Life in London

Lots of walking in this city even if you use the tube(subway). One new thing I noticed is there are more bike paths and bikers. It takes a lot of guts/ experience to ride on the main streets. There are lots of parks where you can ride. They have bikes you can rent and they are free for the first hour. So lots of Londoners are taking advantage of that and are biking on their lunch breaks or running errands.

I found Weight Watchers

Made it to the open weigh in. I met Kim a leader for 15 years. She gave me the WW stuff for England. They call it Pro Points. It's very exciting as now I have the English food values.
I bought some things to bring home.
They have many of the same products but just look a little different.
One thing they give their members only in England is the point wheel. You will have to wait to see what that is.

Great fun and we have walked Caesar Palace and still don't think we saw it all
Bon A petit.

Great Breakfast or Evening Meal Idea

Nothings better than hot pancakes or waffles on a weekend morning. I like to serve mine with fruit or real maple syrup. I believe in the real stuff and just figure in the points. I'm worth it.
The following recipe has been in my family for almost 40 years. The parents of my son's Montessori school got together a cookbook of healthy options for our kids and we have used this recipe ever since. Its easy to make because you can put all the ingredients into a blender and just pour the batter from there onto your hot griddle or onto a hot waffle iron. Enjoy, hope it becomes a favorite at you house. Recipe make 16 pancakes each are 2 pt. plus value.

Oatmeal Pancakes

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 T baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 egg (or egg beater equivalent)
1 T oil
1 T honey
1 1/2 cups milk (1%)

Why it's so important to put yourself first.......

Those who were at the meeting this past week heard me tell about the Dr. Oz show I saw that made me think about the topic. He had a doc on who studies centagerarians(those people who make it to 100 yrs old +. Basically it comes down to putting yourself first, taking care of number one. Remember to go to Dr. Oz.com and take the 15 question quiz. Here are the quick calculations for finding out if you can be 100+ too.
Start with 89 (female age). Add 5 yrs if you have a positive attitude. Add another 5 if you have family members who have reached 90. You can't add any years if you exercise daily but if you don't then you take 5 away. Next if you do brain challenging activities/ hobbies add 5 yrs.
If you eat nutritously and maintain a healthy weight(okay we are working at it) you don't add years but you take away 5 if you don't maintain a healthy weight. Lastly, if you have smoked 1 "cig" you take away 15 years. If you have quit and its been 15 years you break even.
Now get out there and find time for YOU !!!!!!!!!

How do I figure portions when I eat out?

We talk about this a lot as we all enjoy eating out. This is how I do it.
One of my favorite places to eat is Mi Mexico. I love to order #28. This is a chicken enchilada with a tomatillo sauce. The two enchiladas come with whole pinto bean and Spanish rice. When you search on e tools for enchiladas you will find the meal for 9 pts. I had 1/2 of this meal and when you divide the meal it is 5 pts. This is how I estimated my half to take home.
