Eating Out IS Possible, and even Easy!

Eating Out 
(Suggestions, and Examples)

Since joining Weight Watchers, I have found that there are many more options for eating out, and technology has made my choices easier to find in advance of entering the restaurant! I'll use a harder example? Take Salsaritas, for instance. Even though it doesn’t show up in my “Restaurants” list on my WW App, it is virtually the same as Chipotle, or Moe’s Kitchen. So, I use similar items from their list, and the associated points. 

For instance, this meal is comprised of Pinto Beans (no rice), so, I get extra beans (0 points), veggies, grilled chicken (3 points), corn  picante, pineapple picante, onions, lettuce, tomato, and black olives (1 point). Total points? 4 (Four!) I can add 2 tablespoons of guacamole, and bring it to 6 points. Chicken is three points, black olives are one point. Everything else is Zero points! It is very good, and very filling, for even a big guy like me!

An Uphill Climb, for a Downward Weight Change?

Stress is Not My Friend WARNING! PROFANITY laden at times. That’s reality for me. So, I’m just “keepin’ it real!” If that is offensive, just skip to the last 9 paragraphs, where it says, “Ok. Ok. Reel it in now! What happened?” I’ll make sure it summarizes without the reiteration of the “purple words”. And please overlook my lack of proof reading. “Ain’t nobody got time fo dat!” A new descriptor that I’ve found to help point out things that we have to endure, struggle through, overcome, or do in spite of what we would like to do is “adulting”. As I have heard that new word used, I have also discovered that it is only assigned when it is pointing out the negative things that we experience as adults. Wiping a baby’s nasty ass; cleaning up the dog’s poop off the floor; cooking dinner when you get home from a long day of work for kids who will just turn up their noses, and ask for a grilled cheese; paying bills; paying taxes; getting a colonoscopy; getting older, and...

Back in the Saddle!

Back in the Saddle Wow. I’ve really fallen off the wagon following my last surgery. It seemed as though many things took a back seat when dealing with my eyes. While I am still being treated, and recovering in that long process, I am much better. The biggest issue is severely dry eyes, which make doing some of the things I love the most, very difficult. One of those things is writing, and another is photography. I am hopeful my eye condition will continue to improve, but it is a sobering reminder of just how much our eyesight can be taken for granted.   All of that said, I am happy, and proud to report that my progress on WW (Formerly Weight Watchers) has continued during my absence from my blog! I am down to 266.4 lbs., which is 33.6 lbs. down from my peak weight, and 29.5 lbs. down since I started WW. So, I am loving the progress, even in the slow times.   As I mentioned before, trauma, even in the form of surgery, can affect our body’s response to ...

Every Wall That Falls...

When I started Weight Watchers, nearly three weeks ago. I had no idea what it was about, or what it involved me doing. I just knew a few things that my wife had mentioned, because she was considering joining. So, any changes, or revisions were only on the periphery of my attention, and with an attention span as long as a hair on a gnat's ass, that isn't much. As I said before, my decision to join was very much spur of the moment. I really had no time to develop any expectations, or impressions of the program, or how it operates. I remember waaaaay back when, they had cards people carried around in an envelope, or something? I don't know. So, I literally had no idea what sort of changes lie ahead. No matter my understanding of the ocean of weight loss plans, books, videos, self-help seminars, clubs, challenges, and TV shows, I had made my own observations over the last 50 years. The key observation is that staying in shape in my 30's was work. I stayed active. I ra...
