Hello to everyone!

Hope everyone is doing great. Just got home from a bike ride. Only went 8 miles no hills tonight. I had walked this am for 30 mins. Legs were a little tired tonight. Killed a snake. Made the daughter cry because I killed a baby snake!!

Yesterday I rode my bike 25 miles including hills and walked for 35 min briskly.

I am doing fantastic with the exercise but the eating can be my downfall. I just am terrible with my vegetates but do great with the cookies.

I ate 3 homemade choc chip cookies at work today. Why ?? Because I looked at them,obsessed over them and caved. Could I eat one. NO!!!!

It's a lot less than what I would typically lose after week one induction of Atkins. I normally lost about 7lbs after one week of Atkins.

great job!!

We missed you. glad you're back.

I am NOT a number on a scale!!!!! I need to remember that.

I have a question for all you Flexers. How many points would you count a 4 cup mixed green salad as? How many points do you count the Wishbone spray (1 serv. @ 10 sprays/10 cals/.5 fat). How many points would you count 2 servings as?

I will tell you what I assumed after I hear what you have to say.

congrats on the loss, I would counted it as 1point for the salad, and .5 for the dressing. 2

Yes I'm squeezing in 18s...I'm so over them!! I want single digits in my life!!!!

talking about points, I went down again today. What is up w./ 20points. I haven't hit the 21 hardly. I have to use my AP's. guess that is how WW gets us to exercises more. Keep taking away the points so you have to get AP's to stop from starving.

Went over my weekly points by 24.5, when you include today's festivities and Friday's blowout and Chili's. Ah well - I have finals and yada yada yada - just gonna make it a point to try to keep working out and record everything I eat, no matter how much it is!

I would love a beer, but the last time I drank, I stalled. I'm saving it for another weekend at the lodge. the first weekend in june.

Thanks babbs, I'm soooo excited. I haven't been in my 140's in 7 years, and it has been easy. I would never imagine I could have done it by following points. This is great!

Thanks everyone, you are all great.

I just got the new hungry girl book and I like it but I'm pizzed because it doesn't list points. You have to figure em on your own with the nutritional stats or go to the website. Sheesh, musty be a legal thing or something!

I would be mad too, don't they endorse her? I think she's on the ww site

This is a quinoa recipe for a breakfast food or a treat. I subscribe to this recipe website called 101 cookbooks. She ,makes the most amazing natural foods! It is so worth checking out for all you peeps that enjoy cooking. This should be CORE, but the recipes doesn't have points or calories or anything like that. They are just whole foods, good and natural stuff. I wish I cooked more, I would love this stuff!

Here is the site Warm and Nutty Cinnamon Quinoa Recipe - 101 Cookbooks

Warm and Nutty Cinnamon Quinoa Recipe

I used a red quinoa here, but you can use whatever kind you like, white/buff colored seems to be the most common. Also, a few notes and tips from the book: low-fat soy milk may replace the low fat milk, blueberries may replace the blackberries, dark honey may replace the agave nectar, and walnuts may replace the pecans.

1 cup organic 1% low fat milk
1 cup water
1 cup organic quinoa, (hs note: rinse quinoa)
2 cups fresh blackberries, organic preferred
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted*
4 teaspoons organic agave nectar, such as Madhava brand

Combine milk, water and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat; let stand covered 5 minutes. Stir in blackberries and cinnamon; transfer to four bowls and top with pecans. Drizzle 1 teaspoon agave nectar over each serving.

Serves 4.

*While the quinoa cooks, roast the pecans in a 350F degree toaster oven for 5 to 6 minutes or in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes.

I do this all the time Babbs.

This is why I feel so adamant about making this a lifestyle change for me. I used to gain and lose the same 30 lbs every winter and lose it every spring by exercising. Since I got sick I can't do that anymore.

I want the day to come where I will be able to have just one cookie but that day is not now, so I am working on it. Maybe you can try to keep the junk out of the house and steer clear from it at work for a few weeks till you get your bearings. Then try to have just one of something, sit down and make a whole experience of it.
