When do we weigh in?

HI Ladies!
I love that you are so specific about what you eat in your blogs. That is helpful Jen, I think I need that pita recipe. I should have looked at the blog sooner because then maybe I would have stuck with my points today. Got off to a bad start by missing breakfast and only having the pastries at MOPS to eat in the morning ... and it went downhill from there. =( The good news is that I stepped on the scale again and it said 133 instead of 135-- so I would still like to lose 10 pounds, but that will get me closer to where I realy want to be anyway.

Maybe this is in an eariler blog, but I couldn't find it. Do we have a specific day that we weigh in? If one isn't set up yet, does someone want to weigh in with me on a certain day? In Quito we used to do Monday (to help us be good over the weekend). What do you ladies think? I like weighing in with someone because there is accountability and I am not tempted to step on the scale every day and then ride the daily weight emotional roller coaster.

I found a great, simple lunch for me -- it is about 6 points and food that lasts a long time.. which is my kind of lunch. =)

Tuna with a bit of mayo. I spread a little bit in a lettuce leaf and eat that like a little sandwich. (that makes the tuna go a long time.) I eat the whole can. Then, a serving of pretzels for carbs, an apple or other fruit, and a coke Zero.

I found a new coffee thing for less points too that I love. Instead of creamer, I put in 2 TBSP. of the french vanilla flavored whipped cream. (sorry Ruth, I doubt they have it in Ecuador-- possible that iti s not in Didsbury either) Yummy, and it is 1 point if I use splenda (which I have been trying to NOT have lately, but I may have to switch from real sugar to Splenda for the next few months). Edwin and I think we are getting old becuse we could seriously just have coffee after dinner now and call it dessert. Totally old folks, huh? Anyway, that makes for a pretty low point dessert which is nice. I usually have 2 cups if I do it that way.

Kristin, good to be in contact with you again. Your LA comment was funny... it was 80 degrees here today. Yep, I think the bulky sweater is not going to work for hiding behind anymore. That is why I am so glad that we are doing this now! However, we did buy the coldest house in Culver City (at least, that is what we keep saying to each other!) so I have been covered in bulky clothes all winter. It worked really well for me after Christmas! =)

A special hello to Ruth too! I don't think I even congratulated you on your wedding let alone your child! You go girl! =) I'd love to see a photo of your little family sometime! =)
