Focusing on Happy Healthy Living
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Weight Watchers® Ice Cream. All opinions are 100% mine. Since January, I've been working on a real lifestyle change. I haven't blogged much about it. Maybe I am nervous about jinxing it. But, I've been sticking with my commitment to the local gym 3-5 days per week and paying attention to my food intake. It is paying off in many ways. The best way of all - I feel better. This year I haven't been cutting out foods, just paying attention to … [Read more...]
Rewarding Myself For a Job Well Done
I have been doing great on this healthy journey. Not perfect, but honestly great. The past couple weeks have been a journey of self-reflection on why I am overeating (stress mainly and to feel joy secondary) but it has also been a re-start on habits that I had previously done. Good habits. I love Weight Watchers. I have blogged about my journey with Weight Watchers many times. I love it because it is simple and I get to eat the foods I like. But more than that, it teaches me to eat exactly … [Read more...]
sweetriot: 100 Calorie Chocolates? Yes, please!
This post is brought to you by sweetriot. I keep going on and off Weight Watchers. It is hard to stick to it when we are traveling so much. Plus, I like my sweets. (Hey, I have a sweet tooth!

I am dancing right now about sweetriot: Do you love chocolate? Obviously, since I have a sweet tooth, I am a huge fan of chocolate. But have you heard about … [Read more...]
Easy Summertime Dessert
Thank you Easy Home Meals for sponsoring today's post. Do you have a favorite summertime dessert? The last two summers my go to dessert has been a simple bowl of strawberries, blueberries with a a packet of Stevia and whipped topping. Since I have been on Weight Watchers, this simple summertime dessert has been perfect. When I use just a dollop (1 TB or so) of lite or fat free whipped topping {the kind in the refrigerator case in a can} this dessert is 0 points plus! Now that is the kind of … [Read more...]
Tex Mex Brown Rice Salad
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Success® Rice. This week we enjoyed sunshine in Western Washington. I mean real, summertime, warm sunshine! It was great. So when you hit 75 degrees at my home, no one wants a heavy meal or hot food. A Tex-Mex Brown Rice Salad is a perfect summer evening meal. In fact, my 5 year old even loved it and my husband wants it again next week. Since I am on Weight Watchers, I am always on the look out for low points plus recipes ideas that … [Read more...]
10 Vegetarian Weight Watchers Recipes
Since we have been traveling the last two months, I have taken a break from Weight Watchers. And guess what? I have gained weight. Not a lot but enough that my jeans are getting snug. So this month, not only have I joined a fitness challenge but I am also going back on Weight Watchers. Really, Weight Watchers is not a diet, it is a lifestyle. As long as I stick to it, I will stay at a healthy weight. (Did you know my sister has lost 40 lbs and kept it off since June? She is … [Read more...]
