Sorry I’m late this week with check-in. By the time I remembered last night, it was too late. Anyway, I was good and I did weigh myself yesterday. My goal for the week was to lose 2.4 lbs., so I could finally say I’d lost 40 lbs. Unfortunately, I didn’t get there. However, I did manage to lose .6 lbs. and I’ve come up with a plan to knock this week out of the park for next week’s results.
I’ve upped the ante on my fruits and vegetables. I’ve also been really good at waiting at least twenty minutes before I decide whether or not I’m still hungry after having just eaten. I have never been much of a menu planner; I’m actively planning my meals ahead of time now. I also wasn’t eating a proper breakfast in the morning, which leads to midday snacking and overall, a higher consumption of calories, so this week, I began eating a fuller, more nutritious breakfast. That has made a huge difference in the way I feel.
I’m sorry to cut this post so short, but I’m kind of dealing with a lot on my plate currently. I will be back in a few days with a new post, as my usual, peppy self. Promise!
Total weight loss since January 1: 38.2 lbs!



I made these cookies for Mother’s Day this year. A single batch makes 40 cookies. They were devoured. My mother had the last remaining two with her morning cup of coffee the following morning. These are beautiful and delicious, and despite how they look, they’re surprisingly simple to put together and for my fellow Weight Watchers, these are only 2 pts. each! Original recipe circa Bon Appetit, 1995.
