Today will be my first day of being back on my diet.  I feel pretty good about it too, because you know what??  I weighed today, and instead of gaining during the time spent off of my diet, I’ve actually lost 1.4 lbs!  I’m just totally shocked, but VERY relieved.

I’m going to be changing my weekly recaps to Tuesdays, because I will be going to a different Weight Watchers meeting at another location.  So my new meeting will be tomorrow afternoon.  It just works better for my schedule, and my SIL goes too, so it will be nice to have her there for support.

So hopefully all this sickness will be behind us.  My son is the last to finally get over it, so I think we are done.  I’m actually looking forward to the summer, because the kids usually stay well and aren’t constantly bringing stuff home anymore.  The weather has been great, and I’m going to get out with the babies today, and try to start my walking.  That’s about it, hopefully we’ll have more to post tomorrow!  Until then….I’m out!

Thanks for stopping by Making Mommy Hot! Have a great day!

I think I’ve had the flu.  All I know, is that I’ve felt absolutely horrible, and I haven’t felt like sticking to my diet or anything.  Went to the doctor today (have an ear infection BTW) and weighed.  According to their scales, I haven’t gained, so that made me feel pretty good.  Hopefully, once I start feeling better, I’ll get back on track.  So, there is no Weight Watchers update for me today, because I didn’t go.  It was my last week that I had already paid for, so I didn’t feel too bad about it, especially since I got to weight at the docs.  I’m gonna start back fresh next week, and I’m going to start going to a different meeting at a new location.  My SIL goes to this one, so it will be nice to have someone I know go with me.  Until then…I’m out.

I’m actually in shock…and I’ll tell you why. I’ve been really down this week plus I think I’m coming down with something, and so I’ve been feeling sorry for myself. So to make a long story short…I have totally gone off my diet! That is why I was so surprised that I showed a loss at Weight Watchers tonight. I keep telling myself that it will eventually catch up with me, but then I told myself, “NO! I just need to work extra hard this week and really stick to it, and hopefully I’ll break even next week.”

This weigh in today just boosted my mood and my self confidence! I can do this! I just need to tell myself, “No more Pizza, no more Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chip cookies and absolutely no more Chinese food!!” I don’t know what’s been wrong with me, but I’ve just been craving everything I love here lately, and the Chinese Restaurant down the road has just been “calling me”. I finally broke down, and ordered the other night, and I made myself sick. To be honest, I really didn’t eat a whole lot, I mean I didn’t binge or anything, I guess my stomach is just not used to eating that stuff anymore and has shrunk or something.

But back to my self-confidence. That’s why I really love Weight Watchers, the meetings and the support. It really helps to be able go and be around other people that are going through the same thing I am. They are experiencing the same ups and downs. Losing weight is REALLY hard! Believe me, I know, because I’ve been struggling with it all my life. I’ve just got to keep on truckin’, because I have come too far to stop now!

My sister had given me a chicken enchilada casserole recipe several years ago, so I was scouring the net today to find an alternative to it, and I think I’ve found it and I’m going to make it this weekend! This sounds soooo good, and I kind of like how you divide the mixture up and roll it into the tortillas. My sister’s recipe had the tortillas torn into pieces throughout the casserole. This recipe yields 8 servings, and each serving is only 6 points each.

Chicken Enchilada Casserole – Low fat – 6 points

4 Boneless chicken breast halves (cubed)

8 flour tortillas

1 Medium onion (chopped)

2 Cloves of garlic (chopped)

1/4 cup of cilantro

2 cups of reduced-fat cheddar cheese

1 can of low-fat cream of chicken soup

1/2 cup of skim or fat free milk

1 can (16 oz) of green chili enchilada sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9×13 inch dish with cooking spray. Saute chicken. Add onion and garlic. Cook until onion is brown. In a large bowl, combine the chicken with the enchilada sauce, onion, garlic, cilantro, and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese. Divide the chicken mixture among the 8 tortillas. Roll tortillas and place seam-side down in dish. Spread soup and milk mixture over roll-ups and top with the remaining cheese. Bake 30 minutes.

You just don’t know how good I felt last night when I heard the Weight Watchers rep say that!  I couldn’t believe it!

Yes, I know I’m behind on my Weekly Recap, I’ve just been SUPER busy!  But exciting busy!  I’ve been working on creating & designing a couple of website projects that I’m really excited about.  I can definitely say that I now have a blogging addiction.  I have a total of 4 blogs that I now write on, and I’ve also got another project in the works to start writing on a blog for someone else.  Hoping eventually it will turn into a lucrative venture.  We’ll see….

This week, I am promising to start my walking.  Yes…I know…I’ve made this promise before.  I’m also going to start drinking my water like I was doing in the beginning, and I’m going to try to eat small meals every 3 hours.  That really seemed to be working really well for me, so with the walking figured in, that should really “jump start” my metabolism!

Ok…I’ve got a lot to do….I’m out!
