Asian Lettuce Wraps - fantastic

I made the Asian lettuce wrap recipe twice so far. Saturday I made this recipe with ground turkey and used weight watchers wraps. very yummy.

Tonight I made it using ground chicken and used boston lettuce for wraps instead. Even better. My new favorite recipe.

I could eat this 7 nights a week. Great dinner with a large salad with a low calorie dressing.

Partying does not bode well for diets!

Attended a wedding yesterday for some very dear friends. Of course the reception was great and fun was had by all. Too much you might say..........
I certainly enjoyed myself and partook in absolutely everything that was offered- to that end I have now found a new favourite appetizer - Walnut & Brie bundles - yummy : ))
But, alas they are not diet condusive to say the least - enough to make me cry.
Dinner was fabulous and let's just say the wine flowed in torrents through the nite.
Very thirsty today don't know why???

Let's just say I took the day off from dieting, but I have booked a new ticket on the diet bus that arrives in the morning. I have maintained a 1 LB loss this week - not spectacular but still going in the right direction. Also, going to start Wii fitness program tomorrow - really need to add in exercise.

Note: in reveiwing pictures from last nite, I have determined that I need to reduce my size - including all of the extra chins that showed up in each picture - it is astounding to see-you never really think you are THAT big or have gained THAT much weight.
As they say "the proof is in the picture"
Yikes - wake up call!

Resisting the wrong decisions

I skipped breakfast - Bad me
Had an okay lunch of an Apple and veggies - Good me

Then I came home and this is where I usually face my downfall. I come in the door hungry and start snacking until dinner. Sometimes I'm not even hungry. Today was different; I came home and had a mini cucumber. It’s a great snack, its crunchy, quick to grab, no heating or prep in any way. Good me

I then passed up spaghetti, McDonalds, and chicken nuggets. Instead I had a Weight Watchers Dinner and followed it up with a WW dessert. Super good me.

I'm very proud of myself for not taking the easy way out and making the wrong decision.

Doing good - inspiration works wonders!

Knowing that we are going in June has really worked well for me. I think seriously about everything I'm going to eat and drink. My jeans feel good - less tight and more comfortable.
I really wanted to start exercising but after recently tearing my calf muscle and completing my physio, the therapist told me to wait 3 weeks or so. I'm stretching everyday and trying to get in some walks.......need more.
Just ate an apple - dont get enough fruits and veggies so I'm trying......

Things that rock

Baby Carrots

Breakfast Burrito's to take on the train

Mini Cukes for a crunchy after work snack

Fuji apples to have with lunch

Everyone is Jealous that we are going to Fat Camp

I have told a couple of friends about going to Fitness Ridge and they are JEALOUS. I do have some questions about the length of the hike. I have read on various blogs that the "Stop Sign" hike that is the first hike you go on is 4.5 miles. Wow, that seems like a lot but then it seems like it’s not so bad. For Canadians that’s 7.30 km. I have use Mapmyrun.com to figure out a good route that is equal to what this first hike will be. This doesn’t seem so bad. I'm not a winter person so I won't be starting this anytime soon. Come the spring I'm going to be excited to give this a try to see how tuff it’s going to be.
