Food of the Week
I’ve been trying to incorporate more vegetables into my diet – I don’t know what that continues to be so hard because I actually like them. I ate out at Noodles this week (not the healthiest of choices), but I kept it light with the Asian Thai Curry Soup (yum!!!) and the cucumber and tomato fresh salad. It was really good and I felt good about the choices I made. The meal I had was 16 WW points (regular size soup) or you could order the smaller size soup and salad for 9 WW points. I like that the Weight Watchers Mobile App has restaurants in it so I can literally scroll through and know what I am eating before I order it, eliminating hesitation on what is healthier to order or not. I had a big salad at home that night for dinner with fresh tomatoes from the garden since lunchtime was heavier on points.
Activity of the Week
I took a couple of walks, but I have really struggled getting back into running ever since my 5K. I feel like I did after a marathon. Pretty Muddy Central Ohio is in two days, and I am not at all sure how I feel about that. A little worried for sure!

Reflections
I need to get better at writing down my points again because I have not been doing that. Most days, I need to make a conscious effort to track my points.
Reader’s Recap
Find out about Hive and Honey: What you Don’t and Should Know. I enjoy learning about alternative treatments and remedies. I didn’t know about all the things honey, pollen and propolis (okay, I didn’t even know what it was) could do until I learned about it from these products. Blog School starts next week, and I can’t wait!
Photo Recap
What’s the next best birthday present besides actually seeing Mumford & Sons live? Listening to them live any time I want on their Red Rocks Live Album (the original Gentleman of the Road Tour, which they are on again now).

Nice job with the loss this week!
I have a hard time eating healthy while eating out, but luckily we never have a ton of “fun money” to eat out anyway. LOL
I might order just an appetizer as a meal to get a smaller portion, or split a meal with someone.
Thanks, Courtney! We try not to eat out a lot to save money. It can get so expensive. Have a great week!
Congrats on the loss – a loss is a loss! 🙂 On the tracking of points, you can always take a pic of the food too & write down later if short of time….
I don’t eat out much.. no money but in general, even when we had it, I just like to eat what I want to eat so most times I would eat before or after & maybe have veggies or something small with the others. I really don’t care anymore about having to eat just because others are – sounds harsh but it works for me! 🙂
That’s a great idea about taking a pic of what I eat, Jody! I think it even has that option in WW – maybe like a mobile journal or something? I’m going to check it out. Thank you as always for sharing your experiences and words of advice – I listen and learn 🙂
