0 Points Plus Wonder of the World - Sugar Free Jell-o Strawberry

How awesome is the new points plus system?

Want something that is filling (a bit) and sweet at the same time?

May I recommend Sugar Free Jell-O of the Strawberry variety.



The back and the numbers are such:



Putting this through the calculator, it is 0 points plus for 4 servings (which is one box) and is not 1 point until you hit 6 servings (a box and a half).

Yum Yum Yum!

Enjoy :0P

Weight Watchers Smoothie Pancakes (3 PTS+)

So you are craving pancakes??? So was I.

My wife got me the Weight Watchers Smoothies (both Vanilla and Chocolate) and mentioned there was a recipe for pancakes. Who doesn't like pancakes? You know what... I don't want to know if there is anyone out there.

What do you need to make these 3 Points Plus pancakes you ask?



You need:

1 Weight Watchers Smoothies (your choice of flavor)
2 Egg Whites
2 TBSP of Water

It helps if you have the Star Wars Pancake molds as it may make them taste better. And then you need a Darth Vader spatula to flip these tastey treats.

Instructions:

Combine 2 egg whites, 2 TBSP of Water and 1 Smoothie packet.

It should look like this:



This will make 2 Star Wars Heads or 1 Star Wars head and a weird looking oval shaped pancake.



The Chocolate ones, when crisp reminded me of Cocoa Krispies. The Vanilla ones were quite tasty too. There is no need for syrup as they are sweet on their own. The Vanilla ones (also) would make very good crepes.

Until the next time....

May The Force Be With You!

MOTIVE-ation

So I went to the gym today.

It is my first time since the Disney run (5K).

I had a list of 1000 things I could do or would rather do than go to the gym.

But I went.

It was only a 30 minute run, but it was good to get back to it.

I think I will start posting my runs and such so I can have a "running" total of the number of miles I have accomplished this year.

If anyone is reading this... what motivates you?

Trenta puts a denta in your day

So check this out:



Just look at that....
REALLY look at it.

How much is too much?

At what point does our body tell us "enough is enough" and that "now... after 1000 ml it is time to stop."

As per Google the conversion rate of ml to ounces is 1 ml = 0.0338140227 US fluid ounces. With this in mind... the Trenta is 916 ml or 31 (30.97) ounces. For example Weight Watchers recommends that you drink 6 8ounces of water per day. That is 48 ounces. With the Trenta sized serving, that is about 65% of your daily suggested liquid intake for the day. IN ONE SITTING.

Throw calories into the mix and God only knows what you are ingesting.

As an example:



The above are approximations only......

If you have 29 points in a day... you can say goodbye to any real meals.

It is all about balance. A Yin and a Yang approach.

Find what makes you happy and work with it.

Wishing you happy and healthy eating!

Welcome....

So..

I am not sure what I am going to focus on here.....

Perhaps it will encompass a lot of things.
