New Yum Yums! :)

Hello Everyone!  Happy Thursday...my goodness, just one day until Friday and the blessed and amazing weekend! :)

We were supposed to head to Cape Breton this weekend but with the impending bad weather tomorrow, looks like we will be hanging around Halifax!

I am really into the swing of Weight Watchers!  I finally got to go grocery shopping last night and explore some foods and get some things to enjoy eating while watching WHAT I eat.  I did unfortunately forget my points calculator but I still made out okay!  I know there are a lot of people who don't like grocery shopping and some days I don't either however most of the time, I enjoy browsing the aisles and looking at food maybe I haven't had before and could maybe incorporate into my eating plan to keep me engaged...although I have no intentions of becoming disengaged!

Some yum yums I found were: Weight Watcher Italian Wedding Soup, 4 points....I am not a huge soup person but with some crackers I like to give it a go.  It was very tasty and satisfying as well!  Now for the crackers...this is another yummy yum I found!  Triscuit Parmesan and Garlic crackers!  Yummy triangles of goodness!  They are so tasty and flavorful!  It is 10 crackers for 2 points, I mean, you cannot go wrong!!  You don't want to think I didn't have 20 of those suckers with my soup!  YUM!

Another yummy discovery is Skinny Cow *NEW* Cookies and Cream ice cream sandwich, also four points!  That shall be my 9pm snack and last food of the day!!!!

Tonight I also got some blue menu spicy rice with edamame that I am going to try AND some steel cut oats with blueberries I intend to try for breakfast tomorrow!  Weight Watchers is amazing because it lets you eat and make your menu for yourself!  You aren't cutting anything out.  When you remove something such as giving up sugar or carbs or whatever it might be, when you start eating it again, it's going to get messy!!
WW isn't for everyone and not everyone believes in it but again, I definitely stand behind it...and less of my behind stands behind it which is the best part!!! ;)

So I also worked out like a crazy woman this week, or at least it felt that way!  My body is extra sore and tired as the end of this week arrives.  I went to Combat two nights in a row, lastnight I did upper body weights, 3 sets and cardio and tonight I did yoga/pilates!  I intend to go to RPM for 75 minutes on Saturday to round out my five days!  I love the feeling of control over my body.  There are things that might be happening inside that I don't know about and cannot control, but what I know is that I am doing many good things to ensure I am doing my part!!  Nature cannot be controlled but I have to play an active role in my health and well being.  I want to be an active person until the end and live my life to it's fullest!!

I did however make a discovery today that I am trying to move past!  I have a close friend whose wedding I am in on July 30th, they got engaged before us.  Pete and I then got engaged and I didn't want to get married before my friend, not that it mattered but I just felt it appropriate!  Unfortunately today I realized that if I had taken the time to look at the calendar I would have seen that, July 16th, the day Pete and I met, is on a Saturday and we very well could have gotten married on the anniversary of the day we met.  It is too late to change all of the many things we have booked and I realize now we will just have two special days to celebrate instead of one...although that would have been perfect!!

Anyway, I need to move past it and August 27th will be an amazingly incredible day we will never forget...as is July 16th!!!

Until next time...xx
