Weight Watchers Wednesday: Week 3

This week, I knew I was going to be using my extra allotted points. I tried to be extra diligent in tracking activity, just in case I went over the 49. I didn't even come close to using them all, but I love my father-in-law's steaks and I wanted to be sure I had plenty of wiggle room!

My favorite new recipe of the week was Southwestern Turkey Burgers. I rarely follow a recipe exactly, so of course, I made my own modifications. I found I didn't add enough seasoning, but I was trying to keep them from being too spicy for Tate. They tasted much better with taco sauce and a bit of cheddar cheese! They would also taste better off the grill or smoker. Michael didn't eat them (fine because more leftovers for me!), but Tate liked them.

My biggest splurge of the week was at my Mamaw's and Papaw's house. Papaw is a pie connoisseur. I had a sliver of warm apple pie a la mode with some caramel sauce. I guessed about 8-9 points.

I had a personal triumph in the clothing department. Four years ago, I bought a pair of pants on clearance that I thought would fit. They were my size, but so small, I couldn't even button them. I found them again while I was getting rid of clothes and tried them on just to see. Lo and behold they fit, a little snug, but fit nonetheless!
Despite my splurges this week, I reached the 5 pound milestone and received a gold star!
