WW Week 10
A bit late in posting this week. Sorry!
A very cold week here in Chicagoland . . really cold. So cold that all my car windows froze. My car is in the garage . . . granted, it's not heated in there, but still . . . ! They unfroze yesterday when the temps edged up a bit. A welcome respite. It's going to be back in the single digits by this evening.
So last week I actually made a meal plan. It absolutely did not go as I planned. :-D But at least I had something to start with, which was great.
Here's the main thing I did not take into consideration: figuring out the actual points for each meal for each day. Yeah, really. How silly was that?! :-D And then one of the things I planned on I never actually got made. But I did make my mom's meatloaf recipe and make hockey pucks with it, i.e., I cooked it in the muffin tin. Two hockey pucks = 1 serving.
Even though this didn't work out quite as I planned, I take it as a win. At least I made a plan, which I have not yet done for this week, and I cooked and froze some food. Yay me!!
I think it all just goes to show that it's never too late to learn. I've been a WW member off and on since my high school days - and really, I was on the program back in the late 60s when my mom was a member. She was cooking so I ate what she made :-D I joined for real in the late 1980s, which was when I reached goal and became a Lifetime member. Clearly, I've been doing this for a really long time. But things change, and the program changes. Nutrition is a living science - it's always changing. I like that I can continue to learn new things.
The entire week didn't work really well, so I'm going to break it down a bit further and see if I can do a day at a time. And vegetables. Still a pain . . . but I'm going to start checking off the boxes on my eTools tracker this week, and see if I can't get my vegetable intake up. It's best for me.
This is my year. I am returning to goal. I'm already there - I just need to manifest it into my life. :-)

The vegetables are a theme, so does this mean you eat protein heavy meals comprised of meats, grains/beans? Would it help to jump on the smoothie bandwagon and just drink your veggies?
