January 16, 2007

Well, I didn't get my menu posted for this week yesterday.

Monday: Tacos with salad

Tuesday: Class night

Wednesday: Chicken Parmesan strips, green beans, roasted potatoes

Thursday: Class night

Friday: Homemade pizzas - I did these last week with individual biscuits that I rolled out. Erynn loved it.

Saturday: Spaghetti

Sunday: Autumn Chowder

Hummingbird Cake

I honestly didn't do much this weekend. I actually scrapbooked some this weekend and got about 4 pages done.

I weighed in with WW yesterday and I lost 2 1/2 lbs. How I'm really not sure - I've tried to be good but well it's hard. I haven't started the exercising yet and I talked to our WW leader and she suggested that I just focus on the food for another week or two and then add in the exercise. A lot of it is portion sizes and well the vending machine at work. When I walk by that machine it calls my name. This past weekend I fixed some brownies and I just had little (i mean little squares). With me usually I just want a bite and just eat the rest just because it's in front of me. I thought I'd make the hummingbird cake and then take the rest to work on Monday. That way - I got a little treat but don't over do it.

Hope everyone has a great week!

I'd like to hear about that cake recipe too.

How fun to make pizza out of individual biscuits. I alos like to eat pizza by using english muffins as a base.

Congrats on your continued weight loss journey.

Thank you for visiting me.

I found the hummingbird cake on www.allrecipes.com - here is the link http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Hummingbird-Cake-II/Detail.aspx.
It sounds a lot like a hawaiian banana bread that I make.

I've had a recipe for hummingbird cake for years. It's definitely not diet food but it IS wonderful.

Losing weight safely and permanently is slow going but it's worth it in the end. Don't get discouraged - just stick with it. Weight Watchers works better than any other plan I've heard of so you WILL get there.
