So in the spirit of continuous improvement, I am evolving this blog. I'm not sure what the end product will look like, but I've come to the realization that frankly, my life isn't interesting enough to warrant daily posts - especially midweek. Come on, seriously, nine times out of 10, nothing new really happens on a Tuesday. Now, if something did, well, no worries, I'll write about it here.
So... Tuesday is my Weight Watchers "weigh in" day. Since I weigh myself every day (I know, I know) to get a feel for what normal fluctuation looks like and since I am doing the online program where I weigh myself and enter the information on-line, weigh-in isn't as climatic as it would be if I only weighed myself once a week at a meeting. Nevertheless, I thought it would be a good day to co-opt, and talk about food.
So, I'm going to try writing on Tuesdays about some food item or other that I like that has IMHO a good bang for the buck on the weight watchers point system. I refuse to begin eating fake food to lose weight, so the stuff I write about will, generally, be good for you whether you're watching what you eat or not.
Cheers!
Oh wait! I didn't write anything at all about Stonyfield Farm Organic Lowfat Yogurt. There's a lot of research out there about calcium. The jury's still out on whether it helps on osteoporosis, etc. but, overall, smart people out there seem to agree that it doesn't hurt. But, that's not my motivation. I read an article on WebMD that calcium may alleviate PMS. Now we're talking! Being who I am, I'm not as motivated by the long term gain as I am by the immediate benefit.It (the yogurt) comes in 10 yummy flavors - blueberry, caramel, lemon, maple vanilla, mocha latte, peach, plain, raspberry, strawberry and vanilla. They're all 2 points on Weight Watchers for the 6 oz. container with the exception of caramel (4) and mocha latte (3). So, I eat the "cheap" flavors. They provide 35% of your RDA of calcium. Which, to quote Martha Stewart, is a good thing.
Cheers!

Yes! I've been a Stoneyfield LowFat Plain whore for about a year now. It'll cost you, but nothing better than adding a handful of french vanilla organic granola (Rainbow carries), a tablespoon or so of real maple syrup and some raspberries. Actually best to layer (and cute if entertaining), from bottom: granola, maple syrup, yogurt, berries. Wash, rinse & repeat.
Oh goodness, I should have also said that I really love the new updates to the page. It looks very clean & friendly! Now, if this business shapes up, I know who I'm going to be begging for HTML assistance!!!
Thanks for the compliments! I've got one teeny tiny piece I'm still trying to figure out, but thought it was time for the overhaul to the look.
