Week 2 & 3 - New Obsession

Okay so I have a new obsession. I just realized that the only way that I will willingly eat breakfast during the week is if I use the slow cooker. I made an awesome oatmeal and acutally ENJOYED it this morning.

So here is the recipe I used for that oatmeal.  Next I will make a hasbrown and egg cassarole. I'm so excited.

Apple Oatmeal

6 cups water
2 cups Steel-Cut Oats (don't use regular oats they won't hold up to the cooking time)
3 apples, diced
1/2 c honey
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg ( I left this one out because my mom hates nutmeg but I think it would taste great)

Mix all the ingredients in the slow cooker (preferably a large one).  Set on low for at least 6-7 hours.

This tastes like an apple pie. I added 1 tbsp brown sugar to the top and a sprinkle more cinnamon but it was heavenly.

Week 1- Starting over on a new Weight Watchers plan

Okay so this is is week 1 on the new Weight Watchers PointsPlus Program. I did do this program a little bit last year when they first came out with it but I have registered online and now I'm starting over.
So here are the pictures that my Dad took of me for my before pictures.


Since this isn't my highest ever weight I know that these aren't as bad as it's gotten but this is where I am now. I am starting over, a fresh start.  Let's see where this journey takes me.
