It has been about a week (technically a week and two days) since I started to get back on Weight Watchers. Last week I was unable to go to the gym (the apartment complex has a little gym with weights, treadmills, etc.) because I stuck inside the house and the gym is still being renovated. Yesterday was when I was scheduled to weigh in and I had lost 3 pounds. Not much-I know-but considering I lost that as a result of just eating better (still cheated on Saturday when we went over to Kita’s for game night, but that’s totally my bad) and being more careful with portion sizes. So I remain kind of optimistic. I’m still doing yoga in the mornings and starting this weekend, a friend of mine and I are set to go on a hiking/nature trail once a week. I really do need to get better about getting my blood drawn/tested (late last month was the first time I have done it since surgery), but overall things are good on the health front.

And as far as next week’s meal plan:

Su: Roasted chicken legs, rice and broccoli (~9 points; instead of 5 spice like she used, we are going with a lemon and herb roasted chicken)
M: Sweet and sour chicken with 1/2 cup of rice (6 points)
Tu: Sausage-stuffed shells with side salad (11 points)
W: Crock pot creole chicken (5 points a serving)
Th: Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes and broccoli (7 points)
F: Orange-glazed chicken with 1/2 cup of rice
Sa: Chili (unknown; will update with points)
Breakfast: home-made granola bars with pecans and chocolate (4 points a bar)
