Day Five - Getting the hang of things

I survived the weekend.

Sunday night was a little hard. I dipped into my extra points to cover my pizza. It was worth it. I ate delicious pizza made with a wheat crust, uncured pepperoni and organic cheese while watching the new HBO series Boardwalk.  It is not as good as True Blood. I miss Bill and Sookie.

Sunday afternoon I walked more than 3.2 miles. I walked from my house to the riverfront where I met my friend Gail. Together we walked 2 miles in the park. I also walked the dog twice for at least 20 minutes. Thanks to my big brother Rod for giving me the pedometer.

Today, I had a WW frozen breakfast sandwich (4 points). The sandwich preparation is a little tricky. I find it best to take the sandwich apart and microwave each section separately. Bread (10 sec), Meat and Egg 20 sec each. I also add a tablespoon of low calorie butter substitute. The breakfast sandwich is a great option when you are running late in the morning.

I think the trick to staying on WW is planning and preparation. It is critical that I spend time working on menus and developing a "food routine."  My goal is to develop a five day meal plan with a variety of menus that are filling AND satisfying. This will help me stay on plan. I can also save my favorites online at WW.com. Recipes wanted so please share with us.

News Alert.  Judge Glenda Hatchett's new novel hit the newsstands today. Please pick up a copy. The book is called "Dare to Change." It will inspire you.

Happy dieting and have a Veggie Good Day,
