I wanted to go into a little more of my daily routine.
For tracking:
As much as I love Weight Watchers so far, I felt like I needed another source to help me track calorie, fat, protein (etc.) intake. I am using an Ipod App called Calorie Counter. Not only do I put all of my food and activities in it, but it tells me specifically if I am not eating enough fiber or eating too much saturated fat. I really like it. I think combined with WW, I will have all the tools I need to succeed this time.
For my activities:
I am doing P90x with my husband. I am doing 4 out of the 6 days required. The other two days I am either walking (if it is not snowing) or using my elliptical. I love P90x and it really helps that my husband is doing it as well. He is also eating the same meals as I am, which helps A LOT. I hate it when I have to make him something else, and I am craving it while I eat my separate meal.
For my food:
I am eating so much more now! Before I would only eat once a day. (I know, I know, soooo not good for you!) I find that I am more hungry now and that I am able to eat smaller meals throughout the day. I also use a website called skinnytaste.com The lady that runs it has wonderful recipes and they have the WW points at the bottom of each entry. Right now I am eating Southwestern Black Bean Salad with baked scoops. It is REALLY good! The salad is only 3 points and the chips are another 3. I attached a picture of it! (Site is messing up, will be up soon) She has so many good recipes; I can't wait to try all of them.
I am making my Christmas gifts for family and friends this year. It wouldn't be so bad if I was making scarfs or homemade cards... I am making rum balls, chocolate covered cherries, and fudge. Oh the temptations! Here are all the ingredients lined up:
I have been really good; I have only tried one a piece (to taste test of course) and I put it in my PP Tracker. I bake and decorate cakes as a hobby since I have a lot of free time in Germany. If you want to see my work you can go here:

Most would think that making cakes would be disastrous when you are trying to make a lifestyle change, but I really have not had any problems. The cakes are for customers so I can't eat a piece of it and I don't lick the spoons!
So that is all for now. Until next time!
