I can see clearly now the rain is gone......


So far, I have not fallen off the wagon. Things are good, I'm down a total of 11 pounds from when I originally started (before I got sick)and I'm growing to love turkey. LOL I know this may sound silly, but you can make a lot of good stuff with turkey.

Last week I had my first encounter with sweet Italian turkey sausage (much like a brat) and it tasted really damn good. Then I tried turkey burgers, also very yummy. Finally, this evening, I tried ground turkey and made it into tacos and am convinced I've been eating like a moron for a long time. It's not that hard to stay on track with Weight Watchers. Especially when there are so many yummy recipes out there. Granted I don't have all of the staples yet for a full blown healthy eating kitchen, but as I try new things, I'm getting there.

Next on my list is incorporating some exercise into my life to help speed up the weight loss. I bought a yoga DVD for power Pilate's and have yet to try it. I WILL find time among the other things I love to do so much like work, hang with Logan, do homework, write/read blogs, and play my online game. LOL I figure if I take it baby steps and concentrate on one thing at a time, it will be easier to incorporate the new stuff like more exercise at some point.

As discouraging as it seems since I don't have that much free time, as the pounds come off, I am feeling the burst of energy I should have at 27 come back to life. Today is a very optimistic day. Yay for wacky Wednesdays!

I think that is great! You are doing such a fabulous job. I'm on Weight Watchers too and it really is a life saver for me :) I haven't tried turkey burgers yet, but I'm very close to doing it :)

Brian: Thank you ;)

EC: Jennie-O makes the best ones. (Well at least that's what everyone tells me, and that was the only kind I tried and loved em.) ;)

You want to talk energy? I got up at 6 AM on a Saturday to go to my WW meeting. And it wasn't for lack of other options, I was just excited to get up and go. I'm a nerd.

Yay for you!! Congrats on the new habits and the success. It's fun to find new things that totally rock our WW worlds, isn't? And the progress keeps us going.

If you can find these in your local freezer section, I don't think you will be sorry.

I eat one every work day. Super yummy, super filling and only one point. A one point bagel. Unheard of.
