Day 3

I think I'm finally getting the hang of this points thing. It's the end of the evening and I have 3 points to use. I can do that easy with a small snack or yogurt.

We did some grocery shopping today and I was surprised to find out that my grocery list really didn't differ much since joining Weight Watchers. There is a bit more dairy and some more fruits and vegetables, but other than that, it's pretty much the same. The staples are:
Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
Ground Turkey
Bacon (I'm trying Turkey Bacon this time)
Low Fat Cheese
Non Fat Milk
Coffee
Some sort of cracker or pretzel
Fresh Veggies and Fruit

That's it! Grocery bill came to just over $100 and I can make that last 2 weeks.

We went to Park City Mall today because the shoes I bought at Target last week are killing my toes, so I got some good quality walking shoes and then we stopped by Auntie Anne's Pretzels. (OMG! So Good!) The Pretzel with cheese was worth 12 points, but it was worth it and so yummy! I don't regret it one bit!

I have to say, it's fantastic to be on a diet where I can eat anything I want as long as I "point" for it. It's truly amazing!

Dinner: Rosemary Chicken with Balsamic-Glazed Onions
I decided to try this recipe because my friend Cara said it was really good, she was right! It was amazing and only 6 points! I don't want to get in copyright trouble by typing out the recipe here, but someone else felt so inclined. Here is that link:

Tomorrow we are going to church in the morning and then we're going to have one of the Weight Watchers lunches at Applebee's.

In off topic news, the weather dropped to 40 degrees today. It wouldn't be so bad but the wind gusts are 50mph and it feels like 25 out there. Needless to say, I didn't go out walking with the dogs. It's just too cold! I can't wait for spring.
