Disappointed

Well, my sil couldn't get the WW books.  Apparently, they are out nationwide.  So, I had to bid on ebay.  I will find out in 7 hours or so if I won.  LOL.  Anyway, here's a snack recipe.  Can't remember where I found it.


No-bake Granola Flax Treats

1/4 cup margarine
4 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup crushed cinnamon graham cracker crumbs (I used honey grahams instead)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup dry roasted sunflower seeds
1/2 cup ground flax

Melt margarine in a large saucepan over low heat; add marshmallows and stir continuously until
mixture is smooth. Stir in oats, graham cracker crumbs, cranberries, sunflower seeds and flax.
Mix until thoroughly combined. Spray 8"x8" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Cool
completely before cutting into squares.

So exited!

I am so exited!  Tonight my sister in law is going to her Weight Watchers meeting and picking up the books and point calculator I need to finally start.  I want to be healthy and a good example to my kids.  Sam and I had to have a healthscreen done at his work yesterday (weighed, waist measured, bloodwork, and blood pressure taken).  The good news is that Sam has lost 75 pounds so far and my cholesterol went from 300 to 117 in about 2 years with no medication.  I am thinking of also trying to go low carb, not sure on that...yet.

Caramel Apple Salad

1 cup= 1 ww pt.

1 sm. pkg sugarfree butterscotch instant pudding mix
8 oz crushed pineapple with juice
3 cups chopped apples
8 oz ff Cool Whip
1 cup mini marshmallows
