I'm posting really late tonight because it was yet another super busy night in the crisis unit. I worked my butt off. Oh, but if it were that easy. (sigh)
Anyweigh, I tried a little Fat Club tip and I think it's going to work out pretty well. They suggested you cook a box of wheat pasta and then portion out 1 cup servings and freeze them individually for future use. It's easy, quick and tastes pretty good. I tried it in a cheesy broccoli pasta today but will be finding other creative ways to use them.
Do you have any tips to share? I'm always looking for ideas. :)

MB and I really haven't seen each other for the past week because he worked some extra hours. Our schedules just haven't coordinated too well. Today, we decided to go out to lunch at our favorite Indian buffet.
I know, a buffet! What were we thinking?
We just love Indian food so much. We used to go to this particular buffet once or twice a week. At least we've been cutting that out.
But anyway, WW has some points values for Indian food, but not many. I'm going to try and figure it out as best I can.

The first day of a new week.

Weigh in!
It's that time again. This week really seemed to fly by for me. I don't think I did too well this week. I know I overate on a few occasions. I also did not get any exercise in like I wanted to. Overall, not a great week.
I did track all my food every day though. Even on the days that I overate, I still kept track of the points I was consuming. I count that as a positive.
So how did all of this reflect on the scale? 197.4. I maintained. I'm not ecstatic about this but I am content. I know I didn't do my best this week but I know I will do better next week. That's what it's all about, isn't it? Sticking with it.
How are you guys doing?
I'll be stopping by the Scale Junkie later to check in with everyone.
