I have been on Weight Watchers 1 week today. I stepped on the scale this morning and I have lost 4.6 pounds. Wahoo!!! Mark has also been working on watching what he is eating and picking smaller portions, and he has lost 5.6 pounds. I feel really good too. I think that when I start watching what I am eating I actually don't eat enough. Obviously that hasn't been a problem the last few months with the weight gain I have experienced but when I look back on last summer and how I didn't lose any weight with as hard as I worked it all makes sense. I don't eat enough food. I think have anorexic tendencies. The whole less is more issue. So, now I am on a good track, and 10 weeks to go until the wedding. I would like to lose 2 pounds a week from here until the wedding. That might be too much to ask for but we will just see what happens. For anyone considering Weight Watchers here is the best tip that my sister gave me. The light ranch from the BYU Creamery is only 1 point for 2 tablespoons. And it is really tasty to boot. So, take a drive down to Provo and pick some up, you will love it.
My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.
