Weight Watchers Update: the Classic Slip up

I had been doing really well on WW... I had lost almost 6 pounds which was a healthy loss and then when I had felt the success I began to eat more thinking well my extra points plus could be used but than it became an every day occurrence. I was over and a few days I had ate things that I knew I shouldn't eat (molten lava cake!) 

I had been going to meetings on Saturday mornings but wasn't really connecting to the group/leader so I stopped going which was one reason I started to slip up. 

So last Wednesday, I went with Hay who has lost 72 pounds and her sister Whit who is down to her weight before her pregnancy! Omgosh! Amazing! 

Their leader,was amazing! She was personable and very genuine about weight loss...unfortunately, she only does one meeting a week and I normally work my second job so she suggested going to a different meeting location which I am going to start this weekend. 

My mom who has been a lifetime member decided we would start texting each other how many points we used that day which I feel will be very helpful and will keep me honest about obtaining my goals. I want to lose: 47 pounds and I know I can use weight watchers to get there...I just have to make the lifestyle changes so that I can treat myself with more respect... I hope that my blog will help me along the way!

Chili Cook Off

Hay and I have entered ourselves into a chili cook off at work. She has an awesome recipe...which betting on her fabulous chicken parm recipe hopefully it will be a winner. However, I wanted to challenge us to make a chicken chili because it is much healthier than beef and because of my genetic mutation I don't eat a lot of red meat (red meat over time has been linked to increases of colon cancer). 

So, Hayleigh and I have been toying with this idea for a month and yesterday when we got together  we bought all of the ingredients and were on our way back to her place when I scrolled down and noticed we were going to need a food processor. Whoopsies. Hayleigh and I then decided due to our hunger and the fact that we had just been paid that we should dine out and try this recipe again later when we have all the necessary ingredients and equipment.

Hay and I have a long list of things that we say that we are going to do but haven't done everything to fruition. But, that is what makes us, us. 

The chili cooking (actual cooking) will continue on Monday. Stay tuned.

Any awesome chili recipes out there?
