Losing

So I started Weight Watchers about a month ago and to date (today's weigh-in) I have lost 4kgs in total. Not bad I say. Considering there have been celebrations of note. Including no less than 2 birthday celebrations, my mother's and my own, Jewish new year (2 dinners), a fast and the breaking thereof, this filled the house with left overs and other goodies. Needless to say my waistline shrunk and did not expand as I had anticipated. On the off days (the ones where I was not indulging in cake and pasta), I was meticulously counting points and weighing fruit and veggies. This has spurred my weight-loss spirit on and I am determined to hit the 10 kilo goal come December. 

Favourite snacks

• Judy's cocktail gherkins (free food)
• Simply Delish Jelly (free food)
• Fruit (as fruit salad)
• Grilled veggies
• Small packet of Beigel Beigel Pretzels
• Sugar free soft drinks - low cal passion fruit cordial is yum!
• Soda Water (get a soda stream!)
• Carob and Yoghurt covered rice cakes
• Grilled chicken breasts done on the barbecue or gas braai.

Those are just some of my favourites at the moment. What I love about the plan is it teaches moderation i.e. that you can eat whatever you like as long as you account for it.
