Weight Watchers Wednesday Week 6

This week, I have done well watching what I eat.. minus those 2 red velvet whoopie pies on Monday... (note to self: see if those can me made with lower points) I just haven't done well tracking my points. I get discouraged because the points are different on the computer and on my phone. The point totals on my phone are always higher than the computer. Since I do most of my tracking on my phone, I never know how accurate it is. It is an official Weight Watchers app, so I'm not sure why they are differing so much.

We tried quite a few new things this week. Tate and I made a giant omelette with urban farm fresh eggs. I tried to get mostly just whites but with 1 mini-chef in the kitchen helper and the other mini-chef in the ERGOsport it was a little difficult. We tore up some lunch meat and a piece of deli thin Swiss cheese. We also added chives, rosemary and basil from our herb garden. There was enough for both of us to have breakfast, including 2 helpings for Tate, plus some left for a bagel, turkey and egg breakfast sandwich the next day. I got some thin bagels to try. I wanted some thin whole wheat bagels, but the Dillon's I went to didn't have them. (Those are 1 point and mine are 3.)
Tate and I also made some smoothie popsicles. We used V8 V-Fusion Acai Mixed Berry Juice, some fat free vanilla yogurt and threw in some pineapple, cherries and black grapes for good measure. They are quite tasty!
My sister-in-law works at the library and has found several Weight Watchers cookbooks. None have the new PowerPoints, but they all have the nutritional values listed so we can figure it. They raved about some black bean, spinach quesadillas, so naturally I had to try them... with a Sarah twist, of course! I was saving my spinach for another recipe, so I swapped that for peppers. I also prefer taco sauce to chunky salsa. We made them on Mission Garden Spinach Herb Wraps the first night and the leftovers on Mission 96% fat free whole wheat tortillas. I sauteed the peppers and part of an onion with some cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika and cayenne pepper. It was a definite toddler-approved meal since Tate ate the entire thing! There are some recipes that I want to try and all of the nutritional information is provided making it easy to figure points.

My favorite was probably the roasted veggies: red potatoes, carrots, onion, zucchini, and orange, red and yellow peppers. They were seasoned with sea salt, cracked black pepper, garlic, rosemary and chives. I was eating them straight off the cookie sheet! It made the kitchen so hot since the oven was at 450 degrees for 30 minutes. It is already the hottest room in the house in the evenings (thank goodness I left to teach a swimming lesson and then we had the boys' lesson).
Weight lost: -1.8
I reached my 5% goal!
