Day 3 Weight Watchers Update
After 3 days of recommitting to the Weight Watchers plan I am pretty happy with the results. I told myself that I wasn’t going to weigh in yet but I did get on the scale this morning and see that I have lost 2 pounds. Of course I know it is normal to lose weight quickly at the start of a weight loss plan but seeing the 2 pound loss was a good motivator.
I have been really trying to get creative with my meal planning. For example, today instead of a typical sandwich I used 3 pieces of bread (very thin bread, 3 slices for just 2 points) and loaded it with protein to help satisfy me. So instead of 2 ounces of low fat ham I used 4 ounces (2 points) along with 2 very thin slices of cheese (2 points), just a little mayo (1 point), and 0 point mustard, lettuce and tomato. Here is how I assembled:
Bottom slice: mustard, a slice cheese, 2 slices ham, lettuce, tomato
Middle slice, a little mayo on both sides then topped with 2 slices ham, 1 slice cheese and more mustard on the last slice of bread. Very filling sandwich for just 7 points. Well worth it because yesterday I didn’t eat enough protein and was really hungry mid day. Then I had a piece of ham and cheese without the bread which helped. Today after eating that 7 point sandwich I went shopping all afternoon and didn’t suffer from any hunger pains.
On Friday I plan to make a new soup recipe which is actually supposed to be meatless but I am going to add some meat for the protein as well as pasta to make it more filling. There are some great 0 point soup recipes (did I mention that most vegetables are 0 points?) but for me, I like soup as a meal and I need the protein and added pasta to keep me full. I haven’t figured out the points yet but I know that it wont be more than a few points per serving. If the soup comes out good I will be sure to post the recipe along with my other Weight Watchers Recipes.
