Over Memorial Day weekend we were in Northern Wisconsin with my in-laws. The weather was alright (a little cold and very windy) but otherwise it was a great weekend. The best part, in my opinion, was learning about some WW friendly foods from my mother-in-law. We learned that Sara Lee makes some hotdog buns that are only 2 PointsPlus value each, which isn't bad considering the other PointsPlus values of buns. She also made a desert out of 1/2 of a cup of 1 PointsPlus strawberry yogurt, a bunch of fresh strawberries and fresh blueberries. Holy YUM! I've discovered that blueberries are definitely a new favorite food. The other, and quite possibly the best, tip was about Peanut Butter.
She told me about a product called Better'n Peanut Butter which is only 2 PointsPlus per 2 T. serving. Seriously, compared to 7+ PointsPlus values of other varieties I think we can all agree that this is ground breaking. She said she found this in the peanut butter aisle, but when I went to the market I found it in the organic food aisle. It is more costly than regular peanut butter and you have to refrigerate it after opening but in my opinion, if you like/crave peanut butter it is totally worth it. We've almost gone through an entire jar in a week!
Last week I did my weigh-in on Thursday so when I went to weigh in this week I was a little nervous. I had, again, forgotten to look at my weight tracker before I got on the scale so when I saw the number I was thought, uh oh. My leader said you lost 1.2 pounds. Seriously? Awesome. I'll take that!
