Every Friday i will post my weight. I will weigh in either at my weight watchers meeting, or at home. My scale at home is a WW scale so it is usually close. I am on a bit of a plateau right now. To help combat this plateau i am going over some of my recipes and being brutally honest about the points. For example, my chocolate tofu pudding that i eat at least 4 times a week is 5 points instead of 3. Long a go i figured the points based on 6 servings. Yet lately i have been making a batch n deciding it into 4 bigger bowls. I never upped the points for the bigger servings but today i did. Also, as restaurant diet queen i eat A LOT of hummus in restaurants. In fact, i am also known as the hummus queen or at least that is what they should call me! But i was eating homemade hummus and deciving myself by counting it as store bought hummus, which counts as less points on WW. (6 points for 2/3 cup of store bought hummus vs 8 points for homemade). It is my sincere hope with this blog i will get more honest in my food journal and see the benefits at the scale.
Today I had the hummus at Rumors at 5205 Monroe St. Yum! hummus is a healthier and much better tasting choice to dip veggies into that (yawn) ranch dip! Go easy on the pita bread, although not a lot of calories or fat, it is not as filling as the veggies and causes you to overeat on the delicious hummus to boot. Eating hummus and many other Mediterranean foods on a daily basis has been one of the secrets to my success. Just watch your portions and stretch it out with as many veggies as possible. In fact, all day long whenever you eat, ask yourself "what vegetable could i be eating instead on ____?"
