Hello ladies! Hope everyone's good, if not remember the weekend is tomorrow!!
My mom and I were talking on the phone yesterday and she was talking about this book she had read while she's away on a business trip and she said the girl had found a list she made that had things she wants to do before she turns 30, well she was 29 and had a year to complete it all and the book just followed her while she got the list done.
Well, this prompted me to make "the list." Things I want to have done by the time I'm 30. I've been thinking about it and it's not easy as I thought. And I have til my 21st birthday to have 30 things on the list BUT I still have 9 years to COMPLETE them,lol.
My List:
Be in a career I love
Be making atleast 75k. With hard work I can get it!
Vacation in Cabos San Lucus
Take a cruise to Brazil
Party in Vegas
Get a passport
Be married or atleast in a very committed relationship
Treat my mom & grandmother to something very nice and special
Do a charity marathon run
Be in the maintaining stage of weightloss journey
Be investing my money
Own a luxury car
Go to a spa
13 down 18 to go.
On weight news: Today was another on point day. I just have to get in another 8oz of water before milk product and fruit. So I will have a glass of water, pudding and an apple before bed. For dinner I had the leftovers of yesterday's dinner and it was yummy but I hated not knowing the exact points of it. I only ate 1/2 of the 3/4's that was left. I just gestimated it was 10 points (the rest I had for the day) and ate it. I will have my snack using some of the 33 extra points I have for the week.
****EDIT****
I looked on the gym calendar and they open for regular hours Sunday!!! I'm so excited about that. I will be running on the track, OUTSIDE tomorrow *gasp* then I will be on back in the gym Sun. So I will have 4 work out days before my weigh in Tuesday evening. Woo! I'm pumped.
****END EDIT****
Tomorrow I have to go to the grocery store and pick up bananas, apples, oranges and pears for fruit. This 5 fruits and veggies a day is ALOT and it's costly. Can someone tell me if it's 5 fruits AND 5 veggies a day or just 5 or either. I also got to get some frozen veggies to try in the ziploc steamer bags. I can't eat them plain does anyone have any ideas for light dressing or sauce I can put over the veggies?
I haven't bought ONE clothing item since being on Christmas vacation. I don't plan to until Iget to my 10% weight loss goal, which is 21 pounds. So yea, I better lose it fast cause I love to shop! But not for fat clothes so I'll just wait til I can do it and enjoy it.
Ok, I'm actually tired. I'm gonna lay out on my couch. Thank God I can sleep in tomorrow!

Topping for Veggies
couple of ideas
balsamic vinegar, buy the good stuff, 12 plus years it is delicious a light drizzle is all you need
mustard vinagerette - blood orange vinegar, little bit of extra virgin olive oil, juice from one orange, mustard, a little pepper to taste
montreal grill seasonings
black bean sauce - this can be salty so you may want to cut it with a little bit of water, it is also thick
hoisin sauce
anchovies mashed up with red pepper chili and garlic sauce
If you are making $75K by the time you're 21, I'll come there and be your committed relationship. Are same sex marriages legal in Texas?
I love butter (or margarine) on my veggies. That's not really a good thing for losing weight. BUT! Right next to the margarine in the grocery store is some spray butter. NO CALORIES! What?! Okay.... So, I like to put that on my veggies with some Garlic and Wine Seasoning from the Melting Pot. Do you have one of those restaurants near you? The bottle is only about $5.00 and will last you forever. Or you can go eat there and stash it in your purse. LOL! That's way more expensive, though.
Anyway, it sounds like you have some concrete goals. Go for it, girl!
I'm so proud of you for staying on plon so far. Keep it up!
As for toppings, I love butter so I also use the Spray butter, I can't believe it's not butter almost taste similar to the real thing. You can also try CompleteSeasoning, it does wonders for seasoning. It has some many different seasonings in one. Well good luck and have a good one.
I can't believe its not butter is awesome. you have to look around in the grocery store and do a taste test. because alot of products are becoming more diet friendly and have light and diet versions of their products. I love your goals, I can not believe you are not 21 yet. What a baby (LOL) I'm just jealous...You are so focused right now WW will do that for you. Right now you are trying to learn the process but just wait once you start doing it for a while you will be able to count points with your eyes closed. The 35 extra WW points are life lines... use them sparingly. I like to use them closer to the weekend or I will use 10-15 of them during the week and have 20 extra one's for the weekend. You know exercise generates points as well. I don't use my exercise for points because its like you are exercising to eat more. You feel me........Anywho have a great time exercising tomorrow. Hopefully I will be done with all of my evaluations by Monday and will be able to talk to you more.
