So WW is going well so far. I got really fired up about meal planning for this week and it has definitely gone off without a hitch (well, except for one meal).
I posted photos of most of the meals to Instagram (lovelyladypilot) and I received many comments asking for recipes. One lovely lady named Stacey over at Blogs, Tea & Me suggested I start a recipe page here on my blog and I'm actually considering it!
Anyway, it's become pretty clear to me (AGAIN) how delicious being on WW can be, if you put the work into it and calculate the points that aren't already provided. Here are some photos of this week's dinner.
Monday
Veggie Pizza (Lauren's recipe, but modified for few points)
6 servings, 7 points per slice
Tuesday
Creamy Tomato Basil Soup (WW recipe)
6 servings, 3 points each
Pink Sauce (Homemade Marinara + store bought light Alfredo)
with Rigatoni Pasta
4 servings, 8 points each
Wednesday
Crystal Light Pink Lemonade
0 points per serving
Baked Macaroni and Cheese (WW recipe)
Major fail.
I've made this before with soy milk and it was gross,
but this time I made it with real milk and it was slightly better.
Still a major fail.
6 servings, 7 points per serving
Friday
Celebrating Cinco a day late with Bud Light, Black Bean Soup
and Potato Tacos
Bud Light
1 point per serving
Homemade pica de gallo
0 points per serving
Black Bean Soup (WW recipe)
4 servings, 3 points per serving
Absolutely delish
Potato tacos (my own recipe)
8 points for 3 tacos
Kids' size chocolate frosty for dessert
4 points per serving
Tomorrow I will be weighing in so I will either post my results on Sunday evening or Monday. Wish me luck!

I think you're beautiful, heart & soul, no matter what your weight. I can understand that you wish to remain in a healthy weight range, so long as it doesn't own you. Your last post was so honest & raw, yo yo dieting is so much beyond the food, i know you know that & have plenty of disappointing events in history (disappointing not quite the right word, but you know - sad, heart breaking, beyond your control type events) to fuel the yo yo, you'll get there, so many people's metabolisms & brain spaces change in their 30s too. Love Posie

@Stacey, I think I'm gonna do it! I haven't decided yet if I'm going to do it now or after my play is over. We'll see. I'm glad you tried the Nestle cookies! Aren't the so delish?
@Trine Marie, Awwwww thank you SO MUCH! <3
PLEASE start a recipe page because ALL of these recipes look so yummy. Especially that tomato basil soup...LOVE it.
Bud Light is only a point? Wow...I'm impressed. Ooooo and I love that Crystal Light Pink Lemonade stuff. It's my favorite flavor out of that whole bunch.
Keep up the great work friend! Looks like you're off to a wonderful start!
@Kasey, I think I will lady! Probably as soon as things settle down a bit on the schedule front. I know, when I found out recently that it's only 1 point I went nuts. I said to Dave, "This is gonna be a good summer." HA HA!
