Beans, Beans and more Beans

I tried this recipe tonight from weightwatchers.com.

Orange Cilantro Black Bean Salad(I used clementines, that is all I had on hand. Yumbo)

Yoga

You know, no one mentioned Yoga today. Nor did I, but I think this exercise is one that we all need. Not only for our physical body, but for our mind. I think that we forget sometimes that stretching will effect our core muscles more than you know. Try some yoga.

You can also go onto sparkpeople.com or prevention.com and watch free exercise videos.

Let's get up and go!!

Ok, we all know that I love a party! So as discussed in the Saturday class we will keep track of how many miles we walk. After a "short" 688 miles we will get to our virtual paarty spot at Disney in Orlando.

Every saturday please tally how many miles you have walked this week. If you are participating in another activity other than walking then count one mile for every thirty minutes.

We will see Mickey Mouse in no time! After we get our 688 miles we, as a class will decide how to PARTY!

Now, get out from in front of this computer and MOVE!!!!!!

In all of this Winter time blah doesn't this look good and healthy!

Day SIX of Snow Days

This is a great weight watcher week! In this week's weekly I have already tried the chicken pot pie recipe that was really good and filling.

Yes filling, this week I challenge ALL OF YOU TO EAT AS MANY FILLING FOODS as you can. remember filling foods will keep you satisfied and feel better. Most are really low in points too.

So go for it, the filling foods list that is. Do you knlw where you can find that list?

Out Again

Sullivan County is out of school again tomorrow. well, I have gotten some stufff done today and I have a lunch date set up for tomorrow! I want to get back to school, but you know that after about four days I will be secretly hoping for another snow day!!

The Oatmeal Packet Cookie

The whole batch for 2 pts:

1 quaker Instant Oatmeal (or any packet you have, I used Food Club brand)
1/4 cup hot water, r less as needed
1/2 t. baking powder
2 T Splenda
1/2 t. cinnamon
Stir all ingredients and let sit for 5 minutes. Place "dough" in 4 mounds on a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam. bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
These are only the point cost of the oatmeal packet, which is usually 2 pts. But check it out with your points finder.

OH MY

Well, we are now on our fourth snow day. Enough already. I need to be on a schedule! I have crafted, watched TV, walked on the treadmill, been on the Wii, tried to do school work. It is so difficult to not EAT! I am doing my best, but what a challenge. I am tracking though.
Are you? I hope so.
I hope our Saturday class is not canceled. we will let you knwo on wcyb.com.

The 2010 New Year, New Resolve Challenge

Once again WW has made things simple for us to follow and given us a plan to help us succeed.

New Resolve Challenge

Week One

Week Two Wait and see

My Resolutions/Intentions/Goals

Walk 4 miles everyday. (A repeater)

A healthy snack everyday. I know that I cannot make it without a snack.

I will stay on plan, even on days that I use my extra points I will be on plan.

I can think of lots of things that are not in my reach:

Be happy everyday-probably not.

Stay healthy- who knows what germs are lurking out there.

Stop overspending-probably not. I like to have stuff.

No stress days-not everyday, can't happen.

BUT, I can think of a few small goals that will help me to stay healthy, happy and wise!!

Happy New Year!!

Resolutions

A much better word is "goal".
From weightwatchers.com:

Who hasn't spent a New Year's Eve resolving to be svelte by spring? Then by mid-February, you've sold your rowing machine and bought a new couch. Follow five steps to make this year your most successful yet.

For many people, a new year's resolution is a highly personal goal that, if fulfilled, becomes a "private victory." But whether you keep things quiet by accident or by design, you are giving yourself an out: You can fall off track, and no one will be the wiser.

On the other hand, you are more likely to follow through with your resolutions if you share them with the significant people in your life.

Which brings us to our five-step resolution-reaching plan.

1. Make your resolutions public
Share them with one or more people so they can help you stay on track. If you let your friends and family in on your dream, you can use their support to help you make it a reality.

2. Write down your resolution
But don't stop there: Also include the steps you will take to keep it. According to Laura Hess, a Nevada-based personal and business coach, having a clearly articulated goal and a plan of action is vital for success.

3. Keep things simple
Break a big goal into a series of smaller goals. Want to lose 50 pounds? Shoot for losing 5 percent of your body weight first, or set five 10-pound incremental weight-loss goals.

4. Mark your achievements
Each time you make a small lifestyle change aimed at reaching your goal — adding five minutes to your daily walk, for instance — put a star on your calendar so you can see your progress.

5. Make small changes
If weight loss or a healthier lifestyle is your goal, put a bowl of fruit or vegetable pieces front and center in the fridge, and hide the cookie jar behind the oatmeal. Each week, try a new low-fat cereal or an exotic fruit or a vegetable you haven't tasted before. Stash away your car keys for a weekend and challenge yourself to walk wherever you need to go. Lose the deep-fat fryer, too, and steam, bake or microwave your food.

Happy New Year!!

I hope all of you are having a great start of the new year. I am. so hang in there and get ready for a great ride!
