I weigh in on Monday mornings, this helps me be better behaved over the weekend, cause if I lax off over the weekend I won't get to record the full weight loss that I have earned during the week.
This morning my weigh in was 93.6, which is down .9 over last week. An excellent week, very happy with that. The goal is not to follow a good week with a bad one. :) This week I did very well on drinking my water, but I did badly on actually tracking. Over here very few packages have a full nutritional panel, some don't even have a contents list. So I've been left guessing a few times, and I guess it feels unmotivating to accurately enter my guesses! But my estimates must have been in the ball park because the weigh in numbers so I did alright. Anyway, that is never going to be my excuse for quitting!
My saviour this week has been fresh raspberries! They are in season right now, and there are little old babushkas selling them at nearly every bus stop. They are only half a point per cup and are absolutely delicious! I have also found a low fat (1.8%) crumbly cream cheese or ricotta like cheese that I mixed with a little sugar and put on top of the raspberries for a nice dessert. Excellent! I also tried this product salted on our tacos - also excellent. I think I have found a low fat cheese substitute!
My sister in law in Canada has also joined WW recently, and we are continuing this journey together :)
Great loss Melodochka, well done to you. Those raspberries sound beautiful, I don't mind the frozen ones blended with some low fat yoghurt - sort of makes an ice cream, but your fresh ones sound so much better. I am interested in this cheese thing you found, do you know what it is called? It's nice that you and your sister-in-law are doing the journey together, a bit of extra motivation for you as well.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
In Russian its called tvorok. (did you know I'm over in Russia?) I know you can get in at the Russian delis in Balaclava in Melbourne, but I'd be pretty sure those would be the full fat variety. Dairy products are one of the things that are always listed with their fat content, but for the opposite reason - higher fat contents are considered a sign of quality.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the raspberries! I could never bring myself to pay the expensive prices for fresh raspberries in Australia because I kept thinking about how cheap they are here :)
