Weight Watchers

I joined my bff Danny at a Weight Watchers meeting this morning. Well, not so much joined as much as “badgered him into going in the mornings.” Going after work just  makes me feel bloated and I worry about how the things I ate earlier in the day will affect the numbers on the scale.

So, we went in the A.M. to great success: I’m down 3lbs post-Holidays and am now 137.0, which is a really nice number to see. Only 12 to go for where I would ideally like to be! Though maybe just 10 will be fine, too.

After WW, I headed straight to work and just had to get myself a Greek yogurt. Danny was eating some during the meeting and I got a serious craving.

But  not wanting to just have it on it’s own (and not finding any berries, which are my usual yogurt companion), I decided to get some red grapefruit.

Grapefruit is one of the few things that I could probably eat every day, along with tomatoes. But since it tends to get expensive and I’m sure that would be way too much acid, I only keep it to special occasions. I probably hadn’t had it in months at this point and it was really nice to get some today.

The day breezed by pretty quickly, until it was time to meet my friend Dolores for lunch. I brought mine and it was just as comforting and delicious as when I made it last week. The slow cooker pink lentil & bean soup was just the perfect lunch on this extremely gross and rainy day in New York.

After lunch, I actually got quite peckish.

I ended up going downstairs to a little cafe and buying one of my all-time favorite snacks, Stacy’s Naked Pita Chips. They were absolutely delicious… and a good way to tide me over until dinner.

After work, my friend Haena and I met up to head to my place together. We have decided to start doing weekly cooking dates and this was our very first one. The only downside is that, by the time we got home, did all of the prep work and the cooking, it was almost 10 p.m. by the time we ate.

I usually hate eating that late, but our meal was so delicious that I didn’t mind. Plus, we had a Skinny Girl margarita while cooking, which definitely tied me over.

And doesn’t the food look great? We made a healthier version of my dad’s fried shark and some fluffy quinoa with mustard greens (sort of a combination of my warm lemony mustard greens salad and mushroom & pearl onion quinoa recipes). I can’t wait to share the recipes! In the  meantime… Here are my totals:
WW Points: 37 (snacking added up a bit)
Exercise: none, unfortunately
