Today is Thursday, time to weigh in at weight watchers... I was worried abit today because Saturday I went to Mardigras! I tried to track all my food I ate, which I did a really good job (skipped the buffect with prime rib/sushi/crab and all the other goodies and ate a 1/2 lb burger instead with toppings and fries :( 13 points) But I did drink a few beers and what not. But I did walk around for 6 hours...
So I step on the scale expecting to gain weight.... WOW A LOSS OF 2.2 lbs.
I can not believe it, I did stay within my daily points with the food and beer i drank but just barley. Beer went from 3 pts to 5 pts in the new system so that sucks but oh well what can you do! I am liking the program of WW, learning that you can eat what you want but being realistic with portion control is nice. My goal is to get down to around 200-215 is what my Dr. and I have came up with is a healthy weight. Doc said I could get down smaller but I would have to cut out some free weights and do more cardio and that does not sound fun to me, so I will shoot for that to be my goal!
One of the guidelines in WW is to drink water and plenty of it. Well water is not very tasty and I would rather be drinking a diet coke or something else.... I like water plain and simple if its ice cold but when your at the gym or what not kinda hard to get that. I have fell in love with WalMart water called Clear American Pomegranate Blueberry ACAL... So Good, yes its a flavored sparkling water but man this stuff taste great! Makes if feel like your drinking Stoli Blueberry and Sprite! I have on a few occasions bought my WalMart out of these. Yes I am that guy that will take up 20 bottles of this to the check out!!!! But at 60 cents a bottle its worth it!!!! If they do not have this water Sams Club is my next best friend, they carry the crystal lite packets in strawberry, strawberry lemonade, pomegranate and plain ole lemonade in a variety pack. I go through those packs pretty fast. But I am getting in my water pretty easily now thanks to those 2 methods!!!
MardiGras St. Lou Style
This year there were 24 of us roaming the streets of Soulard!!!! It was fun as always, the three B's were there!!! Beer, Beads, and Boobies.... I will have many memories of these pre baby parties haha. I am sure I may get to come down to this after baby too but you never know... I could tell you stories after stories but what goes on down there stays down there i guess..... Tho we did get one 12 year old kid a good show to see. This lady wanted a set of my beads and i told her she knew how to get them lol. But there was a kid next to me. She said but there is a little kid next to you... He spoke up and said let me see them tittys! I about died laughing!!!!!!!!! So she got the beads and the kid had a nice big smile!!!
Roulet on the Landing:

The easy one is to bet red/black or even/odd I like to do this hell you have a 47% chance of winning but it only pays out what you put down... The real fun is when you are betting on numbers and hit :) thats what happened on saturday night!!!
after I had won 7 turns in a row a guy sat next to me. Asked if I liked even or odd..... I thought eh he gona put down $5 on whatever I say so I said even.... GULP he threw down $2100 on even..... I looked at him and didn't know what to say. So the lady rolls the ball and we stare at the numbers........ 31....
SHIT this guy just lost $2100!!!!!!!! I would be throwing up.... He looks at me and says you win some and lose some he then goes red/black.... This time I said I don't know.... He just said don't worry about it he has plenty... I bet on red he puts down $2300 on red...... spin..... RED...... SHIT we won... I got my mesley $100 and this guy gets an extra $2300... This is the last game I played. I sat around awhile and watched this guy win big money and lose big money...
So this is my new go to game... its fun you should give it a try sometime...
Food choice of the day!
Strawberries with Cream Filling
PointsPlus™ Value: 3
Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 10 min
Cooking Time: 0 min
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
| 1 pound(s) strawberries, jumbo-size (about 18 strawberries) | |
| 4 oz light cream cheese, at room temperature | |
| 1/2 cup(s) powdered sugar | |
| 1/2 tsp vanilla extract | |
Instructions
- Wash and dry strawberries (leave green caps on).
- Using a paring knife, cut a wide v-shape out of the pointed end of each strawberry (like an open mouth); reserve cut out pieces of strawberries. Place cut strawberries on a serving plate, green cap side down so they will be easy to fill.
- Using an electric mixer, thoroughly combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl.
- Chop reserved leftover bits of strawberries into tiny pieces and gently stir into cream cheese mixture with a spoon.
- Fill each cut strawberry with a small amount of cream cheese mixture using a spatula or knife. Arrange filled strawberries on a serving plate, green cap side down. Yields about 3 strawberries per serving.
Notes
- Prepare this recipe the same day you plan to serve it or the strawberries will weep. Refrigerate if not serving immediately.
TOMORROW IS BABY DAY..... IS IT A BOY OR GIRL
