4 lbs gone forever :-) My first WW Weigh-in...

Good morning!

It's indeed a very good morning here....

The sun is shining brightly, the sky is blue, the white snow is sparkling like diamonds, and it's Saturday. How I love Saturdays LOL

And, of course, today was actually the day for me to weigh-in and confirm how much weight I lost on my first week back on WW, using the new Momentum 'Simply Filling' (old WW Core revamped a bit) plan.

Drum roll.....

I lost 4 pounds. Right on the dot! How's that for a great start :)

I know that some of it is water weight, but even at that, I've never lost 4 lbs on the first week of ANY plan, AND, most importantly, I made some very healthy food choices and I wasn't hungry at all because I ate as much as I wanted, as long as I kept listening to my body and not overstuff myself... i.e. eating only until I was 'satisfied' and I feel really great.

Yesterday was Day 2 of my Vegetarian pledge and it went really well.

Here's what I had yesterday for food:

Breakfast:
Mushroom omelette (onions, mushrooms, 1 egg + 2 egg whites, 1 Tbsp of salsa, a sprinkle of part-skim shredded cheddar cheese), and a small (end piece) sprouted grains bread topped with a wee bit of Becel Olive Oil Spread.

Lunch:
A large refried Lentils Burrito (home made from scratch), filled with the lentil mix, fresh lettuce, fresh tomatoes, a bit of low fat sour cream and a sprinkle of part-skim shredded cheddar cheese and salsa.

Dinner:
Kidney Beans 'Burger' with bun (the kidney beans patty is home made from scratch, topped with fresh sliced tomatoes and a bit of ketchup and mustard), with a nice garden salad and my home made olive oil & Balsamic vinegar vinaigrette, and a piece of my home made fruit crisp (the President's Choice recipe that I mentionned the other night using Maple Syrup, fresh apples, PC's Ancien Grains cereals -mashed up into medium crumbs- and some quick cooking oatmeal and a bit of veg oil).

I had a tea with mom in the evening using our fabulous little tea pot (perfect for 2 large cups of tea, or 3 small ones) that I bought on Etsy from a VEGAN (bonus!) potter just before the holidays as a little gift for mom and I, because we do love our Earl Grey Decaf Tea so much. You can see our realy cute teapot right here. I fell in love with it when I saw it...


I wasn't hungry in the evening, so I didn't grab an evening snack... we ate our dinner a bit later than usual.

So, onward we move for another week!

It is important to remind ourselves that we are what we eat, and that it benefits our body temendously when we make healthier food choices. It doesn't have to be perfect, but the more we choose better food items for ourselves, the better we will feel.

Have a super day!
