45 Second Oatmeal cookie

I got this from another friend, it's not my idea. I can't have the credit!!
It taste more liked baked Oatmeal and I find it really delicious!! It is filling and pretty big!

Here is the recipe:

Combine all ingredients in a microwave bowl
*1/4 cup of oatmeal
*1/8 liquid egg whites
*2 teaspoons of brown sugar
*2 teaspoons of flour
*1/4 teaspoons of vanilla extract
*1/4 of baking powder
*raisins or chocolate chips
*cinnamon to taste.

All the ingredients!




\

All ready to go in the microwave.



The final product, sorry for the crappy picture

Mix all ingredients in the bowl and scrap down sides and microwave for 45 seconds. Caution it's hot, flip out of bowl and enjoy!!


Notes: This was the first time that I made it with chocolate chips and really did taste good.

Weigh In Results!

*If you are reading this blog please add me as a follower, I only have 3 followers*

Today was my Weigh in, I was really not sure what to expect this week on the scale. I over ate a lot of "snacks" this week, I mean not bad "snacks" just 2 point snacks here and there through out the week.

I stood on the scale and it said:

-3lbs!!

I am in shock. I didn't do one exercise this week, which is really bad. Hopefully I can hit 80 pounds next week. I have to lose 1.6 to get there.

Stayed tuned for my 45 second oatmeal cookie review.

Weekend Blah!!

I feel like CRAP! Yes TOM is here, and well it always unmotivates me to do anything.That including exercising and cleaning the house!

Besides feeling like crap, I did have a great day/night with my husband. We went to the movies and saw It's Complicated! Pretty funny actually, highly recommend it.
Then we went to Boston Pizza, could of passed on that really.I really didn't care for it.

Well off to make a run to the grocery store to get food for dinner and lunches!

My starting point on Weight Watchers!

*PLEASE IF YOU READ THIS BLOG CAN YOU FOLLOW ME, I ONLY HAVE TWO FOLLOWERS*

I walked through the door at 7pm on June 9, 2009! My friend and I purposely went at that time because we knew that the meeting was going to be over at that time.I couldn't go to Weight Watchers without my friend, we walked through the door knowing that our lives were probably going to change for the good.

We signed up and then we both stepped on the scale. Well I wasn't sure if I knew what the number was going to read. I knew that I was well over 200 pounds. I knew that I was probably over 220 pounds. Well the scale said 259.6! I was in shock, and I was mortify and embarrassed all at the same time.I couldn't believe that I weighed that much. If I didn't go to Weight Watchers I probably wouldn't have a clue in how much I weighed.

I started my journey on Weight Watchers on that day.

I go to Weight Watchers every week. I never miss a week unless I am away on vacation. I attend the meetings everyweek. I find them motivating and everyone in that room is there for the same place.

I have a few pics of me before!

This was me in the Dominican Republic 2 weeks after I started WW!






This is me I think I was 20 pounds down!


It's hard to look at these pictures, I can't believe I used to look like this!

Today I went to my Weigh In. When I stepped on the scale it read:



Down 1.8 pounds!!

Could of been better, I never lost the gain that I had last week. But the scale is moving in the right direction.

Today we were talking about Moving More, to me it's not a problem to get exercise in.My problem is getting there and not giving an excuse not to go to the gym or to go down in my basement and use my treadmill.

Two things I am going to work on this week:

Tracking
Three days of exercise!

Have a great day!

Sunday love!

I LOVE,LOVE Sundays.

Usually my husband I spend the day just lazing around the house. He watches football all day, I usually cook a great meal so that we have leftovers for tomorrow.

Today I went to the gym. I had a KILLER workout today. I was on the treadmill for one hour. That is the most I have ever done on a treadmill. I was doing intervals running with inclines. I felt so great when I got done and I actually still feel pretty good.

This week I also got a new kitchen gadget. I got a garlic press. Yes most of you might already have one, but I didn't so I bought one.I love garlic and I hate chopping it. I made a marinade with garlic and I have also made meatballs today and used my garlic press. My husband hates garlic so I can only put it in things that I am going to eat. Did I mention that I an overload garlic freak!

I am off to watch some tv.

Be back on Tuesday to report my Weigh In results!!

Weekday update!

Well it is two days since my WI on Tuesday, thought that I would post how I am doing so far on the week. I would give myself a 5/10.

Yesterday I had the day off, which I think I drank 4 cans of pop. Yes it was Diet Coke. But why couldn't I just reach for water instead.

I did manage to get one workout in, but none today. I had such a tiring day at work, I just was too tired to go, but I am definitely going tomorrow! MARK MY WORDS!!!

Post back in a couple of days to tell you how I am doing!!

WI results!

Well I went to the dreaded WI,I knew that I was going to be up, I could feel it. Plus I track my bodly schedule and I knew it was coming.

So I stepped on the scale and it said :

Up 3.4 lbs



I know next week this weight will be off, it is just disappointing that I am up this week but there is nothing that I can do.

On to other news, I also received my 75lb charm for my keychain. I thought I was going to get a ribbon also, like I did for my 50lbs but I guess not.

I also went to the gym after WW and did 50 mins on the treadmill.

Weekly goals!

Well I know that I am going to be up in weight tomorrow in WI.There is nothing I can do about it ,except it and just focus on this week so that next week I will have a great WI.

Here is plan:

• To track 100% ~NO EXCUSES~
• To exercise 3 times this week, hopefully 4 times
• To get in all my healthy eating guidelines for the week.
• To get my water in. At least 2 litres a day.

I will check in tomorrow and tell you how my dreaded WI in went. Hopefully I will get my ribbon.

Just a few things on sunday!

First of all this has not been my week. I know that I am bloated. I get like this every 4 weeks. I hate it, I know I did great with my eating and then when I step on the scale on tuesday it will be terrible. But then I know that next week the bloat goes down.

Secondly I bought this magazine pictured on the left hand side. It has some really good recipes in it. There are few things that I want to make. The one thing that I don't like about this magazine is a lot of the ingredients are American. So sometimes it is hard to make the recipe exactly.

Thirdly this week I vow to myself to get back in a regular exercise regiment. I love the way I feel after I exercise. I know that it helps in my in my weight loss and especially on the scale. Check back with me to see how I am doing.

Fourth I am making a delicious homemade chicken soup. I haven't done this before. I didn't have a whole chicken, but I decided to use four chicken breast,skin on and bone in, instead. It is simmering right now.

Not the greatest week so far!

Well this week, hasn't been a great week. Yes I had a great WI on Tuesday but since then I haven't felt the greatest. I just feel like I am in a slump. And I am not sure why?I am still eating properly and tracking. I just have no motivation to get any exercise in. I know that I need exercise if I want the scale to co-operate with me.



Hopefully I will get over my slump this weekend and get some exercise in!!!

Tracking!

Tracking as always been one of my biggest challenges with Weight Watchers.Yes ofcourse like every new Weight Watcher's member you are the greatest tracker out there,then you tend to do it 75% of the time, then it gets down to 50% followed by 25% then down to 0 % . That is where I am right now at 0%.

So this year, I am making it one of my goals to track everyday! I even went and bought the 3 month tracker at Weight Watchers today. It is a big challenge for me, but I know that I can do it.I leave it on my kitchen counter so that Ican see it when I am preparing my meals.

In our meeting on Tuesday we learned why it was important to track, well we all know that it produces better loss on the scale, but it also makes you accountable for things going into your mouth.

The saying they use is:

BITE IT, WRITE IT!

I will be rehearsing that in my head when I am putting food in my mouth.

Weigh in Results!

Well today I weigh in at Weight Watchers.

When I stepped on the scale it said:



Down 2.4 pounds!!!
Making it 77 pounds lost!!!


A little bit of a rant here--
They never acknowledge it, they never gave me my ribbon! And I was looking forward to getting it. I wanted to post it with my 50 pound ribbon on my fridge. Granted yes my usual leader was not there and my normal receptionist was not there!

End of rant!!

The meeting today was all about tracking. Yes I will admit this is my biggest weakness. So I caved in and bought a 3 month tracker. I vow to myself to track everyday!!

On to a new week for me!

Little bit about myself!

Well I thought that I would write an post about myself.I am really hoping that this blog will really help with to lose the last 25 pounds to get to 100 pounds lost. Lets hope that tomorrow, I can finally hit 75 pounds. Since I never hit it last week.



About me:



I started dating my DH in the year of 2000. I weighed my lowest that I can remember. 147 pounds. Well we all know what happens when you start a relationshp, you eat out ALOT. And that is what we did, and I mean we ate out ALOT. And then ofcourse there is the late night snacks.

I knew that I was gaining the weight, but I knew that I should of looked at my weight before it got to the point of where it was. Yes I did try a few times in losing weight but ofcourse I never stuck with it.

Fast forward to 2007, got engaged, I knew that I wanted to lose weight, but still didn't do anything about it.I still enjoyed life through food.
Finally on June 9,2008 I joined Weight Watchers. It was one of my best decisions of my life.
In the last year and half I changed my life completely with my eating habits and exercising. I have learned great things through Weight Watchers.

Hopefully tomorrow at my weigh in, I will hit 75 pounds lost.

I will check in tomorrow with my WI results.
