A Reflexation

Still no calories on my WW app.

Shapa scale had me in light gray this morning.  That means I'm doing bad.  And, quite frankly, I am.  Ever since my birthday, I've been off track,

Time to get back on track.  And I really mean that I need too!

Continuing On.....

 I'm sure I'll have a weight gain when I get on the scale in the morning; my birthday threw me off course; but I'm ready to get back on track.

I'll start tracking with the WW app tomorrow rather than the Healthi app; it's the only change that I'm making to my commitments.  Not a big one but one none-the-less.  It's too hard to try to track on both apps.

I'm trying to come up with some dinner ideas other than the regular ones.  I'm thinking eggs or cereal for breakfast this week; sandwiches for lunch. Dinner is where I'm having issues.  I do like to have leftovers for lunch though.

WEIGHT WATCHERS CHANGES

 We're starting to get some information on the changes coming from Weight Watchers....

The changes should happen on Tuesday, December 10th.  WW has never been good at roll-outs, so if you don't have it first thing in the morning....just keep checking.

Macros will be available for those that want to use it (just ignore it if you don't).  WW, as I've said before, will not be providing you with your macro totals.  Check with your doctor or an online source for that.

See a recipe online but hate inputting all the ingredients into the WW recipe builder?  You'll be able to import those recipes.  I've no idea how this will work.

Take a photo of your meal and the app will figure out the points!  This will be great for those that eat out!  Remember...this won't be point perfect, it would be impossible for it to be.

Option to have a one-on-one with a dietician.  There will be a cost for this that your insurance may or may not cover.

I got all the above from a virtual meeting...I didn't stay the whole thing because I lost interest. That's just me and virtual meetings.

Dish With Dee has a great video up over on YouTube.  According to her (and this is a big one):  Dark meat Chicken & Turkey (no skin) are included on the new zero list!  As well as lean beefs, pork, potatoes and oatmeal!

Apparently there are some screenshots of the new zero foods over on Connect.  I rarely use connect and was unable to find them; but the screenshots I saw elsewhere just say chicken & turkey...it no longer indicates "breast".  I'm very excited about this!  Chicken legs (drumsticks) here I come!  And OATMEAL!  A go to in the cold months.

NOW THAT'S A PLAN I CAN WORK WITH!

And the best part?  You'll still have the same amount of Daily Points!  They won't lower in order to accomodate the updated zero list.

If you were hoping for whole wheat pastas and such -  you'll be disappointed.  They haven't been added to the list; but with no loss in points you can still enjoy them!

The Big 6 - 0

 So I turned 60 in January and it was pretty uneventful.  My one co-worker took me to lunch and then CC took me to dinner and movie with popcorn!  We always do that for each other on our birthdays - dinner and a movie.

CC and I had been talking about doing small trips on occasion; and since this was a big birthday for me...she gifted me a weekend trip!  We're going to Evans City, PA!!  LOL!  That may not mean anything to many of you; but it's where the movie Night of the Living Dead was filmed and we've always talked about driving up to see the cemetery, museum and the mall where Dawn of the Dead was filmed.  We'll also be close to Pittsburgh plus roadside attractions along the way.  We're heading there the weekend of June 7th and just discovered there will be a "Living Dead" convention at the mall!!  We are so excited and got tickets for that.  No HUGE celebrities but it will be fun anyway.

On the Weight Watchers front....  as I mentioned, I rejoined and have been going to meetings.  Hubby told me just to skip coming home from work and just go straight there.  He'll handle all the pets at home.  It'll put me there early, but there's plenty of shopping all around!

Another thing....I bought this:

It's a walking pad; basically a treadmill without the holding bars.  Now I have no weather excuse for walking!  In case you're interested:  Deer Run Treadmill.
