I plan to exercise a bit more today, hopefully that will counteract it. Sigh.

ANyhow, I'm doing a good job of Journaling so far, and also discovered that I should have paid loser attention when looking up target points in the book... I had looked at the pregnant lady stuff first, so ended up usiung about 12 flex points yesterday after realizing how much I goofed up in the mornign and at lunch becuase I thought I had 10 extra points! lol

You can run a search for it there. I ran it through the recipe builder on the WW site (subscribers only) and each serving is 4 points. Wonderful dinner!

If you have any recipes that you want to know the points for, email me (in my profile) and I'll run them through the recipe builder and let you know the point value per serving. Make sure you give me the amount of servings for each recipe.

WW this week: I maintained again this week which is fine considering it is the last week of school and the kids are going crazy and I'm not journalling my points. Next week my search for a summer job begins in earnest. I WILL start my journal again.
