A weight watchers update.

I admitted last week that I didn't want to go weigh in at weight watchers because I didn't want to face the reality of gaining 2.8 lbs the week I was gone to Grand Junction. Not wanting to be a total chicken, I determined I would definitely weigh-in this week and face the music.

Two weeks ago, I weighed 148.

Last week, I would have weighed 150.8.

This week, I weighed 149.

So, I'm heading back in the right direction and I'm determined to do my best to lose this last 4 lbs before the end of the month. If I can get to my goal weight before going on the cruise, I'm hoping this will be the motivating factor to keep me from stuffing myself silly! We're planning on taking a bunch of our workout clothes (and actually using them in the gym and in the pool) so that we feel justified to splurge a bit on all that yumminess!

I wanted to share a tip for a healthy meal. At Costco, you can get a bag of individually wrapped, frozen tilapia loins (that's fish for those of you like me who had never heard of tilapia until last month - I know, pathetic). As far as fish goes, this is a VERY mild flavored fish. They are so easy to cook... just spray on a little bit of that fake butter stuff and sprinkle with some lemon pepper, pop it in the oven for 20ish minutes and, voila! YUMMY! I like to eat it with a bunch of steamed vegetables with some season salt on there. I made this last night (ended up eating the fillet I cooked for Paul - he went and got a burrito) and then went for it again for lunch today! I'm always excited to find really HEALTHY food that tastes really yummy and is beyond easy to make. Eating a whole meal of guilt-free food is so satisfying!

Great tip about the tilipia. I like easy, especially when I am just cooking for myself. Sometimes when I am trying to eat healthy, I don't want to be bothered cooking something, so I end up just grabbing and orange, then later something else, then later something else, because I'm not satisfied. I need to have a arsenal of quick/easy/healthy meals that I can go to.

PS, you are doing great.
