Sign Me Up

I'll be 27 in a few days. Our baby girl will be 1 year old in just a couple months. And I still need to lose a few more pregnancy pounds. (Actually, most of my ready to shed weight is all me - only 5 of them are baby.) So I joined Weight Watchers yesterday because I am ready to take control of my eating habits. The gym is easy for me; okay the working out is way hard, but it's become a habit in my life. It's the eating small portions and not snacking (binging) that is a challenge.

As for Day 1, it's been good so far. I like keeping track of my points - I love making lists. And I've only been hungry 17 times. Just kidding. Well, not really. I have been rather hungry today. I've got to find more filling foods to eat. I made the Garden Veggie Soup (which is 0 points) and put together a couple yummy snacks, so over all, I'm hopeful.

You have to try this snack - yum O!

Creme Filled Grahams
A fancy way of saying put 2 T. of fat free cool whip between two graham squares and freeze! Only 2 points each!

Woo!

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
