Dining Out- Mi Mexico

Here is a selection straight off the healthy eating section at my favorite Mexican Restaurant. Did I say healthy and Mexican in the same sentence?????




This is veggie enchilada. This corn tortilla is filled with vegetable, beans and rice with a carrot purée on top. Really good


This Is what the menu looks like. I also love the black bean soup. Yes you can eat out, enjoy and still be on program.

Food find

They are called "thin buns". Made by Earth Grains. Another version of the fabulous 1 pt. Sandwich Thins we have grown to love



These are the healthy specs on them


There is also 4 grams of fiber. I found them at Freddy's. Personally thought they were tastier than the Orowheat ones.

Walk It Challenge Tips

Thanks to Traci B. who found a great resource for all of us who want to know how far we are walking/ running to prepare for the Challenge. Check out http://www.mapmywalk.com/
Many of us walk different trail, neighborhoods where it would be difficult or impossible to figure mileage.
It has been suggested that we have the Bellingham Walk It Challenge on the Saturday June 5th instead of the 6th. My Fairhaven Group thought a 5K in the area would be a great location with plenty of views and places to have lunch after the walk. I was thinking it would be great fun to bring our lunches and meet in Marine Park. Let me know what you think about this.

See Who You Are Becoming

Weight loss is a journey
A trip with ups and downs
If you monitor your habits
You'll lose those excess pounds

First you have to track it
Write down everything you eat
Get outside and walk it
Set a goal then move your feet

Monitor your feelings
keep bites, licks in check
Hunger's in your tummy
craving start above your neck

None of us is perfect
Stay strong when you plateau
See who you are becoming
Your confidence will grow

Take charge of all your habits
Don't let setbacks rule your day
Celebrate successes
Those pounds will melt away

**This is the poem you requested I post from this week's meeting** See you soon

Food Find

I was thrilled to find something new from "Skinny Cow" this week at Fred Meyers. Individual servings of ice cream in yummy flavors.




Look for them, five different flavors, 2/3 pts depending on the flavor.

Walk- It Challenge

I am looking for a member or two from each of my meetings to head a 5 k walk for their meeting. Some of the training could be done together as a group which would really solidify our meeting group and the buddy system. I can make the center available if you would like to meet prior to the start of our meeting time to walk. So I'm putting out a"shout out" to someone for Mon, Tues, 5:00 PM time.



This could be more fun than hula hooping at the center.

Buddy up

Week 13

Love this topic!!!!!!!

Weight Watchers is the ultimate buddy system. In fact Jean Nieditch created the business based on the buddy system she created with her small group of friends in her kitchen.
Ask yourself, where can I find a buddy, why should I have a buddy, what makes a good buddy and how can I be a good buddy to someone ?????????


These feet were in the warm sands of Santa Monica beach as I enjoyed the day with my buddy( my daughter).
