Weight Watchers worked really well for me years ago after my son was born so I signed up to get back on the plan. They have a new program which is a bit different than what I remember but it's still the basic idea of each food being assigned a point value and based on your weight you're given a maximum number of points you can eat each day.
I signed up last week but took the weekend to plan some meals and clear out my fridge so today is my Day 1. (If I'm honest I actually was waiting to get through Easter and all the good candy before I started!)
My most loved breakfast is Red River cereal which is like oatmeal but has a nuttier flavor. It's a blend of Wheat, Rye and Flax and it's delicious. The reason I like Weight Watchers so much is that I can continue to eat some of my favorite things and I don't feel like I'm giving up all the good stuff. As long as you count your points you're good!
I took to Pinterest to plan lunch and found Breakfast Scrambled Egg Pizza
By the time I drive home from work and take the dogs out I don't have a lot of time to cook before my lunch break is over and I need to head back to work so this was an easy, quick idea.
Dinner is going to be Moo Shu Beef, another quick easy recipe. We're still working on our house reno's so anything I can cook fast after work and get out to the new place is what I'm after these days!
Planning meals is a huge things for me. I've tried to plan on the fly and come up with ideas a few hours before I have to cook but that sets me up for failure. My goal by the end of April is to be in the habit of having a week worth of meals planned out the Sunday before. Sounds to me like a good reason to spend more time on Pinterest!
