WW Donuts

 Hi Everyone!

I'm on WW Blue plan. I'm always looking for low point snacks that are easy to make and yummy.   I've been craving donuts lately.  I tweaked a WW friendly recipe and I really enjoyed them.  You could add an icing but I just dipped them in sugar.  

 

Here is the recipe I used:

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix together in a bowl:

1c Flour

1/2 tsp Salt

1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder

2T Sugar

Mix in another bowl:

1 Egg

1/2c Unsweetened Applesauce (single serve cups are usually 1/2c)

3T Unsweetened Almond Milk

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Gradually add wet ingredients into dry ingredients,

I sprayed my donut pan with Cooking Spray but you might not need to depending on what type of pan you have.

Spoon batter evenly into donut pan.  For me it made 6 donuts and 6 mini donuts. (I only have one of each type of pan and I wanted them done at same time). 

Bake 12-14 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

I poured a bit of sugar on a plate and dipped donuts in it.  Sugar only stuck to the bottom.  Wasn't even 1/8 tsp on each so I didn't count it.  You can count it but it might change points.  You do whatever is best for you. 

We all tried a mini so that's why there's only 3 in pic. 😊

When I put it it WW Recipe Builder I put 8 servings.  I counted 3 minis as 1 regular donut.  I thought that was fair. 😉 I'm on WW Blue.  

1 Donut = 2pts   2 Donuts = 5pts  (Don't you love WW math?  LOL )

To me they tasted like Plain Donuts.  I've seen them called Coffee Donuts.  I thought they were yummy and worth the points.  

If you try them let me know if you liked them.  Did you add icing or maybe powdered sugar?

Yes I Can Eat Pizza on WW Blue

Hi Everyone!

I'm so proud of myself.  Hubby wanted take-out pizza.  My fave is peppers, onions and sausage.  It took me a few minutes to decide not to get sausage.  I got onions, peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes.  Yay me!

 

I had to use a few weeklies.  I ate a low point lunch.  I ate 4 slices of a Pizza Hut medium hand tossed pizza with veggies on it for dinner.  It was yummy!  I even blue dotted.  Yay me! 

So yes you can eat take-out pizza on WW Blue.  It just takes some planning.  And it was totally worth all the points to me.  I don't get pizza every week so I don't feel bad about it.

Have a great day!

What I Eat in a Day on WW Blue

 Good Morning Everyone!

Thought I'd post a What I Eat in a Day on WW Blue.  For me I get 23 Daily Points and 28 Weeklies.  Weeklies can be used at anytime or not at all (that's never happened  lol).  You can roll over up to 4 daily points if you don't use them into your weeklies.  They also give you a Blue Dot in the app if you stay within your points.

Breakfast (no pic)

Lunch 

Dinner

Snacks

 

Snacks = 8 points

End of the day I Blue Dotted and rolled over a point.  And I got almost 15,000 steps + 6+ miles on FitBit.  Yay me!!!   

Are you on a weight loss journey?  Let me know in comments.

Have a great day!  -Kim

My Weight Loss Journey

 Hi Everyone!  

Thought I'd share some of my everyday life.  I'm on WW Blue Plan (formerly Weight Watchers).  I've been on it since Thanksgiving 2019.  In almost a year I've only lost 15 pounds.  I think I'm the problem not the WW plan.  lol  

 

I've been exercising at least 5 days a week.  I bought a Fitbit.  I was walking at least 5 miles a day which is about 10,000 steps.  Staying within my points.  No weight loss.  So my cardiologist suggested a Gazelle.  It's an eliptical-glider.  You might have seen the ads with Tony Little.   We bought  one and I love it.  It isn't stressful on my feet and knees like walking was.  Still no losses.

We like to eat down by the Bay and the easiest place to get food is McDonalds.  Since Covid, they aren't serving anything healthy.  No salads.  No grilled chicken.  Sometimes we eat there a few times a week.  

So now I'm upping my game.  Only McDonalds once a week, sometimes not at all.  We've been going to WaWa (convenience store) and getting sandwiches to eat by the water.  I upped my steps to 12,000.  Put some weights on the Gazelle for resistance.  Bought a digital scale.  Ours was a dial one that was ancient.  New scale weighed me at about +5 pounds so that is my new starting weight.

So that's where I am.  I feel better since I got the Gazelle.  I went down a pant + shirt size but I've got a long way to go.  

I'm gonna post occasional What I Eat in a Day on WW Blue posts.  Let me know if you like them.  

Have a great day!  -Kim

Miss me?

Hello!   Have you missed me? 

 

It's been many years since I've blogged.  Ever since my old blogging platform called Multiply stopped doing blogs, I never really found another that I liked as much.  I kept in touch with a few blogging friends on Facebook but now I've gotten the blogging bug again.  

I miss blogging.  I'm also trying vlogging.  I'm not good at it yet but I'm giving it a try.  I borrowed my son's GoPro Hero 4 Silver.  It's not too good for what I want it for but I'm trying to make it work.

Since Covid 19 we (me + hubby) haven't been able to get away.  My son is all grown up now so he won't be going with us since he has a very busy life.  Now that restrictions are lifting we are hoping to do some overnighters and day trips. 

I have posted my 1st few vlogs on YouTube.  I'll do a separate blog post on each.

We have a few day trips and a weekender coming up so I'm excited to vlog them.  I'm not gonna say where they are so you be surprised.

I'm also on a weight loss journey.  I'm on WW Blue Plan.  I'll do another blog and talk about that.

Well I've bored you long enough.  Please say "Hello" in the comments if you get a minute.

Have a great day!  -Kim
