Losing Weight and Eating Food

Well, I LOVE to eat...so one of the things I have sworn to do as I lose weight is eat well! I purchased two new cookbooks last week at WW...one is NOW AND LATER where you cook one meal and then on the opposite page is what you can do with the leftovers...different meal with similar ingredients. LOVED the first recipe we tried...BBQ Turkey (although no stores had turkey, so we used Chicken breast instead) and then the following night we had gumbo! It was great! The other cookbook is called HIT THE SPOT with pretty flavorful dishes...we made the Pork and Tomato Carnitas...SOOOOOOO yummy! I swear there are times that I can't believe that I am on WW. I will also plug the Weight Watchers cookbook Momentum...TONS of great recipes...even my husband likes them! There is nothing worse than thinking for the rest of your life you will be eating yogurt for breakfast, a salad for lunch and some sort of chicken breast and veggies for dinner. I am so happy that both my husband and I love to cook and love to try and make things that are both healthy AND nutritious! If you feel like you are in a rut with your diet...and really you need to look at it as a lifestyle change...get a new cookbook...ask a friend if they have a cookbook you can swap...and try something new for dinner!
