I'm Such a Loser!!!!

So another weigh in has come and gone....and I am down another 1.8lbs for a total of 14.4lbs gone!!! SOOOO close to the 15lb mark, I can taste it..lol

I am also happy to report that last night I put on a size 16 pair of jeans! My old ones were an 18Q!!! WOOT WOOT!!! I'm so excited! I've got 5 weeks until my baby cousin A gets married, and I am planning on being down another 2 sizes before then!!!

Obviously Weight Watchers works! I was told at one of my recent meetings that "If you KINDA do it, it KINDA works. If you REALLY do it, it REALLY works!" Well folks, it REALLY works. I have been very diligent latley in tracking my points, and doing my exercise. I have even bought a new video game for my Wii so that I can "dance" away the pounds..lol. My kids don't like it...well I don't think it's that they don't like it...they just think it's funny to see Mommy dancing around the living room huffing and puffin'. My sister M and I have also decided to start a walking regime. The indoor walking track here in town isopen until 8pm each night. Which means there are no excuses to go walking if it's raining, windy etc...ALSO it's 8 laps to make 1 mile....soooo 40 laps and we've got 5 miles under our belts...it will keep us busy and out of trouble...not to mention skinny!

No new recipes to blog though.....I no longer have my camera to take pictures. :(

I'll have to steal my sisters camera and start blogging the recipes again. There are a few new ones that I would like to share with all of you!

In the mean time, please keep trying the ones that I have already posted.

Happy Cooking!

No I haven't given up!

Yes, yes...I know I haven't written anything in a long time. And really the only excuse I have is, my husband was getting fed up of me trying out new Weight Watcher recipes on him that I had to make a couple of "old stand bys' for awhile. That, and we all came down with that terrible flu that has been going aroud this winter.

In any case; I have managed to lose more weight! I am now down 12.6lbs! There is no weigh in this coming Saturday so I have 2 weeks until I weigh in next, and am aiming for the 15lbs mark when the time comes.

I have joined Curves! Which I LOVE....I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Zumba class that is offered on Tuesday and Thursday Nights. I have also managed to get my Mother to join Weight Watchers with me. So now there are 6 family members that are all doing Weight Watchers! WOW...talk about motivation! Since I brought my Mom to the last meeting, I was given a new cookbook! There are some really nice recipes in there, so this week the shopping is going to be catered to some of these recipes! I can't wait to try them and see the scale move some more!

I promise to begin blogging the recipes again!

Here's to healthy eating!

Ragu Bolognese

Yesterday (February 1st, 2011) was the first day since last Thursday that I have felt like eating or even cooking anything. I probably have blown my weight loss since last week, because of not feeling well I have just been grabbing whatever has been handy to eat. NOT GOOD!

I tried to stay on track all day, and it just didn't work. So I countered it and did a bit of a work out. Tonight though I am going to be going to a Zumba class! I need to spice up my workout routines, and I don't have the money to buy a gym pass at this moment. So for $10 tonight I get to try something new!

Again, it was Tuesday...lol...which meant I could try something new to eat and not have to worry about my husband crinkling his nose up at it. So I made Ragu Bolognese...or Spaghetti.

This dish was not that spectacular. I didn't even really enjoy it. I like my spaghetti sauce to stick to the noodles...this did not. Even when it thickened up a bit, it still didn't stick. It was tasty, don't get me wrong. But I think I will stick to my regular spaghetti routine.

Here is the recipe:

Serves 6

2 tsp olive oil

1/4lb lean ground beef (7% fat or less)

1/2 cup of dry white wine

1 onion, chopped

1 carrot, chopped

1 celery stalk, chopped

1/2tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp black pepper

1 (28 oz) can petite diced tomatoes

1/2 cup low fat (1%) milk

1/2 lb whole wheat spaghetti

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1) Heat oil in large deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, breaking it apart with wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring until evaporated. Stir in onion, carrot, celery, oregano, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with their juice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, sitrring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 12 minutes. Stir in milk and cook, sitrring, until creamy and thickened, about 5 mintues longer.

2)Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions, omitting salt if desired; drain well.

3) Add pasta and Parmesan to skillet and cook, tossing, until heated through, about 2 minutes longer.

Weigh Watchers Update!

I had another weigh in yesterday (Saturday January 29th)...and..I was down 3.6lbs! For a total of 10.8lbs gone!! YAY ME! Only 89.2lbs left to go!

I only have 2 more pounds to go before I get to my 5%. So as a treat to myself I bought the bigger Weight Watchers Cookbook that you can purchase at Walmart for $21.57.

So keep watching this week. I have 6 new recipes....(well 7..because I didn't do the Coconut Shrimp one last week I am going to do it this week) that I am going to post. 5 dinner ones and 2 lunch ones!

Happy Cooking!

Creamy Fettucini with Asparagus & Mushrooms

Pasta! Who knew that pasta could taste good, and still be good for points on Weight Watchers? My favorite is a BIG bowl of Spaghetti & Meatballs, with a side ceasar salad and garlic bread....TONNES of garlic bread! (can you see the trend that led me to my round fluffy body type?..lol)

It was Tuesday....I loath Tuesdays....*sigh*....Tuesday means that I am home all day and all night alone....I know, I shouldn't complain but seriously sometimes a Stay-At-Home Mom needs a bit of a break; and on Tuesdays I don't get it. During the day I watch 2 other little boys...the youngest just turned 1 and the other one will be 2 in May. So with my 2 kids...yes that equals 4 boys....all aged 5 and under....well...5 1/2, 2 1/2, 1 1/2 and 1.....ya I needed some carbs tonight..lol.

Tuesday also means that my Hubby goes out and either plays darts or he heads over to his Buddy's house to play Final Fantasy on the computer. He usually goes right from work, with about a 10 min stopover to get the laptop from home. (Thus leaving me home all day and all night...because he never comes home before midnight!).

So since Hubby wasn't going to be home, and he absolutley DETESTS Mushrooms...he also won't eat Asparagus or Whole Wheat Pasta. What a perfect night to make myself a dish that has some of my favorite foods in it. Mushrooms & Asparagus!..lol (yea...I think I need to get Hubby to try these foods again, I love to cook them) The kids aren't to excited about Mushrooms or Asparagus either....they wanted KD...and KD was what they got!.. (I wasn't in the mood to make them anything fancy either..lol....it had been a looooonnnnnggg day!)


This recipe was easy! The longest part was chopping the mushrooms and waiting for the noodles to cook! It smelled wonderful and was great as leftovers for lunch this afternoon! I paired it with a gren salad and creamy cucumber dressing! It's definatley going to go on my make again list (but only on a Tuesday...lol).

Here is the recipe:
Level: Basic
Prep: 25 min
Cook: 20 min
Serves: 4

6 oz whole wheat fettuccini or spaghetti
1 bunch of asparagus trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces (I just used the frozen asparagus and left them whole...why not...I was the only one eating..lol)
2 tsp Olive Oil
6 shallots thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 lb cremini mushrooms sliced
1/4lb shiitake mushrooms, tough stems removed and sliced
1 Tbsp reducde sodium soy-sauce
2 tsp all-purpose flour
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup fat free half & half
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
3 Tbsp shaved Parmesan (I'm not a big parmsean fan, and since this is just grated ontop after I omitted it)

1) Cook pasta according to package directions; adding asparagus during last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain

2)Meanwhile, heat oil in large non stick skiller over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook, stirring often, until shallots are softened, 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms and soy sauce and cook, stirring occationally, until tender, about 6 minutes.

3)Add flour to skillet and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Gradually add broth, stirring constantly, and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until mixture is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add half-and-half and cook until heated through. Add pasta mixture and thyme and toss to coat.

4)Divide pasta among 4 shallow bowls: sprinkle evenly with Parmesan.

Roasted Garlic-Beef and Vegetable Stew

So I've weighed in...I was up by .2 of a lb this past week. Time to buckle down and get this scale moving. I have 93 more pounds that need to be shed off before I reach my goal. I have found tonnes of insipration on the Weight Watchers Canada Facebook page. There are women and some men on there that have lost over 100lbs! There is one lady who has lost 143.5lbs! Can you believe it? That's a whole person!!! So inspiring, not only because they are older and are doing this. But because THEY DID IT! If these people can shed the weight this way, so can I!!


I am also super excited to have a Partner in Crime (so to speak) for this journey. I won't mention any names or anything because I am not sure if I can tell anyone else. When I am positive that they will allow me to tell, then I will!!! (sooo excited...lol)

Like I have said before I LOVE COMFORT FOOD! So when I picked up the Weight Watchers Cookbook at my meeting on Saturday and saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. I like stews, my Hubby LOVES stew, and the kids...well they can take it or leave, pretty much typical.

This recipe was pretty easy. I loved the way it made the house smell while roasting the Garlic (yes this was my first time roasting garlic). It was really fast too, it didn't take the hours, and hours of simmering the way the stew was done when Grandma used to make it! And the portion size of only 1 3/4 cups of stew was MORE than enough. I had enough points too that I could have a piece of bread with it!

Please try this one! It's delicous!

Here is the recipe:
Level: Basic
Prep: 20 min
Roast/Cook: 55 min
Serves: 4


2 heads of garlic
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1lb beef bottom round steak, trimmed and cut into 2.5cm pieces
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
2 onions, chopped
12 baby carrots (orange and yellow).....I just used Orange ones...our supermarket didn't have the yellow ones.
2 large parsnips, peeled and diced
1/2 lb small red potatoes, halved
2 cups reduced sodium beed broth ( I also added some water because by the time it had boild for a few minutes, it had reduced quiet a bit)
3 fresh Thyme sprigs or 1/2 tsp dried Thyme
1 cup frozen green peas
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley



1)Preheat oven to 400F. Wrap garlic in foil and roast until soft and fragrant, 50-60 minutes. Let cool. Squeeze out garlic pulp and reserve.

2)Meanwhile, place flour on sheet of wax paper. Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper; coat with flour, shaking off excess. Reserve remaining flour.

3) Spray Dutch Oven with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook, sitrring occasionally, until browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer beef to plate. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 minutes. Add carrots, parsnips, potatoes, broth and thyme, bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.

4)Return beef and any accumulated juices to Dutch oven. Stir in garlic pulp. Remove 2 Tbsp cooking liquid to small bowl; add reserved flour and whisk until smooth. Add to Dutch oven and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 1 minute. Add pes and simmer 1 minute longer. Stir in parsley

Weight Watchers Update!

Over the weekend I had my weigh in.

And *sigh*....I was up .2 of a lb...I know it's not a lot, and I can get rid of it really easy. I also know why it's up. I was REALLY good all week, and then Friday night rolls around and I am tierd and not really into cooking...so I made Chicken Fingers and Fries...yeah I know not the healthiest, and also not the best for a low sodium meal!

So now I know. This week, NO HIGH SODIUM BEFORE WEIGH IN!! I also have to remember to drink my water. Weight Watchers recommends that you drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. I just carry around a water bottle that is 32oz. I try and drink at least 4 of these a day. You'd be surprised how much weight you can pee off..lol.

Ok, so my commitment this week. Keep to my points. NO HIGH SODIUM MEALS. Drink my water, and exercise everyday for 30-45 mins.

Weight last week: 233.4lbs

Weigh in this week: 233.6lbs

Next weigh in: Saturday January 29th.

Watch this week for 5 new recipes. I bought the Weight Watcher Cookbook that was out at our meeting on Saturday. I am also going to purchase the one that I have seen at Walmart for more inspiration!

Have a good week everyone!

Happy Cooking!

The Pokey Little Pork Chop

Exercise...ugh! Enough said!

I don't mind exercising, although I would prefer this weight to just melt away. I know that the only way to get it to go away is to exercise. At least 30 mins a day. At least that's what Weight Watchers recommends, well what they say is "...the American College of Sports Medicine is that you should get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise five days per week or 20 minutes of high-inensity exercise 3 days per week to maintain health and reduce your risk for chronic disease" (Mastering the basics page. 83) So I do my bit, I exercise for 30 minutes or more a day. I walk on the treadmill and I use a number of exercise DVD's. My latest favorites are a Jackie Warner DVD, a Bob Harper DVD, and a Biggest Loser Power Walking DVD. I do both the treadmill and the DVD's because I know, that once the boys are in bed I sometimes don't feel like doing anything but parking my butt on the couch and watching TV (this is the exercise that got me looking so sexy and fluffy in the first place..lol). But on those days that I don't feel like doing the extra DVD I can feel assured that I have walked at a moderate-intensity (by this they mean you can't sing and you can only have a very laboured converstation with your walking partner, and you are sweating very early on in the walk) and have gotten some exercise in!

I have been trying to increase my exercise minutes, but to be quiet frank..I get bored...lol. I just have to remind myself that I am working towards a final goal and how much better I will feel about myself when I get there. I have only 2 days (since this is supposed to be a Wednesday post) until my next weigh in...dun, dun, dun....here's hoping that the exercise has helped!

Dinner was a Honey-Mustard Pork Chop. It was really, really good. Something different. Not to mention low in points. So I piled my plate full! It looks like in the picture that I'm not eating for being on a diet...oops..I mean "Lifestlye change"...the chop itself is only 4 points! So I had 1 cup of white rice for another 4 points, and then filled the rest of my plate with cauliflower and broccoli ~ 0 points, and my salad and dressing ~ 0 points! I was stuffed! I love it! I can eat everything on my plate and not feel guilty about it...not to mention that I get Activity Points for my exercise (more on that later).

Here is the recipe:

Prep: 5 min

Broil: 10 min

Serves: 4

1/4c Dijon Mustard

4 tsp honey

1 tsp apple-cider or white wine vinegar

1/4 tsp black pepper

4 (5-oz) bone-in loin pork chops about 1 inch thick (I used boneless because that's what was on sale)

1) To make marinade, whisk mustard, honey, vinegar and pepper in a cup.

2) Transfer marinade to large zip-close plastic bag; add pork. Squeeze out air and seal bag: turn to coat pork. Chill, turning bag occasionally, at least 4 hours or overnight.

3) Spray broiler rack with nonstick spray. Preheat broiler. (I used my indoor grill...was soo good)

4) Remove chops from bag; discard marinade. Place chops on broiler rack and broil 5 inches from heat until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. (It took about 8 minutes on my grill for all 4 to be done).

Per serving: (1 pork chop) 165 cal, 5g total fat, 2g sat fat, 0g trans fat, 59mg chol, 546mg sod, 9g total carb, 5g total sugar, 0g fib, 19g protein, 17mg calcium.

Cheddar Stuffed Burgers

We are off and running at the races....or should I say; We are off and running away from the scale?..lol

So each Saturday I weigh in at my weekly meeting at Weight Watchers. I then take Saturday as a "me" day and I eat whatever I want...ONLY and ONLY if I am down on the scales! Usually sometime during the day I sit down and make up my grocery list for the week, and the meals that I plan on making. Then on Sundays I do my grocery shopping, since this is when the new weekly flyers come out. I have gotten into the habit of Cuponing as well. I can save a TONNE. Adrian is so fascinated that I can go with sometimes only $100 and we can eat 3 meals a day for a week, sometimes a week and a half! I love grocery shopping, and I think this is why Weight Watchers works so well for me. I love to spend the time looking at the products that I am buying and making sure that they will fall into a reasonable points bracket.

Now for those that don't know. Weight Watchers gives you set points that you HAVE to eat during the day. You also get a weekly points allowance. These are points you don't have to eat at all. Or you can save them up and have a splurge at the weeks end. They have them so that if you have something like a wedding you can eat and not have to feel guilty about it.

My daily points are 36. The weekly points for everyone is 49. This has recently changed. Weight Watchers has recently revamped their whole program. Everyone's points have gone up, the weekly points used to be 35! Before you used to have to count points for SOME fresh fruit and Veggies. Now ALL fresh fruit, or fruit canned in its own juices are 0 points, as well as MOST veggies. I LOVE THIS. It gives me so much more to eat during the day. I don't feel deprived or anything. Also what I love is Air Popped Popcorn has gone down in points, this has now become my staple snack. It's 1 point for 5 CUPS....5 CUPS!!! That's a whole freaking bowl!! I will make a bowl and put a little bit of butter (counting the points of course) and sit at night and munch away! (butter is 1 point for 1tsp....1 tsp isn't that much and since the popcorn is only 1 point, I usually go for 3 tsps..lol)

Each new post I will try and give you a new piece of information about the program!

I'm not going to lie...I have been craving a BURGER for days now. I supposed I could have had one for dinner on Saturday when it was my "cheat" day, but the kids wanted Pizza for dinner. So when I opened my new Weight Watchers magazine at the weekly meeting I found a recipe for Cheddar-Stuffed Burgers. Who doesn't love a cheese burger? These looked great! They were super easy to make, although I thought they were a little dry. But that could be because they are made with Lean Ground Beef. What I really liked was they were put on an English Muffin instead of a burger bun!

Here is the recipe:
1lb Lean ground beef
1 small onion
1tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp Black Pepper
8 Tbsp low-fat Cheddar Cheese
4 English Muffins split and toasted
1c thinly sliced lettuce
16 small tomato slices

1) Mix meat, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in large bowl just ubottoms of until combined. With damp hands, shape into 4 equal balls. With your finger, make a deep indentation in center of each ball. Fill each hole with 2Tbsp Cheddar. Enclose filling by pinching meat together. Shape into 4 (3/4 inch-thick) patties.

2) Spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until instant-read thermometer insterted into side of burger registers 145F for medium, about 4 minutes per side. (I just used my indoor grill and cooked them until they were no longer pink)

3) Place bottoms of muffins on 4 plates. Top each with lettuce, burgers and tomato slices; cover with tops of muffins.

This recipe can be found in the January/February 2011 Weight Watchers Magazine. It can also be found in the Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook (John Wiley & Sons, 2011)

"Mommy are you having another Baby?"

I'm fat. There I said it...*phew* No two ways about it...I have gained a significant amount of weight in the past 10 years. 100lbs to be exact! I knew that this was happening, I could see it happening, well EVERYONE could see it happening. I had attributed it to having 2 kids. But really who am I kidding. I just got lazy. I got lazy about my eating and my exercising. THAT'S what caused all of this extra weight to pile on.

I had decided that it was time to get rid of it. I have tried EVERYTHING. Low-Carbs. No-Carbs. Low-Fat. No-Fat. Slim-Fast. Jenny Craig. Nurtisystem. You name, I have probably tried it. HOWEVER, back in 2004 I had joied Weight Watchers and lost 35lbs. I managed to keep this off until I got pregnant with Cole. While pregnant I gained 42lbs. Which all but 10lbs came off in the weeks following me giving birth. These 42lbs slowly started to creep back on. I never bothered really to try and lose them. Then in 2007 I got pregnant again. This time I gained 29lbs. I know it's less then what I gained the first time around, but I was WAY heavier. I have never told anyone but my sister how much I weighed the day I had Ethan in September 2008. K...here goes....I was 244lbs! YIKES! Yes, I was FAT! After having Ethan I lost all 29lbs right away. But in the 2 years since, all but 4lbs have come back on.

So, back in October 2010 I was watching TV with Cole and the lady on the show was pregnant. Cole ever so sweetly turns to me, pats my stomach and says "Mommy, is that why you are so fat? Are you having another baby?".....ya, 2 days later on October 23, 2010, I joined Weight Watchers! I weighed in at 240lbs! 4lbs lighter then the day I had Ethan. I cried all the way home from the meeting. How could I have let this happen? I had to take charge!

I got home and cleaned out the cupboards. I made a shopping list, and stuck to it! I have counted my points, I have exercised.....I got lazy again...UGH!

It wasn't until January 1st that I decided that this year was MY YEAR! I was going to do everything I wanted to do. That includes losing 100lbs!

So this is my promise to myself. This blog is going to keep my accountable for my eating. While I have to track my points and go and weigh in every Saturday morning at my meetings, this blog is now going to keep me accountable because I have to tell all of you, My Readers, exactly how I am doing; and I am not going to lie, fudge the truth or lie by omission! In my blog I am now going to make Weight Watcher recipes that the whole family can eat and enjoy! If I can do this, anyone can!

So my progress so far, in the weeks since that fateful October 23rd weigh in, I have gone up and gone down. I was down 9lbs...and then Christmas happened and I went up 2.6lbs! uh...oh....here we go again! Nope. I had another weigh on Saturday January 15th, and I was down 1lb! For a total of 7.4lbs lost. YAY ME! Every little ounce that comes off brings me closer to my goal weight. My next weigh in is Saturday, January 22nd.

Stay tuned for Weight Watcher Recipes! There are tonnes, that I am going to be trying out!
