One more thing......food!

Okay, am I turning into Syl? I feel I need to share food with you...almost tempted to take pictures of it too! Eeeesh (couldn't be influenced by a sweeter friend than you, Syl!).

Recommendation: WW recipe: Cuban Chicken Skewers - marinate for as long as you like (I think recipe says 2-8 hours - mine were 24+ hours)......and grilled summer veggies - VERY points friendly, very tasty, very satisfying!

Next time I make them, I'll post a photo - promise!

I feeeeel GOOOOD!

WI is tonight and I'm looking forward to my first WW WI at my meeting! Yes, indeedy, I am so! Why? Well, seems like I'm shrinking....no clue what the scale is saying, but I do know my inches are leaving me...the extra inches...the blubbery ones! Today, I have a great NSV to share - heck might even have to take a photo this evening because I'm feeling so good!

About two months ago, I bought four new pairs of capris - two jean, one black, one navy...only wore the black and one jean pair as there was no way that I could stay in the waistband of the other ones - way too much in the middle...I figured I'd work towards wearing them....tried them on about 2 weeks ago and NO WAY still....well, today, I'm comfortably in one of the jean pairs! Muffin middle is all but gone and it took the back b00bs with it! How cool is that?

So plan today - stay OP, go to the gym at 4 - WI at 5 - meeting at 5:15 - soccer game to watch at 6:30......home by...well, eventually!

Have a great day my friends (that is if anyone is actually reading my posts!)....and maybe tomorrow I'll have a picture or two to share....just maybe!

Terrific Tuesday!

Seriously! Terrific!

Okay, so I've been OP with WW since July 12th, the day my girlfriend from Montreal was coming to visit.....she's also on WW. We had an awesome weekend....and I told all of you about the recommitment to the gym and how my other girlfriend, Gail, and I have agreed to meet at the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays after work and how we both rejoined WW meetings last Thursday night.

So, I've discovered that I can track on the on-line tracker, but it's not working that well for me, apparently, tracking on paper is better.....Wendy (my Montreal friend) and I took our measurements on July 12th. Yesterday morning, I visited the washroom and noticed in the mirror that maybe I was a little less poofy!? Anyhoo, skipped my mind and when I got dressed this morning and put on my bra, it didn't fit the same...could it be? Well, I got out the tape measure because I was curious - here's what's happened in only 11 days:

Bust -1
Rib cage -3!
Waist -3!
Hips -1
Butt -.5

in 11 days! I'm so excited about that....I'm feeling a lot less bloated.....I'm feeling in control....and I'm motivated like you wouldn't believe to stay this way! Wooohooooey!

Syl - you go girl!
