Weight Watchers for a Healthy Start

Why I do Weight Watchers: I LOVE the flexibility of the program. If there's a charcuterie platter, I'm going to try some cheeses, and if it’s my kids birthday and I have a slice of 🍕 and a cupcake - best part is that it's NOT a cheat day - I just work it into my weekly points. 

Just to give you an idea of how a day on WW looks for me with 21 daily points. The program will adjust your points based on your weight and goals, mine is a pretty low value compared to others I've seen.

Breakfast (4pts): coffee, sugar free creamer, egg omelette with 1.5 slices of low fat cheddar
Lunch (4pts): broccoli sauteed in garlic and sesame oil, shrimp, 2 fried gyoza dumplings
Snack (0pts): hard boiled egg, banana (any fruit!)  
Dinner (10pts): basil pesto, rotini pasta, one pan baked salmon and zucchini 
Snack (3pts): cherries, cheddar rice cakes or sugar free pudding cup 

My favorite:
Zero point options: eggs, fish, fruit, veggies
Fast food: Taco Bell has tons of WW friendly options
Snacks: cheddar rice cakes, pipcorn, pirates booty, low fat chips, low fat cheese doodles
Dessert: fruit, sugar free pudding or no sugar added rice pudding, whipped cream

The hardest part of re-committing to Weight Watchers is finding the time to plan, so I'm going to simplify it and reframe it right here. I'm going to commit to:

1) Keeping zero point foods easily accessible
2) Keeping high point foods off my countertop - this has been a huge challenge during the holiday season with three kids!

This will eliminate the need to plan meals as carefully, because I won't be using points for goldfish crackers and Hershey kisses, and I can use them for family dinner like I was doing. Then at the end of the day, I can adjust my points for any snacking after dinner based on how the day went.

Amazon Fire Tablet Kids - Must Have Apps

Image
The Amazon Fire Tablet is my favorite tablet for kids! We have other Android tables, and an iPad/iPhones, but the Fire Tablet knocks them all out of the water. Of course there is also YouTube Kids, Disney+, Nick Jr, and other streaming apps, and we have those too for long flights or car rides. In this post, I'm going to share the educational apps my kids enjoy . Here's my affiliate link to grab your Fire Tablets and accessories from Amazon ( ad:  https://geni.us/W04I0M , or https://amzn.to/48T5qo2  if you don't want to open in the app).  The Amazon Kids Tablet comes with an entire year free subscription to all of the apps, and I'm going to share my favorites (and my kids favorites!) with you! Keep in mind, while Android devices have some of these, many are not the full version unless you pay specifically for the app. The subscription currently has a monthly charge but covers up to 4 children in the family plan . On the Amazon Parent Dashboard , you are able to view whe...

Keep It Simple - Toy Rotation & Organization

Image
The holidays have brought a LOT of extra toys, and with the Christmas tree on it's way out, we have started to think about how we'll organize these toys!  Our current set up is from Target and IKEA. I love the Target Wave Storage Bins* and these storage cubes * are amazing! These cubes are LARGE so they fit a TON of toys. Right now these are our main type of storage with the bins, and they fit a ton of toys. I'm looking more to add rotation toy storage, so that's what I'll be updating with! If you want to see more storage solutions from Target, check them out here . * If you use my links, I'll earn a small commission from your purchase. If you're looking for the bin labels, they work on the fabric bins and plastic bins, and you can find them here on amazon (Affiliate Link). Click here for the template I made for the labels, of course I don't own the rights to any of these images, and I used Google to find them! I have always wanted to rotate toys, bu...
