Still going strong!

I have been doing Weight Watchers for about 7 weeks now and I am down, as of this morning, ten pounds.  Woo hoo!  I got a little slack about posting my progress but after my last post I thought I would be up instead of down.  Turns out I was still down that week.  Things are going great!  For the most part, things are pretty easy.  This past weekend I went to the beach and tried to be good.  Saturday night I had some yummy pasta my friend made and I didn't count the points for that.  It would have been impossible to figure out.  But I was down on Monday anyway.  Awesome! 

I'm constantly looking online for recipes for me to add to my collection.  It is so hard with my limited choices to find something to eat.  I seem to eat the same things over and over.  The one thing in life I can not and will not live without is peanut butter.  My all time favorite food is peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Peanut butter contains quite a bit of fat, even though it's the healthy fat, but still contains quite a few points.  I discovered a wonderful peanut butter from another blog, pbfingers.com (Imagine that), and immediately ordered it.  For two tablespoons it is only one point.  And even better I found a store locally that sells it.  The first batch I bought online from the website (bellplantation.com) but now that I have found it locally I don't have to pay shipping.  Score! 

With this wonderful discovery, I'm eating peanut butter everyday.  Yep.  It's the one food I do not get tired of.  Some days I eat it for breakfast and lunch, other days, just lunch. 

Recently I also discovered another peanut butter called "Better'n Peanut Butter" that is sold at Trader Joe's.  Luckily there is a Trader Joe's near by.  It's 2 points + for two table spoons.  Still not bad.  Not bad at all!

Most of the time I eat the same thing each day for breakfast and lunch, with small variations.  But supper time is when I change it up and try to find new things to eat.  I have a few options I haven't tried yet but are on my list.  They involve huge portabella mushroom caps.  I'm loving me some mushrooms lately. 

I'm feeling really good about myself, with losing these 10 pounds and I am still highly motivated to keep going.  My mother has gotten on board now too.  She's having success and we're enjoying doing this together.
