Healthy Food? Yummie!!!!

So Alicen has finally become a Kettenring. Yes, its true! She has joined the weight watchers club. Most likely one of the happiest days of my mothers life. And by Alicen joining weight watchers means I did too. If she is going to eat healthier so am I. The alternative would be for me to starve or make my own meals. This is something I am not willing to subject myself too, I am way too busy now. Anyway we are both now on weight watchers, and we are having great success on it as far as I can tell. Cooking on the other hand has been a new adventure. I have never seen Allie cook with out butter or sugar, so this has been an experience. I do have to say in her favor every meal has been good. We made some awesome pizza last night. And to prove it was good and not just two healthy eaters think is good because we have subjected to such eating, but her brother Spencer and his friend Trevor came over and ate the rest of what we had- they thought it was the best pizza ever. So we are on our way to so great tasting, low point and healthy meals. We just have to keep it up, I believe we can and will do good. However with Priesthood session coming up; the after dinner might be a killer (the buffet is calling my name). I am just glad to see Allie excited to do this type of thing and we will both benefit from it by staying on track and reaching the goals we have set. Or at least looking at an idea of what we want.
As for me, I have like the whole weight watchers thing because I have stopped cold turkey on the free candy and soda pop my work offers. Now its just my water bottle and a baggy of veggies I bring from home. I just laugh about this whole thing because my old doctor (christiansen) said the best way to lose weight is weight watchers and Allie did not like that at all. We even switched doctors. Now she is in the club and wanting to change herself. Guess Doc. had the right idea we just did not have the proper time frame yet. I will keep myself posted on this. I really dont think anyone looks at this any way but me.
