Okay okay okay. Life happens. And it happens fast. I blinked and we were celebrating Lila Kate's first birthday. For real. She's 1. Wow.
I have been crazy busy with 19 kindergarteners. I also took on the task of getting my National Board certification in Literacy. Really, Pam? But I figured doing it now why Lila is so little, she won't remember the hours I spend typing locked up in the bedroom.
And my newest endeavor - Weight Watchers. I am admitting that I have not lost all of my baby weight. How embarrassing. There is no excuse. So on February 15 (yes the day after National Chocolate day) I went in for my first meeting, weighing a disgusting 212 pounds. Gross. Ewe. Uck. Those are the words that were flying through my head the whole meeting. I had let myself go long enough.
I embraced the Points+ system with open arms. I drank more water than I have like my entire life. I found lots of new recipes and cooked all week long. And it paid off.
-5.6
Can you believe that?? I lost more than 5 pounds in ONE WEEK!! AGH!! I am now 5 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight. I can do this. That is my mantra. I can so do this.
This week's menu:
Monday - Broccoli Quiche (5 points+)
Tuesday - Chicken "baseballs" (8 points+)
Wednesday - pork chops (points+ TBD)
Thursday - Creamy chicken and spinach (points+ TBD)
Friday - Chicken Spaghetti (7 points+)
