So...in addition to the fabulous Pop Rocks yesterday I was really at the Bulk Barn to pick up my new most favourite and loved snacks! They are only 2 Weight Watchers PointPlus points for 2 cups...which is FANTASTIC. A whole bag is only 7 points (whereas 30 chips is way more than that!). AND...most exciting of exciting...they have Tomato Ketchup flavour.
I mean...Hellllllooooooo-oooooo? That's only my favourite flavour in the whole world. Yes...seriously! I LOVE Ketchup chips, popcorn and now Chee Cha Puffs. They're kind of fabulous.
I feel healthy just by eating them. I feel better because I know I'm not hunkering down with my hand in a bag of chips. They're lovely...and you can get gluten free too. :)
Anywho...I'm in love with my Chee Cha Puffs. So when you're wondering what I'm doing in the evenings (other than blogging of course)...just know that whatever I'm doing, I now have a bowl full of Chee Cha Puffs to munch on while I'm doing it!
With Love

3lbs!
I've been on the new Weight Watchers's PointsPlus plan for 1 week and I lost 3lbs! :)
I expected to do well this week. It was my first full week of the new year, I had just come off the holidays, I had been gaining over the holidays and eating "off plan" for about 4 weeks. I was still trying to track and make healthy choices but I was still going over every week.
Plus to to add a little more pep in my step there's a whole new plan.
All of these things were just what I needed to get my butt in gear. It also helps to have a goal date.
I set my goal weight early last year but was yoyo-ing for the past 6 months. So one of my news years resolutions is my goal date. A goal weight is great but without a timeline there's no real push to get it done.
So...weight set...check...date set...check...and 3lbs right out of the starting gate! I'm good to go.
I now have 13lbs that I want to lose by Wednesday, May 18, 2011. :) I look forward to keeping this happy weight loss momentum going.
With Love

Being the It for Others
Last night at my Weight Watchers meeting I ran into someone I hadn't seen in 17 years, she was at the meeting with her sister. Not only had we known each other many years ago, but I discovered that she had also known my singing teacher many yeas ago. In talking with her and her sister I realized we knew a lot of people in common including the director of the local musical theatre production. Her sister mentioned how impressed and blown away the director was with the voice of one of the new singers when he'd first heard her at the audition. And my old friend talked about my singing teacher and the pleasure of all of their years working on the stage together.
Tonight at rehearsal I spoke with my singing teacher and upon mentioning her old friend, her face lit up. So happy that she had remembered her and how wonderful things had been back then. She was just so happy that I talked to her and had so many questions about how she's doing...I will be passing the love back at my meeting next week.
Then I was chatting with one of the other students during rehearsal. She was talking about the new musical production she was in, and how it was her first show with the company. She said she was a little nervous and really excited. When she told me the part she was playing I realized that she was the singer with whom the director had been so impressed. So I told her what I'd heard. She was just tickled pink and humble, almost bashful.
In a matter of moments I'd made two people very happy and in passing along that happiness in turn it made me very happy too :)

AYCES!
It's hard not to blog when happy things happen now! :)
I had an awesome meeting with the administration at the end of the day today (another whole It Made Me Happy right here), and it ran a little late.
My husband picks me up after work every day (I know, I'm blessed...and yup another It Made Me Happy...LOL), and so he got stuck waiting around. This gave him time to realize that we hadn't taken anything out of the freezer to thaw for dinner, while he became increasingly more and more hungry. Which led him down my favourite thought path..."Wanna go for sushi?"
I LOVE that question...and Weight Watchers or no Weight Watchers I will NEVER say no to sushi! :)
So here I am, sitting at our favourite all you can eat sushi restaurant by our house, Hockey Sushi, waiting for delicious to be served. :)
AYCES = all you can eat sushi
With Love

Getting back on track
After 4 weeks of being off plan, I started tracking again today. Yup I'm a Weight Watcher. I lost 33lbs in 6 months, but then have only managed to maintain 25 of that loss for the past 18 months. Although I'll be honest, I haven't been working at losing all that much.
I decided before Christmas to pay attention, but not to track or attend meetings or worry too much. The plan was and is, to go back to tracking and attending meetings in the new year, with the goal of not only losing weight, but of hitting my goal weight by Victoria Day weekend (which really means the weigh in on the Wednesday before te Victoria Day weekend).
So today was my first, full-fledged day of tracking, and though I went over my points by a little, I am feeling much healthier already! I am not even disappointed in having gone over, as I worked very hard at it today, realized where I can improve tomorrow and plan on fixing it.
Thank you weight watchers, will power and self-control...they made me happy today! :)
