Ok. So in case so of you haven't seen them, I just want to give a shout out to Hungry Girl. Her books are AMAZING! A friend of mine's mother lent me hers, and I've been hooked ever since.
Check out her books. Especially these two (below). They has such great stuff!
The 200 under 200 is PERFECT for those of us on Weight Watchers, and on her website she even posts the weight watchers points! How cool is that?
Anyways, Check them out!
Happy weight loss!

Girl scout cookies are the bane of my existence
Curse you Girl Scout cookies and your tasty-ness! You are the reason I GAINED a pound this week! Curse you!!!!
Ok. Now that I got that out of the way, I will admit that I did gain a pound this past week (weighing in on Wed.). However, when I stepped on the scale this morning (Friday) I already dropped about 2 lbs of that, so maybe it was just the wrong day to weight in. haha (Though I have been good these past 3 days).
Other than being bad and having a boat-load of Girl Scout cookies and wine, not a lot new to report.
It is kind of funny to see how many of my co-workers at the moment are on Weight Watchers, so we now all compare recipes and frozen dinner flavors. haha
We also finished up our Breakfast nook and I've been enjoying have quick meals while sitting in these cute green seats. Check out my post of the decor and stool redo over at my madcapfrenzy site.
Anyways, hopefully I can stick to being "good" the rest of the week, and have a fab. weigh in on next Wednesday.
Happy weight loss!

Down another two pounds!
So I know I'm really late posting, but this past week I'm down another 2 lbs, making me 0.2 lbs away from the 150 lb mark. Now, since that Wednesday, the rest of my week has been a rollercoaster of good and bad food, so who knows how the scale will react next week.
Turkey panini from La Villa, down the street. I only could eat half, so it was good to have for dinner later.
This place is my favorite!
Also, it is the dreaded Girl Scout Cookie time. ugh.
I love girl scout cookies, but the points...eek. I actually figured out how many Weight watchers points plus per cookie, and it is quite depressing. Check out this post I did a while back on the breakdown.
Basically 1 points plus per thin mint. ugh
My hubs made the BEST cupcakes ever- Moscato cupcakes with moscato cream cheese icing. So bad, yet so good. When he gets around to posting the recipe, I'll post it up too.
So the hubs and I went to Chili's after a long day of working on the house. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they now have a low-cal/healthy menu. They had skinny margaritas (below) and lots of other great choices for low calories (and low points!). I was sooooo happy!
To be honest, this skinny margarita was one of the best margarita's I've had in a long time
Margarita chicken with rice and beans. So good and filling, and not that bad point wise!
My hubs saw a ham and egg breakfast "muffin" so he thought he'd give it a shot for the first breakfast we had in our new breakfast nook (see my madcapfrenzy blog post on how that turned out). It was tasty, but we realized probably 2 slices of ham per "muffin" would hold together better.
Anyways, we showed off a new breakfast nook and dining room/bar with friends coming over, so my meals and eatting habits were terrible this weekend. Today wasn't very good either, as I just down right was hungry and felt icky...sadly after eatting more than I should, I feel even worse. blah.
I need to get back to exercising to make up.
*fingers crossed for a better rest of the week*
Happy weight loss.

eeek...cookies...but yay on weight loss
So today I lost another 2.2 lbs, making my grand total of loss since joining weight watchers at 24.8 lbs down! hooray! And with this, I celebrate with...girl scout cookies?!
Not really, but there was the dreaded but delectable cookies in the office today. With that, I thought I'd look up the points plus for all the different kinds of girl scout cookies. Check it out:
Girl Scout Cookies:
Best bang for your points:
So I snarfed down 2 peanut butter patties, and jotted down the dreaded 4 points of those two cookies, and now must re-arrange my dinner around it. haha
I guess I'll just have to eat a small dinner with lots of fruits tonight!
Happy weight loss everyone and *crossing fingers* for a good week again.
