Introducing: What I Ate Wednesday!

A few days ago I mentioned on my Facebook page that I was thinking of posting my weekly tracker and wondered if anyone was interested. Well, nobody said they wouldn’t be and I got an overwhelming response to do it. I decided that it would be fun to make it a weekly feature! So, today I am introducing What I Ate Wednesday!

I’m going to try to explain all my meals the best I can. One thing to remember is I am doing the Simply Filling plan with Weight Watchers. I focus on Filling Foods and do not count PointsPlus unless the food I am eating is not Simply Filling. This means that my meals will NOT be including PointsPlus values. You can read more about my experience with Simply Filling HERE. I will also try my best to include links to recipes if they are available. Sometimes I just create things out of nowhere and hope they turn out. :) Also, my weeks are Thursday-Wednesday. And on Wednesday I only track breakfast and lunch because I usually have a ‘junk meal’ for dinner.

Now without further wait, here is my first What I Ate Wednesday!

Well there you have it! My food journal from the last week! This coming week will be a challenging one! We have 2 Christmas celebrations this weekend! One is with my parents, so I’m gonna to make sure my mom cooks something Weight Watchers friendly! As for my big family celebration, I’m going to be sure to bring along something WW friendly and not snack away my WPPAs!!

So, is What I Ate Wednesday something you’d like to see continue?
Have any good food finds to share?

    I always like to see what other people are eating because it gives me ideas on things I could be incorporating into my own meal plans. It’s like shopping without the crowds!

    I love it! Seeing someone else’s food journal always gives me ideas for my own meals throughout the week since I plan everything ahead of time. You should put photos of some of your favorites as well!

    I love it – I love it because it’s “real” food, which is what the simply filling plan is all about – staying away from processed foods.

    You might like my skinny bang bang shrimp recipe – I serve it with sauteed veggies and rice – so good, you just reminded me that I need to make it again soon!
