Quick update on my weight loss journey.

Since I started Weight Watchers at the beginning of January I've lost a total of 12.8 lbs, that means I'm down a little over a third of my overall goal. I'm working out a bunch and really challenging myself with my nutrition as well as fitness. I'm very proud that this is something that has become a daily part of my life and am excited to see where it takes me.

Thanks to everyone who's been super supportive including family and most of all Joel. I appreciate and need those compliments and encouragments, so keep them coming!!

Next post I may have a picture of myself if you're lucky :)

Yesterday I hit a wonderful goal in my weight loss voyage. I lost a total of exactly seven pounds in 3 weeks. Now to those who are huge Biggest Loser fans this may not sound like much, but for a smaller person who doesn't have a nutritionist, trainer, and a 24/7 work out facility it's pretty darn good.


It's more than you can count on one hand....well some people at least.



I wanted to share my success with you all as my countdown to health continues and I'll keep you filled in with my progress!

I have been hearing about Vita Muffins on tons of sites including; Weight Watchers, Dottie's Weight Loss Zone, and Hungry Girl and I finally decided to try them. I was doing my regular grocery shopping and saw their muffin mixes on the shelves.

They have some great flavors but their Deep Chocolate just made me drool, so I had to get them.

They were very easy to prepare, I added egg whites and water to the mix and dropped in a few semi-sweet chocolate chips after filling the muffin tin and baked for about 27 minutes and voila! This is what I came up with. Doesn't it look tasty?



Avery seemed to like them!
They definitely taste a tad different because they are made with whole wheat flour, but once you get used to them they are simply delicious and a great healthy alternative. That I would definitely recommend.

If you're craving cake and frosting this is a great alternative, warm the muffin in the microwave for about 25 seconds and add two tablespoons or less of fat-free whipped cream and devour. And the best part is that they are only 1 Weight Watchers point!
