Last week, we both thought that we had messed up pretty bad with our eating, which was all my fault. Before I cook, I normally figure the points out--don't want to go over my points. Anyways one night I made cream cheese mashed potatoes. I used lite cream cheese and skim milk. My thinking was the points can't be that bad.
After dinner my husband figured the points up and JUST the potatoes were 19 points! I about passed out when he told me that! Seriously! I got light headed and that deep, sinking feeling Set in and I literally felt like, well poop!
Needless to say I was dreading our weigh in. We weighed in this past Saturday and I was down 2.6 pounds (happy dance did take place on the scales!) and my husband was down another 3 pounds. He is at a milestone---a 25 pounds milestone!
The leader presented him with a washer (a very manly gift, ya know!) that had 25 lbs on it, if you see him out, ask him to let you see it. I am so proud of him!
One discussion that took place at our meeting was about walking the upcoming 5K, which is kind of funny, because the place that the 5K is taking place at is the same place that we walked last weekend! Neat Huh?
Recipe this week is Lemon Broccoli
We love broccoli, we usually eat it steamed. A friend of mine suggested that I try it with lemon, so when it was almost done, I squeezed the juice of one lemon on it and let it finish cooking--nothing fancy, but it was good!
