Recipe Sharing

Today's WW meeting was a good one: members brought recipes to share with the group that were friendly to the plan.  There were some fantastic ones that I know I will be trying out.  Here are some samples:

• Parmed-Up Broiled Tilapia (http://www.hungry-girl.com/weighin/printable-recipe/333) - 4 WW+ points
• Coconut Cream Pie (http://www.hungry-girl.com/newsletters/raw/1572) - 4 WW+ points per slice
• Chicken w/Apples and Cider (http://www.mealsmatter.org/recipes-meals/recipe/42020) - 9 WW+ points per serving
• Parmesan Turkey Meatloaf (http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=1598573) - 5 WW+ points per serving
• Tex Mex Bean Salad (http://www.weightwatchers.com/food/rcp/RecipePage.aspx?recipeId=131941) - 9 WW+ points per serving
• Grilled Flank Steak with Corn, Bean and Avocado Salad (http://www.weightwatchers.com/food/rcp/RecipePage.aspx?recipeid=133381) - 7 WW+ points per serving
• Chile-Rubbed Chicken with Fresh Pineapple Salsa (http://www.weightwatchers.com/food/rcp/RecipePage.aspx?recipeid=213151) - 5 WW+ points per serving

I don't typically participate in meetings, but today, I shared my Chicken Quesadilla recipe that I posted a couple weeks ago.  I mentioned my blog address and several members wrote it down.  Yay for more accountability!  I'm really getting a lot out of the meetings, even though I'm not one to typically share.  It's comforting to know that people of all shapes, sizes and ages are struggling with the same issues that I am.

I had a 1.2 pound weight loss over the course of the week.  Again, not really ground-breaking numbers to share.  But it's a loss.  I need to be happy that the needle is moving in the right direction.  I just *feel* better - physically, mentally and emotionally.  That, itself, is a success.
