An Insider's Guie to Dining Out

Hello, Weight Watchers! Sorry for the long hiatus on the blog. Life, stuff, you know.

The weather is finally cooperating with outdoor activities and summer is almost here! This is a great time of year to lose weight!

IT REALLY WORKS! TIP
The number one thing I'm hearing this week is JOURNAL! It's way too easy to forget that snack, latte, drink, or extra portion and not account for the points if you don't write it down. It really works!

If you bite it, write it
If you snack it, track it
If you nibble it, scribble it.
If you drink it, ink it
If you steal it, reveal it.
If you sneak it, leak it.
If you grab it, blab it.
If you indulge it, divulge it.
If you lick it, bic it.
If you hog it, log it.
Grab your pencil before your utensil!
Only journal on the days you want to lose weight!

When preparing meals at home, most of us feel in control. This may not be so when dining out - healthy options are often hidden, asking for special preparations may be embarrassing, and portion sizes can be harder to manage. In this meeting, we will face the Jeopardy! that dining out can present (hint, hint) and take control to keep our weight loss on track.

Have a great week, everyone!
