monday morning weigh in

so i have not been able to attend meetings for awhile because of the summer schedule with the kids. and the lack of wanting to pay for a sitter in addition to the monthly ww fee. but i really miss the meetings. i am torn about what i will do when school starts because i dont think i will have my mornings free like in the past and i dont like weighing in later in the day, for obvious reasons. i really like the monday morning meeting because it keeps me more honest over the weekend. so i dont know what i am going to do.

but yesterday morning i did make it in to weigh in, even though i couldnt stay for the meeting. i was up .2 which i expected. truth be told, i expected to be up much more than that, so i was happy with .2. so i am down 48 lbs total. closing in on that 50 lb mark and i would really like to be able to attend my monday morning meeting when i reach that milestone and celebrate with my fellow losers.

product review: new laughing cow light wedges

if you are a member of the weight loss community, you have undoubtedly heard about the new laughing cow wedge flavors that were to debut this summer. i love cheese and laughing cow wedges have played a prominent role in my weight loss - i probably eat 2 a day at a minimum. i was eagerly anticipating these new flavors. the great news is that, for me, these new flavors did not dissapoint!!

i was in my local grocery store this weekend and noticed a huge basket display of the new wheels, even better - each one had a $1.00 off coupon on them. they each rang up at $3.49 after the coupon. i bought the light blue cheese; light mozzarella, sun-dried tomato and basil; and the light queso fresco & chipotle.

the blue cheese has a nice rich flavor with a bit of the bite you expect from a blue. the queso fresco was yummy, but maybe a bit milder than i anticipated. its still good though. a nice smooth flavor. the mozzarella was great also, it has a strong sun-dried tomato flavor - which i think is true no matter what you add sun-dried tomato to. all in all i give them 4 out of 4 stars. i am glad to have some more options in the cheese world around here! now if only my wholesale warehouse club will start to sell them too!!

remember me?

it has been unusually busy here with a sleep study and surgery for my 3 year old. thankfully we are on the other side of both of those things now and he is recovering well. the really good news is that those stressful situation normally would have lead to a weight gain - this time they did not! that, people, is progress. additionally, we went on a week long vacation and i only gained .4 while on vacation. again, progress! so yesterday i weighed in, for the first time in two weeks because of vacation and surgery, etc. and i was down 3.6 lbs. so my total loss at this point is 48.2!! i am less than 2 lbs away from having lost 50 lbs. so proud of myself!
