foods! I am set for breakfasts, lunches and snacks!! Dinners may be a little tougher but I think I'll be fine. :) For lunch this week, I made a delicious Taco Soup that I found on Brooke: Not On A Diet. She had FABULOUS success on Weight Watchers and I now consider her one of my heroes!! My only change to the soup was that I added a pound of ground turkey so it looks more like a chili than a soup. Nonetheless it is soup-er yummy and I highly recommend that you scoot over to Brooke's site and try it out!!


For the rest of my meals and snacks, I purchased some lite breads, 94% fat free popcorn, frozen fruits, yogurt, etc. So excited to be able to eat without counting points!! I think I actually ate less the last two days than I normally would! Woot! Woot!

So...Facebook. I have a private, personal account that I use to keep up with old and new friends. I love to follow other bloggers and finally decided that I'd create a page for me and my blog. I'm not sure that I really have any followers but I do seem to have quite a few hits to my page so who knows? Anyway, if you want to check out my Brand New Amy blog FB page, I'd love to have you! Remember, I'm still a baby blogger so there may not be a lot of fabulous things on there but I'm learning!!!

Starting Over - Again.

I have been on a roller coaster this past school year and I cannot get my act together. My motivation is null. I know that in order to truly get my life in order, it has to come from within. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find that internal motivation. It is so frustrating. I've missed my last two WW meetings due to other commitments and I know that is half my battle. The other have is definitely my lack of motivation. I need to change that. Where do I begin? Here. WHY do I want to lose weight? GOOD HEALTH: My cholesterol keeps creeping up on me. My latest overall score? 234. That is the highest it has been and I know that with diet and exercise I can drop that number WAY down. MY DAUGHTERS: My husband and I are both overweight. We were not always this way but after we graduated from high school and started making bad choices, the weight crept on and hasn't left. I don't want my daughters to follow in our footsteps. I want them to learn good eating and exercise habi...

Dusting this thing off and trying again!

I’m honestly not sure what the draw is to blogging for me. It definitely isn’t the “money” as I pretty much don’t have any followers (and if I do, I thank you!) and literally have ZERO sponsors but I think for me it is a form of journaling and that may be the draw. Last night as I was winding down from the day, I decided to give WW another try. I’d been paying for their services for awhile and when I “work the program” I have a lot of success. However, I’ve been avoiding the program for about an month and have had no success...go figure. My goal is to give WW one more month, follow it as best as I can, and reevaluate my situation then. I’m choosing to do the Purple Plan because I feel like that is the best one for me, at the moment. Right now I need more zero point options and this plan has the most. I preplanned breakfast and lunch, both zero points, which leaves me with 16 points for dinner. My goal is to only use 12 so that 4 will carry over giving me a little bumper for my upcoming...

WW...still and again!

Here we go...again. I've tried WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers) over and over and over again. July 28, 2018 I committed to starting again and taking it seriously. By January 1, 2019, I was down 15 lbs. from July and 20 lbs. over all. I made it through the holidays but unfortunately, I didn't make it through the new year. My will came crashing down and the weight is slowly going back on. Well, I've decided to take to blogging again hoping to find my will and motivation and get back up again. Here I go!!!
