Weigh in and then some

Our goal is to go to the gym 3 times a week, last week we nailed that we went 5 (well actually 6 but one day we just went and played around in the pool)! And it totally helped out on our weigh in, (which is now on Sunday) I lost 2 more pounds and to more inches, and Grumpy lost 4 ponds and 3 inches!! We had some really good meals this weekend too lemon pancakes, this time with blackberry sauce (still SO good) and then Carne Asada tacos with guacamole (recipe at the end) last night, heres some pictures;

Pancakes (3/4 of the way eaten)

Tacos and black beans, there were 3 but I keep forgetting to take pictures)

And my new Hungry Girl Favorite Holy Moly Guacamole

And yes it is mostly a whole can of peas, but it is really good and you cant even taste the peas, We didn't tell Snow white until after she was all done eating 3 tacos, and she said that it was good, and she would eat it again! And 1/3 of a cup of this is only 1 point!

Stir-fried Beef with snow peas + update

I made this last night for dinner and the cook book (Weight Watchers all time favorites) says that it is 2 point for 1 cup, but when I entered it into the recipe builder on Weight Watchers.com it came up as 5 so I went with that.

3 scallions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced and peeled (eww I hate ginger so I left it out)
3/4 # boneless sirloin steak trimmed and cut into thin 2inch slices
1/2 # fresh snow peas (i used frozen)
1 cup canned sliced water chestnuts (I didnt have any)
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat on high, add scallions, garlic, ginger and stir fry until fragrant, about a minute. Add beef until brown, then add snow peas and cook for 1 minute. Add water chestnuts, soy sauce, oj, and bring to a simmer (at this point I added about a cup of sliced mushrooms, because i love them).

Stir together, cornstarch and water in a separate bowl, and once combined add to the stir fry, cook for 30 more seconds!

that's all 1 cup is 5 points, add pasta for a noodle bowl and it ups that whole dish to 9... unless you use whole wheat pasta, then I don't know what it is.

Our goal is to go to the gym 3 times a week (Sunday-Sunday) so far we have already gone our 3 times and have a trip planned for tonight, and tomorrow! I hope Mondays weigh in will show all of our hard work...

W4

Our second week of WW went pretty good, I added new trackers on the side to show our latest goals which is 5% we are both getting close! this week Grumpy is down 2 pounds and 4.5 inches (total since 10/18- 7 inches and 6 pounds) and I am down 3 pounds and 1.5 inches (total since 10/18- 7 inches and 5 pounds).

We made these delicious lemon pancakes with raspberry sauce over the weekend I will have to post the recipe, so look for that soon, they were SO good!

Weight Watchers Weekly Weigh in

From now on this post will be called W4; heres the results

Grumpy;

-4 lbs

-2.5 inches

Dopey;

-2 lbs

-4 inches

We joined our local fitness center, and are planning on going 3 times a week. As long as we are seeing minus #'s we are going to stick with this, even if its just inches thats just fine. We had a pretty easy first week, we spent a little more time in the grocery stores then we would have liked but it kept us out of the house and away from the snacks.

the adventures of two moms on a diet...

On Sunday night Grumpy and I decided to sign up for weight watchers and do something about the extra weight we had put on since our wedding (when I was 115 and she was 150) so we joined today is day 2 and we are doing pretty good. Neither one of us feel at all hungry or deprived of any thing (which is what I worried about) we weigh in on Mondays so I will probablly just post about this on Monday, or maybe Tuesday (heck I just may do it everyday, its my blog and i'll do what I want lol)
