Tonight’s raffle winner is Laura J! Laura, I’ve e-mailed you for prize selection.
I weighed in at 147.4 Wednesday morning, which caught me off guard. Even after going over my points allowance last week, I was back down to my lowest weight so far since joining Weight Watchers. Sufficed to say, I was pleased!
When I went grocery shopping last weekend at Trader Joe’s I noticed that they had boxes of wine, one red and one white. The red happened to be a shiraz, my favorite! I’ve been thinking about saving money lately, so it made perfect sense to buy the equivalent of four bottles of wine for ten dollars. However, this week I have been drinking more weeknight wine than normal just because it’s sitting there on the counter, so it’s not the best bargain for my points budget. I continue to do battle with red wine…but, if you’re looking for a decent, cheap option, it’s a good one. Here’s a review from someone who knows much more about wine than I do.

This stir fry was one of the better ones I’ve made. I simmered the tempeh then marinated it in a mixture of black bean sauce, tamari, 1/2 tsp agave nectar, rice wine vinegar and sriracha, with water to thin, which was whisked with arrowroot powder to form a sauce at the end of cooking.
Congrats on your lowest weight since joining WW. it is nice when even with imperfect points use :) we see the number drop.
What you have penned in This Week’s Weigh In « The Vegan Weight
Watcher is definitely not just great but actually model of important.
I know most people don’t really reflect on these items. In case you are merely like me and still have dealt with losing weight or dependency or most of the 4 things you truly can thinking about I usually tend to appreciate what I read because it is really inside your grow in knowledge with out actually doing a things. Of this reason I enjoy finding out other peoples points of views and experience.
