I am so proud of my Hannah. She came home vacation, having eaten her way through wonderful food – Chinese buffets and good ole North Carolina Pork BBQ.
She decided to give Weight Watchers a try, since that is how I initially lost my 75 pounds (my highest weight was 210 – not pretty on someone who’s only 5 feet 2 inches tall!).
Weight Watchers is perfect for Hannah because she likes order – and counting points is right up her alley. In fact, every time I read a post from Kath, I imagine that is what my daughter will be like in her 20’s – with everything color coded too! 😀
Hannah is just coming up to finishing her first month on WW and she’s lost 13 pounds! She works out every day – and in fact – last night she ran for 35 minutes straight on the treadmill at 5.7 mph! I am just so proud of her discipline, and in fact, a bit jealous of her zeal of commitment.
I am a what I like to say a “waffle.” I waffle from being hard core, to eating nachos at 10:00 p.m. at night (um, I may have done that last night!)
So I am drawing inspiration from Hannah – you are doing so great Han – proud of you! I’d love it if you left her a kudos comment! I think she’d get a kick out of that.
So onto lunch! It was a cup of my Azteca soup, no cheese this time, just plenty of cilantro and lime added. My quesadilla was 2 corn tortillas, 1 ounce of cooked beef, 1 ounce black beans, 1/2 ounce cheddar cheese and 1/4 of an avocado, then “Pam” fried until crispy. And veggies with FF ranch on the side:
These are the carrots from my CSA. I inadvertently left them on the counter and by the next day, they had the texture of fingers – kinda gross! I kept trying to touch Hannah with them! But Tony said if I put them in water and refrigerated them, they would come around, and they did – probably some of the best carrots I’ve ever had!
Lunch comes in at 480 calories, 19.2 fat, 20 protein, 59 carbs, 14.4 fiber! 😀
My friend and I did Level 1 of Jillian at lunch, and then I did 10 minutes of jogging at 4.0 mph, then 5 minute cool down. I’ve decided Jillian has to be part of my daily routine, so I plan on getting more stickers for my calendar!
Alright, afternoon break is up – come back tonight for Buffalo Wings and a Zucchini Quinoa side dish! 😀
Great job, Hannah!
Congratulations, Hannah!
I WISH I had Hannah’s dedication when I was a teen. That would have saved me a decade of feeling bad about myself, being a couch potato and poor eating habits.
Way to go, Hannah. I hope you peers are learning equally healthy habits from you!
Woo Hoo Hannah!
Kudos, Hannah! I’m 24 now and I WISH I could go back to my teenage self and get in the habit of exercising for both health and weight loss. It’s a great habit to get into – go girl!
This morning my husband said normally when he smells coffee he thinks about eggs and other breakfast foods. He said only with me does he associate Tabasco with the morning. 🙂
Rock on Hannah!!! I am soooo with her on neatness, order and organizing our momma’s things 😀 I can barely run a mile that is so awesome she ran for that long!
Way to go, Hannah!!! Weight Watchers is such a sensible program. And I’m impressed by your speed on the treadmill…I typically plod along at 4.5.
Your lunch looked yummy, Biz, and way to go on the workout! I finally got around to level 3, and let’s just say I’m glad I have a decent workout bra! 🙂
Excellent job, Hannah! 13 pounds is amazing!
Kick butt Hannah! That is very exciting.
Don’t you just love Jillian? I think she is truly amazing!
Yes- the thinner chips were crunchy! I like mine a little thicker, somewhere between crunchy and mushy 😉 Josh is a crunchy fan!
Hannah, I am so happy for you. Good work!

Congrats to Hannah! I always cut and peel carrots right after I get them from the store for quick snacks. I keep them in water in the fridge too because once they got so dry and nasty!
Hannah way to go 🙂 You’ve really made a commitment to your health!! And you’re doing great.
wow, way to go Hannah! I remember the first time I ran over half an hour on the treadmill, I felt so accomplished 🙂 She’s doing great!!!
Wow, 13 pounds is great! That’s like 2 pants sizes! Way to go Hannah, I wouldn’t be able to stay that organized and committed!
hahahaha I was sitting here laughing out loud like a fool over the carrot fingers story.
yah hannah! 🙂
Big congrats to Hannah!!
Congratulations to Hannah – that is a wonderful weight loss for a month!!! Good on ya for sticking to the program AND exercising – I admire your discipline!
(Biz, I think we all could take our inspiration from your girl!)
Way to Go Hannah!
13 lbs is great, keep up the hardwork!
