Weight Watchers, Reconsidered

There are lots of times that I have said to myself "I can do this for 10 minutes. I can do anything for 10 minutes". And more often than not, it is true that anyone can literally do anything for 10 minutes: sit through a terrible work meeting, listen to someone berate you on the phone, sort through millions of pictures to find the one you need, walk your dog in the blazing heat, get through a class, pack up moving boxes, listen to voicemails....

Except WW doesn't really work like that. It's kind of an all the time thing. And I still like to eat. I enjoy it. And I still kind of don't care when i feel really full, because I secretly love laying on the couch like "ohhh that was so good" (in regards to whatever it was for dinner).

So in however many weeks I've been doing WW (just 2 more to go until Lifetime!), I sort of expected to have this major revelation and just stop eating. And enjoy vegetables more than I enjoy bread with butter. And not feel like I have to have a lot of hot dogs whenever hot dogs are being made.

You can imagine how disappointed I am because sadly, it is not that way. Tomatoes do not suddenly taste like movie popcorn. I would still rather eat a Chipotle burrito than a garden salad with grilled chicken.

This is hard.

Still.

I really have to think about what I'm eating, and when I don't, the scale creeps up a little bit. I think (hope) that I'm still within 2 pounds of my goal weight, but I'm not 100% sure. My home scale is a bit wonky, and because I don't have to go to WW meetings weekly, I don't. Clearly that is the first problem. I really need to go to meetings, even if WW says I don't have to. The second problem is that I'm not in a place where I can stop tracking. I need to do that too. I am pretty good about it, but I do need to be better. I know that.

Basically, I need to stop hoping that I'm going to make Lifetime in the next 2 weeks and just make a concentrated effort. Duh. It's that simple.

(except I really like to eat....)

Week Review

This week marks the first time since I was pregnant that I actually worked out.

To clarify: I did work out for the first few weeks I was pregnant. Then I was just walking. Then I was ok with just being plump & pregnant and trying to drink enough water was exercise in it self. After I gave birth, I did WW and dropped 60 lbs and am back to my pre-pregnancy weight by solely watching what I eat. I figured this was a good week to get my butt into gear.

Back to the recap.

I hit the treadmill for 30 minutes on Tuesday (some incline, some intervals), did a quick 30 minute circuit on Wednesday (10 min ARC trainer, 10 min cycling, 10 min running), and took an hour long Power Yoga class this morning.

Also? I didn't buy one Starbucks Frap this week, which is a total WIN. See yesterday's post for how I made that happen.

I have a weight goal for the time I go on vacation. I don't know how feasible it is, so my other goal is to just work out at least 3x a week. OK, if we're being honest here.... my new fitness efforts were totally spurred by this post. Ashley at The Domestic Wannabe totally lit a fire under my butt.

Game on.

7 months later...

I hit my goal at Weight Watchers.

I finally freaking hit my goal. Thank God, because paying for WW was kind of getting expensive.

I love charts and tidy little lists, so here's how that whole 60 lb weight loss went down:

• In 38 weeks of pregnancy, I put on a hot 60 lbs.
• In the first 6 weeks postpartum, I lost 40 lbs. FORTY POUNDS in SIX WEEKS. Holy crap. I assume the majority of that weight was my almost 9 lb baby, a heavy duty placenta, and a crapload of water weight. I mean, my ankles were like coke cans...
• I started Weight Watchers at 6 weeks postpartum. I was nursing, and I got so many points that I will admit I didn't keep track as well as I should have. However, I did lose 9 pounds in the first 6 weeks on WW.
• In total, I lost 20 lbs on WW in 24 weeks. I will admit that the last 6 weeks were a struggle... my pants fit, so the last 4 lbs weren't a huge deal. Except I really wanted to hit goal... so I sucked it up and did everything I could to lose the last 0.8 lb.
• May 27 - GOAL Weight, which also happens to be my pre-pregnancy weight.

So I officially lost the weight and just have to maintain that weight (within 2 lbs +/-) for the next 6 weeks. Then I can stop paying!!! And I can spend that $40 a month on size 2 pants at the GAP. Fun fact - that happened on Saturday. I've been wearing size 4 pants but tried on a 2 for shits and giggles. They fit. Better than the 4s. I almost shit myself, then I bought them. It was a glorious day.

Even though I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight (which coincidentally is the lightest I've even been in my adult life), I still have some toning to do. I need to find time to work out. I want to say "I need to find time to work out, but I'd rather be fooling around on Pinterest", but I'm not going to say it. I'm going to think it, though. And while I'm thinking it, I will be dragging my husband, dog, and baby on an after dinner walk.

The plan is to start slow with post-dinner walks. It'll be good for us, and even better for our pup (who turned 7 on Friday). Once we get into that routine, maybe I'll feel the urge to do more. Or at least, I hope. We went on a walk today around 7:30p, and it nice. The sun had gone down enough that it wasn't blazing hot out, but it was still warm enough for the baby to enjoy the warm air on her bare feet.

Baby toes are so munch-able... did you know?

Friday Random

I have a whole list of things to write about when i get a second:

• Pinterest. Like a virtual scrapbook of all the cool stuff I find on the internet. You'll need an invite if you want to join, so leave a message at the bottom with your email. Then you too can waste hours of your day pinning things to your boards.
• Birchbox. Like a magazine subscription, except instead of a monthly magazine, they send high-end make-up samples. It's amazing.
• Mocha Coconut Frappachinos from Starbucks. I love them.
• Weight Watchers - I am 0.8 lbs away from my goal, which is also my pre-pregnancy weight. I have been hovering here for 3 weeks now, which is so aggravating because I really thought I could hit my pre-pregnancy weight by Baby Girl's 6 month birthday. Well, that was 3 weeks ago, and I was about 1.5 lbs away from goal. All of my pants fit, so it shouldn't be such a big deal... but it is ::insert whine here:: because if I can just hit my stupid goal than I can stop paying for WW.
• I ordered a bathing suit from Athleta.com and I am so excited to get it.
• I will have a 7 month old baby and a 7 year old dog next week... though I'm not sure how because I'm pretty sure they were both really small, like yesterday.

So glad it's Friday.

50

WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!

In the last 11.5 weeks, I have lost exactly 50 lbs. FIFTY!!!

Pre-pregnancy, I was the skinniest I have ever been and now I only have 10 more pounds to go till I hit that number again. Granted, most of the pregnancy weight came off rather quickly because I did have an almost 9 lb child, and I was extra swollen with what I assume was a massive quantity of water weight.... but I started doing Weight Watchers 6 weeks ago and have lost 9.6 lbs following the new Points Plus program.

Yep. So I'm hoping that the last 10 pounds fall off just as easily in the next 6 weeks.

That would mean a 60 lb loss in 17 weeks. That's some Biggest Loser weight loss, right there.

Want a happy husband?

Tell him you're making Chipotle tonight. Be prepared for much skepticism and ridicule. Do not be deterred.

I made rice and shredded chicken last night. I made a nice bed of rice, layered the chicken and veggies over top, and dressed it with a little fat free sour cream and some Kraft Free cheddar.

And then a gave it to my highly skeptical, Chipotle-loving husband. Rave reviews spewed forth. It was a very good night at our nest.

The best part, of course, was that both recipes had WW points attached to them... the bad part was that I had a total disregard for the portion size when I tasted the rice. At least I know how many points I ate, right?

Trust me on this one.

A mixed bag.

Friday thoughts:

LOST comes back in 4 days. We watched the final episode from last season the other day, and I totally forgot how much I love that show. Can't wait for it to come back.

Teen Mom post-season show with Dr. Drew on Tuesday night. Am I the only one excited to see this?

iTouch: Please come to my house + be my friend. I heart you.

I am so sick of the winter. It's freezing cold, everything is all static-y, and I hate having to be bundled up in thick clothes. Spring, please.

Dinner at Pazo last night was amazing. I am now on a mission to gather up our friends to have a tapas + cocktail night at one of Pazo's lounge areas. There's a few big tables with couches on all 4 sides for lounging, eating, drinking, and general grown-up hanging out. It looks fabulous. Just like the food.

If you have red nail polish on and you chip it, you can totally fix it with a red Sharpie. I did, and it looks less whore-ish than leaving it chipped.

In 12 weeks of WW, I have dropped 2 full pant sizes. WW is expensive in that it costs money to do the program, and it costs money to buy pants that do not hang off my ass. It is also expensive in that once you see what size pants you now wear, you buy them in bulk because seeing a "4" stamped on the inside of said pants is the highlight of your day.

Happy Friday!

Make this. Now.

Per this week's menu, I made Peruvian Chicken for dinner last night.

I threw the chicken in the marinade on Monday night, but I didn't have a bag, so I put it in a big pot. But the big pot didn't let the chicken really marinate because the little bit of liquid in the bottom only went up about an inch. So I tripled it, and prayed for the best.

Holy crap, it was the best chicken I have ever had in my life. I believe my husband threw around phrases like "You've really outdone yourself" and "Please make this again". Behold, the perfect chicken:

Yes, it's cut in half. And yes, the skin is really that delicious:

The meat just fell off the bones:

And the green sauce (check the recipe) was delicious. I skipped the cilantro because I didn't feel like buying a whole bunch just to use 2 tablespoons, but it was seriously good. And green. And spicey as hell.

I tried to get a shot of the sauce on Ryan's plate, but I was too slow. If you look at the left side of the picture, you can see the blur where his fork is moving very swiftly towards his mouth.

You need to put this on your list of Must Try Recipes. It's so worth it.

Sunday Dinner

We normally go grocery shopping on Sundays, but it was cold and rainy this past Sunday (and I knew I could go on Monday because we were off from work) and I had no desire to leave my house. Except to get a DD latte and the Sunday paper with my sister (so we could clip coupons together).

So with no new groceries and no real plan, I looked through the cabinets and came up with a damn good dinner!

Chicken with Pasta & Veggies

Ingredients for Pasta & Veggies

• half cup of Smart Taste Pasta elbows
• 1 bell pepper, chopped
• half an onion (I used red), chopped
• 1 cup chopped fresh broccoli
• crushed garlic (I use far more than the average person)

Directions

Cook the pasta according to box directions, drain, and set aside. Spray a skillet with non-stick spray. Add all of the chopped veggies and cook over medium heat; be sure to stir it so that nothing sticks. When veggies are cooked to desired done-ness (I like mine still slightly crunchy), add the pasta and stir over medium heat to blend. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Ingredients for Chicken

• thin cut chicken breast
• fresh cracked pepper
• non-stick cooking spray

Directions for Chicken

Spray a frying pan with non-stick spray. Over medium heat, lay the cutlets side by side. Spray the chicken (which ever side is up) with non-stick spray and immediately grind pepper over the entire thing. Cover it good. And then flip both pieces. The other side will not be done, but that is good. Spray that side with non-stick spray, and again cover the entire side with ground pepper. Both sides should be pretty well coated with pepper now. Just cook till done!

Complete the Meal
Split the pasta and veggies between two plates. Cut up each chicken breast, and lay over pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serves 2. WW points per serving: 7

Menu Monday

You know the drill.

Monday: No work for us today! Ryan requested Adobe Chicken Breast with Yellow Rice and Sweet Potato Fries, so that's what we're having. I may skip the rice though, since I can't stick to just one serving... unless a serving is approximately a pound. Sadly, WW seems to think a serving is 1/4 cup, which is barely even a taste of rice.

Tuesday: We're both home for dinner again! I have a whole frozen chicken from last week when it was buy one, get one free, so I'm going to try out this Peruvian Roasted Chicken with Aji Verde. I'll put everything together on Monday night so it can marinate and then throw it in the oven when I get home from work on Tuesday. Will serve with salad.

Wednesday: I'm at real work late tonight, so I'm taking leftover Taco Chicken from this weekend (I froze the leftovers in individual servings) and Ryan's having leftover Peruvian Chicken from last night.

Thursday: I'm officiating volleyball tonight, which leaves Ryan home alone again. Sadness. Taco chicken again for me, and pasta for him.

Friday: Off to Job #2. I am a terrible wife. It's my last night with Taco Chicken, and it's a Boca chicken and salad for Ryan.

Saturday: Both home for dinner for the first time in 4 nights, so I'm making Spaghetti with Mushrooms and Garlic and serving it with a huge glass of wine. And maybe some salad.

Sunday: I don't have my Job #2 work schedule yet, so I may be working. Who knows... I'll figure this out mid-week.

Can you tell I'm on a big Gina's WW Recipes kick? She has a ton of great recipes and I love looking through them for inspiration... plus, there's pictures of everything. I love looking at food. Happy Monday, lovelies!

Menu Monday

Another Monday.... and my second weekly menu! My sister is coming down on Friday for the weekend and she's bringing some nice Jersey pizza dough for homemade pizzas, so I'm only worry about doing grocery shopping for Monday-Thursday for right now. Sadly enough, I'm only home for dinner on one of those days, so it should be cheap and easy.

Monday: I'm at Job #2 and Ryan is working late, too. Boca chicken patty, yogurt, and crackers & salsa for me, sandwich for him.

Tuesday: Turkey Meatloaf Muffins and butternut squash fries (done the same as sweet potato fries)... both are WW recipes which I'll review on Wednesday!

Wednesday: Going to Job #2 again. Leftovers for me, rice and meatloaf for him.

Thursday: Another late night. I'm taking a Boca chiken patty and Progresso tomato soup. Ryan is making pasta.

-------------------
I'll do grocery shopping on Friday morning for the weekend since my sister is coming down and I haven't figured out what we're doing just yet (besides making pizza and ice cream).
-------------------
I'm looking for freeze-ahead and slow cooker recipes, so if you have any good ones, please leave me a comment below with the recipe or link to your blog (or recipe source)!

Slow Cooker Goodness

On Monday I threw this out there for the world to see. So far, so good! We're sticking to our menu, which means we're sticking to our budget. 9 days in and we're still doing good.

I want to say that the Sloppy Joes lasted as many "leftover" days as I had budgeted for, but um... not so much. It was done that night. 6 servings between 2 people. This is a problem folks. On the up side, we skipped the bread and just put it in a bowl (yes, it's that good). On the down side... 6 servings between 2 people.

At least it was a Weight Watchers recipe, right?

So, for your viewing/culinary pleasure, here's the recipe from the WW Momentum Cookbook (paraphrased by me):

Low-and-Slow Slopp Joes
Need:
1 lb. lean ground beef (7% fat or less)
1 (14.5 oz) can of diced tomatoes
1 small onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped (I left it our; we don't like celery)
3 TBSP dark brown sugar
2 TSP Worcestershire sauce
1.5 TSP cumin
1 TSP chili powder (I was liberal)
1/2 TSP salt
6 whole wheat sandwich rolls

To Do:

1. Brown the meat in a non-stick pan with some Pam over medium heat. Be sure to break it all up nicely.
2. Transfer meat to slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients, except for rolls (duh). Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
3. 1/2 cup of sloppy joe per roll. Or just put it in a bowl with maybe some shredder cheddar cheese. Holy crap, it's good.

If you eat a 1/2 cup of sloppy joe on a roll, it's 4 points per serving. If you eat 3 servings with no roll.... I estimated 8 points. But who knows. I guess I could put the ingredients into the WW recipe builder, but I'm too lazy. Sorry.

I know a lot of folks don't like to make crock pot stuff that needs browning or additional steps before hand. Here's the thing - just do it the night before, and put it in the fridge. Then assemble it in the morning and turn it on. The browning takes 5 minutes. Just do it.

Obsessed

I'm doing WW at Work and have been torturing my poor husband with Boca Chik'n Patties and lots of Craisin-Bleu Cheese Salads (before you "poor him", you should know that he also dropped some pounds) because they're easy to make, tasty, and I can count the Points.

While I could probably live on Boca chik'n patties and Progresso Tomato Basil soup for the next 10 weeks, my husband may not survive.

Enter my new favorite blog. Gina's WW Recipes has a ton of different recipes, most using things you'd have around the house anyway (nothing weird = bonus), and all looking super good. I'm on a No Shopping Strike right now, seeing as we leave on Wednesday for Christmas in NJ, so as soon as we get back, I'm heading out to the store to pick up stuff for this, this, and this.

Bliss

I got the KitchenAid Ice Cream Attachment the other day and I can't even explain to you my deep, undying love for it.

The best part about homemade ice cream (besides the fact that I know exactly what's in it) is the ability to invent flavors (and not wait for Ben and/or Jerry to come up with it first). My new favorite, plus the recipe should you want to replicate this deliciousness:

Vanilla-Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
1 cup of Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking
1.5 cups of fat-free half and half
1 cup of light cream
3/4 cup + 2 TBSP Eggbeaters
1 TBSP Vanilla Extract
1 TBSP Mint Extract
3/4 cup of shaved chocolate chips (put the chips in a food processor)

Directions:
Mix all ingredients (except chips) in a bowl. Add to the ice cream attachment, following all manufactuers directions. Mix for 28 minutes. Add chips in last two minutes, and continue mixing until blended (about 2 min). Pour ice cream into freezer safe container and put in freezer for atleast 4 hours (over night is better). Enjoy.

Makes 2 quarts, which is about 16 half cup servings. Each serving is only 3 WW points :-)

EDIT: Holy crap, if you have an ice cream attachment and you like pumpkin, you need to get on this pumpkin ice cream. It's unreal. And if you use heavy cream, but sub out regular sugar for Splenda Sugar Mix, then it's also only 3 WW points per half cup serving. You're welcome.

I got my hair cut this weekend

and my hair dresser asked me if I had lost weight. I was basically thrilled to death, seeing as I'm paying through the nose to do Weight Watchers at Work. Yes, the scale is creeping down, but to have someone notice was pretty stellar.

I figured I'd share my secret weapons with you because... well because I really like them and you might, too.

I'm normally not a huge fan of tomato soup because it's thin and doesn't really have great flavor. The only place I really ever get tomato soup is at Jason's Deli, where it's a little chunkier and has bits of stewed tomatos and basil. Yum. This Progresso soup, however, is the best canned tomato soup that I've tried:It's 2 WW points per serving, or 4 points for the whole can (I obviously go for the whole can). It pairs really well with grilled cheese or even a salad. I've actually been makinmg salads for work with Italian mix lettuce, 1/4 cup of Craisins, 1/4 cup low fat blue cheese crumbles, and Kraft Free Balsamic dressing for a total of 5 points. If I do the salad, I have 1/2 the can of soup for a total of 7 points for lunch. I really hate the cliche of "oh it's so filling" (because let's face it, the only thing that's really filling is a load of bread dipped on olive oil), but it really is.... lame, I know. But I can have that for lunch and really not be hungry till dinner around 6pm.

Of course, in the event that I do get hungry between lunch and dinner, this is my go to snack:

15 Fiber Select Wheat Thins and a salsa cup for a total of 2 points. The salsa is sooooo good and I find that the Garden Vegetable Wheat Thins are more salty (thus better) than the 5-Grain kind.

And here's my go-to lunch and dinner staple:

I basically live on these. These are cheaper than the Bocca Chik'n Patties at my grocery store, but they taste basically the same. And I honestly can't tell the difference between these and regular chicken patties (and neither can my husband!!!). They're great chopped up over salad or over mac & cheese, or with veggies. For dinner on Saturday, I cooked one and chopped it up into little bits and put the bits into the Progresso Tomato Basil soup. Yum. One chik'n patty is just 3 points (so sometimes I have 2 a day) and I could eat them any time, any place.

And for a really sweet (low points) late night treat, I make SwissMiss hot chocolate (the low fat kind that has only 20 calories or something crazy) and float half a cup of mini marshmallows on top. I wait till the marshmallows get a little melty and gooey and go to town (all for like 2 or 3 points, depending on the amount of marshmallows).

Anyone else on the WW bandwagon? Or have any go-to foods they love when trying to keep an eye on the scale?

This is why I don't keep this crap in my house.

This morning started out ok. WW smoothie with a little peanut butter. Morning snack was a WW 2 points bar. Lunch was 2 scrammbled eggs with a slice of fat free ceddar cheese. Afternoon snack was a Vitatop.

Then I got home.

And saw the can of Pringles staring at me from the kitchen counter.

So I ate them. I ate probably half a can of Pringles while reading the latest Redbook (for some reason I get this delivered to my house. I never paid for a subscription, nor signed up for it, so I have no idea why it's come to me the last 3 months).

All of that salty goodness was making my mouth dry so I got up to get some water. While grabbing a water from the fridge, I saw the tube of red frosting I used to make the 5 on Marley's birthday cake. I decided this would be much tastier than the water, so I ate the rest of the tube.

Now I feel like hell. And this is exactly the reason I don't keep this crap in my house - because I have ZERO self-control and my rationale is not "Just don't eat it"... it's "Eat it all now so there isn't any more for later."

And I was doing so well with Weight Watchers... I'm officially down 6.8 pounds in the last 7 weeks. Weigh in on Tuesday is soooooo not going to be pretty.

Kill me.

Dinner Success

It's not that Ryan is tough to feed. This is either due to his exceptionally adventurous palate and my great cooking ability, or his knowledge that either he can eat what I feed him or he can cook and clean up for himself. I choose to believe that the first scenario.

That being said, there are times where I'll make something and he'll let me know that while it was fine, I probably shouldn't make it again. Ever. Tonight was not one of those nights.

In my attempt to make real dinner (read: not one pot meals) that was still WW friendly and yet a step up from grilled chicken and veggies, I spent a great deal of time this weekend looking up recipes. I found a few on 3 Fat Chicks and a few on Dotties Weight Loss Zone; I highly recommend both sites if you're in a rut and need some inspiration. I found my inspiration for tonight's dinner on Dottie's site... Coke Chicken.

The recipe is insanely easy: 1 pound of chicken, a cup of ketchup, a can of Diet Coke. Dump everything in a skillet, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked (about 20 min. if you cut up the chicken, about 45 min. if you leave the breasts whole). Then uncover, bring back to a boil and stir until the sauce is all stuck to the chicken. Done.

I paired the chicken with chopped sauteed zucchini: 2 whole zucchini all chopped up in 1 tablespoon of EVOO. Season with whatever you like; I used something Ryan bought called Salad Magic. Saute. It's delish.

The chicken serves 4, and it's 4 points per serving. The zucchini serves 2, and is 2 points per serving (because of the EVOO, which your body needs). And wouldn't you know, Ryan loved it.

Don't think he watched me pour the Coke into the pan and said "Wow, that looks great!". No sir. There was skepticism and sarcasm abound. But then I brought him a plate, and he tentatively put it in his mouth. 15 minutes later he was getting more. I kick so much ass in the kitchen. Even if I do make my chicken with Diet Coke.

Mexican Deliciousness

Here we are, fully on the Weight Watchers bandwagon. Thing is, we heart Mexican food soooo hard..... and most mexican food is loaded with cheesy goodness, which is no bueno for my waistline. After hours of scouring the internet, I have a winner. This taco bake passed the husband test and got 2 Thumbs Up! Lucky for me, it's only 6 points per serving and filling. We both win... read on for the delicious details.

King Ranch Chicken
Serves 4

Ingredients
1 bell pepper, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 can Healthy Request Cream of Chicken Soup
1 can of Niblets corn
1 10oz can of Rotel tomatos (we used Original -it has some serious kick)
3/4 cup of cubed chicken
4 whole wheat tortillas, torn into big chunks
1/3 cup of shredded Mexican cheese (low fat)

Instructions
Spray a skillet with Pam. Dump in the chicken and cook it up good. In another skillet, saute the pepper and onion. Once thats cooked up, add the soup, Rotel, corn, and chicken. Stir. Heat it all up. Spray an 8x8 pan with Pam. Spoon in enough of the soup mix to cover the bottom of the pan. Then put down a layer of torn tortillas. Add more soup mix, then more tortillas. End with tortillas (you may not need all 4; I didn't), and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Throw it in the oven at 350 for 25 minutes, or until it's hot and bubbly.

I found the original recipe at Dottie's Weight Loss Zone and modified it (corn adds 1 point per serving). Check it out here.

I need someone to tell me that I'm fat.

So last week I joined Weight Watchers. Today was my first weigh-in, and let me tell you... when I got on that scale, I saw visions of RedBull and vodka's from Saturday night's festivities. Being on that scale is the longest 30 seconds... but all of the points counting is so worth it when you look at your little book and see a minus sign next to a number.

My starting weight last week was 151.6. My weigh in today was a hot 148.0! Down 3.6 in a week..... and before you burst my bubble, I know its freakin' water weight. I know this. Just let me enjoy the fact that it was a loss, ok? And let me enjoy the leftover Cadbury eggs I have, too.

FYI - Cadbury Eggs = 4 points each, which is sooooo much less than I was expecting. So I'm eating the 2 I have left (you know, so they're gone), using some of my flex points, and carrying on with my week.

Anyone else doing WW? Any good recipes to be had?
