I hit a great milestone in my Weight Watchers journey, I have lost 10% of my body weight. I am super happy. This moves me even closer to my goal.
 Last night we had Turkey Meatloaf for dinner with baked sweet potato and green beans. My family seemed to like it even better this time. The meatloaf was cut into 6 pieces making each piece 4 points for Weight Watchers Points Plus.  Find the recipe here.
 Progress on the job search. I have three interviews next week. Moving on to better things. Speaking of better things, I feel like each day of this journey has brought better things into my life. My husband has decided to join me and is doing Weight Watchers as well. My family is trying new things that I never dreamed they would enjoy. I have removed our deep fryer from the kitchen. I have felt more empowered everyday by the healthy choices I am making.
 I have come to realize that this isn't a quick fix, I will not loose all the weight I need to and be done with dieting. This is a new way of living. Making mindful choices to do good things for myself and my family. I can only hope I continue to be successful and this way of life becomes second nature. I don't envision myself running a marathon, but I can see a more healthful me ahead.

First Weekend In November

My work schedule was for late in the week. Sadly the small ICU/Telemetry unit I am working at is closing. I was hoping to be at my little hospital for years.  : (
Sunday dinner today was great and a low point main dish. I made a new recipe, Panko Chicken using my creative flow for the greater good.
Monday the job search starts again. Wish me luck!

November 3, 2011

Spent the late afternoon, yesterday winterizing the yard. Also earned some Weight Watchers activity points in the process. It was hard to believe I was mowing in November. I am hoping that is the last time we have to mow until spring.

The Creamy Crock Pot Chicken Stew for dinner last night was good. Very comforting and filling. The family enjoyed it so, I will make it again. I will however omit the one cup of water that I listed in the ingredients. (I have all ready removed it from the recipe I posted.)

I had a question from one of my readers I would like to address. The reader asked if I had any side dishes with my "What's for Dinner" postings? For now I have not added side dishes. For our family the biggest challenge is picking the main entree. Our sides are usually pretty simple, a veggie and a rice, or a cooked veggie with a salad. I figure once you pick the star of the show the supporting cast should fall into place.  If you have any suggestions for side dishes let me know I'd love to try them and add them.

Finally, I have added some Besties and Bombs to the "Besties and Bombs" tab. I have also added some Low Point Favorites to the list. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
