As of today, I have paid for three months of Weight Watchers…and have lost a total of 2.4 pounds. This is not good. Fortunately, WW’s fall campaign, Lose for Good, has inspired me to renew my dedication to losing weight and improving my health.Lose for Good is a national campaign promising that for every pound lost with WW between September 7 and October 18, WW will donate the equivalent of one pound of food to someone who needs it. In addition, local offices are collecting food for local hunger relief programs. The meeting I attend will be donating food to Harvesters.
As part of my new and improved attitude toward eating healthy and losing weight, I bought some new bagels. I’d read about 1-point bagels several times, but had never gotten around to buying any. After all, they’re more expensive and only sold at Hy-Vee (while I normally buy most my groceries at Walmart). But this week…this week, I’m being healthy. So, new bagels it is.
Western Bagel Alternative Bagels™ are very good. I got the Sweet Wheat variety, and they’re quite yummy. Sweet and wheaty. The bagel is definitely smaller than the ones I like to buy at Einstein Brothers (check out their site – it’s a really good one). But it tastes good, and when I add my fake cream cheese, it’s a pretty good breakfast. And thanks to the extra fiber in the bagel, it lasts longer than a bowl of my favorite, not-as-healthy-as-it-seems cereal.
