Ever since I've stopped tracking my points strictly, I've been a bit of a slacker here since i had been using the blog to track my points.
Anyway, so let's see. what's new with me? I'm still loosely following WW. I still pay my monthly fees although I haven't been to a meeting in 3 weeks. :-( I will try to go tomorrow!
I've been pretty much hovering between 119-121 pounds the last several weeks so I'm maintaining my weight. yay! I've definitely been looser with my eating, but I'm still watchful of my portion sizes and when I go out to eat, I choose healthier options.
I still have a problem with eating everything on my plate when I go out to eat... and that's definitely not good. Especially considering portion sizes are ridiculous at restaurants.
I did start my running class though. Tonight's class is week 4 and our first "1 min walking / 3 minutes running" class. Starting next week, we'll just be running. I'm nervous! But it's been a lot of fun. Everyone is so nice and supportive.
Only 6 more weeks until my first 5K race in 10 years! eeek!
anyway, here's a iphone snapshot of today's lunch:
I made a pasta recipe I found in "Cooking Light" magazine. I used whole grain penne to up the fiber and the recipe was really simple: I just sauteed chopped shallots and garlic in evoo, then tossed in a can of rinsed and drained garbanzo beans and one container of grape tomatoes (sliced into halves), squeezed in the juice of half a lemon and the zest of one whole lemon, tossed in the cooked penne, some feta, tore some fresh basil leaves, and salt and pepper. Very light and yummy! 1 1/2 cups is 9 points but if you use lowfat feta and whole grain penne, you may be able to bring that down a point.
I also had some fresh canteloupe (1 pt), an individually wrapped prune (0 pt) and a small WW chocolate snack (1 pt).
For my pre-run snack, I'm going to have a banana smeared with 1 Tb of reduced fat peanut butter.
