Here we goes again... :)

Camp started, and I stopped paying any attention to what I was eating, or how much I weighed. Then I realized I don't fit into my jeans anymore, and I walked my fat butt back into a Weight Watchers meeting. I weighed 168.2, and the guy who weighed me actually said "WOW, you have gained 11.2 since the last time." I wanted to punch him in the face, but it gave me a lot of motivation for the week that came after. I made lots of stuff and took pictures of most of it, I just hadn't posted them up until now! Here we go.
The first dinner I made was a Mahi Mahi with a sesame orange marinade. It was wonderful!

• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tsp dry sherry
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 Tbsp orange zest
• 2 tsp unpacked brown sugar
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 3 medium garlic clove(s), minced
• 2 tsp ginger root, minced

Mix together ingredients. Place fish in a nonmetallic dish and pour marinade over it. Marinate fish for at least 20 minutes or up to 1 hour. If desired, brush with leftover marinade (boiled for 3 to 5 minutes to destroy bacteria) while cooking.


This came out to be 4 points plus the rice. I also made a little stir fry to go with it! :)

Next my friend Jojo and I have been making lunches for each other for work. It's been great having a low point lunch we can both count on. This time I made a ham and cheese panini. Its was mighty tasty, and I got really excited when I realized I could make it on the george foreman grill!
(per sandwich)
Sourdough bread
1 oz lean ham
2 oz mozarella cheese
2 tomato slices
4 basil leaves
1 tablespoon dijon mustard

Spread mustard on one slice of bread. Then put half of the cheese, followed by all of the ham. Next put a slice of tomato and then the basil leaves. You will finish with the other slice of tomato and cheese, put it on the george foreman for 6 minutes.



This was 5 points and oh so yummy. :)

The last thing for today was tonights dinner. I found it on a website called "That's my house". It has all sorts of WW recipes that are easy to follow. I made BBQ Chicken Packets. This was the boys loves and everyone ate it up quick style. The best part about it was that it is easy to clean up since there are no dishes being used.

Everything is divided into 4

4 sheets heavy duty aluminum foil
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 cups frozen whole kernel corn
1 cup chopped green peppers
20 ounces skinless chicken breasts -- (a little over a pound when all trimmed) 4 (5 oz.) each

Center chicken breast on a sheet of aluminum foil. Put 1/2 cup frozen corn on top of each chicken breast.

Put 1/4 cup chopped peppers on top of corn.

Pour 1/4 cup Barbecue sauce over each one. Bring up the sides of foil and double fold, double fold ends to form a packet, leaving enough room for heat circulation inside packet.

Grill 14 to 16 minutes in covered grill or bake 18 to 22 minutes on a cookie sheet in the oven.

Serving size (1 packet)



This is a nice 5 points since all you have to count is the chicken!

After the first week I went back into the WW meeting and I was down 4.8! Lets see whats going to happen next week................
