What Happened Last Week?
Grocery shopping can be a valuable factor in your success. Buying healthy food is the first step in eating it! But beware the tricks of their trade, and for heaven's sake, don't go hungry!
We also kicked off the Lose for Good campaign this past week. Until October 15th, your weight loss goes toward calculating a monetary donation to Share our Strength and Action Against Hunger. You can also help locally by bringing in food donations. Your generosity is critical to helping someone in need.
So What's Coming Up?
Summer (in spirit) is technically over, so many of you will be "back to the grind" when it comes to Weight Watchers. We'll recharge your weight loss efforts so you can have a successful fall.
My Succeed All Summer challenge is just about over this week! Because we will be closed on Monday for the holiday and Sunday is still technically a holiday weekend, we will not be doing the drawings for those meetings this week. So Sunday, if you're in attendance you'll have one last chance to collect a star! Wednesday group - your prize drawing will be held next week so be sure you're there! Email club members: remember you'll get a second entry into the drawing just for being a member.
Labor Day Walk!
Join us on Monday at 8am to kick off the holiday on a healthy foot. Come to Balboa Park, park in the zoo parking lot, and be ready to meet us at the carousel for a 5K (3.1 mile) walk. All speeds, all abilities, all welcome. Bring your friends and family.

Weekly Recipe: Cucumber Pomegranate Salad
It's just about Labor Day weekend, and maybe you have a barbecue or get-together on your calendar. If you've got to bring a dish, this one could definitely be a winner.
Cucumber Pomegranate Salad
That recipe just screams summer salad to me. Cool, fresh and colorful. Enjoy!

What Happened Last Week?
Plateaus - you've been there, you know them, you hate them. Remember that 90% of them are preventable by making sure you continue those healthy habits you were practicing on day one.
Celebrations this week include five pound stars for Jennifer and Scarlett, a 55 pound star for Karla, and a 70 pound star for Yolanda! We also celebrated 5% awards with Ashley and Denise, and gave Marlene her 16 week Stay and Succeed award.
So What's Coming Up?
The supermarket can be a minefield of potential pitfalls: aisle after aisle of tempting foods and beverages! We'll create a game plan and learn to take advantage of the resources available to make shopping a smart trip, not a disaster.
Special for Labor Day!
Join us at Balboa Park near the carousel on Monday, September 5th at 8am. We'll be walking/running/blading/whatevering a 5K course just like we did back on Memorial Day. Mark your calendars and bring your family and friends!

Weekly Recipe: Eggplant and Tomato Tagine
In the discussion of meatless meals recently, I had a request for a recipe for eggplant. Eggplant is a GREAT vegetable that can serve in a meatless dish, because it has heft and flavor. Here's a recipe from Cooking Light that I think will be delicious. And this kind of recipe usually is better the next day, so if you have leftovers, don't worry. The flavors will blend and intensify!

What Happened Last Week?
We explored the world of meatless meals. Even if you're a die-hard carnivore, you've probably had a meal that didn't contain meat. As you're expanding your healthy eating repertoire, this is just another option for you. Let us know if you try anything new!
Celebrations this week included ten pound stars for Denise and Darcy, and a 15 pound star for Taryn. Monday - I'm sorry I wasn't able to celebrate with you this week!
So What's Coming Up?
Do you get frustrated when your weight loss stalls, especially if you believe you've been doing everything right? Of course you do! This week we'll talk about steps you can take to jump-start your weight loss. No one wants a plateau, but it's a typical part of our weight loss journey. Having the tools to deal with it is extraordinarily important!

Okay, so after a week of talking meatless, I'll indulge you with some barbecue recipes from the website.
Weight Watchers Goes Barbecuing
Hilariously enough, the first recipe linked in the article is for tempeh - which is of course a meatless source of protein. You just can't get away from those vegetarians! :)

Return of I Cook So You Don't Have To! Avocado Berry Smoothie
If you were in this week's meeting (and you were, weren't you?!?) you may recall that there was an idea in this week's Weight Watchers Weekly to make an avocado smoothie. Now, I love avocados, so I'm just crazy enough to decide that was a good idea. Here's what the suggestion said:
"Blend flesh of 1 avocado with 1 cup nonfat milk, 1/2 cup ice cubes, and 1 cup fresh berries. Sweeten to taste."
Now, using simple recipe math, I figured this was going to be a PointsPlus loaded smoothie, what with a full avocado and all. But I also figured that with a cup of berries, a cup of milk and a whole avocado, this would blend up into a very large smoothie, and could easily be two servings. And so I decided this would be a Saturday morning treat for my husband and I.
Here are the nutritionals for what I made. I went out of my way to find a rather small avocado, and according to the scale, there was 3.4 ounces of flesh. I used a combination of raspberries and strawberries - mostly because the raspberries I bought for this ended up being fuzzier than I could tell when I bought the package, and I happened to have some strawberries on hand. But I think this would probably also work with blueberries.
Surprisingly this smoothie didn't turn out green, like I expected. The berry color is obviously the dominant one here. I could taste the avocado, but I'd say I tasted the berries more. It was tremendously smooth and creamy (I'm sure making it in my Vitamix probably helped). By using a small avocado, this was definitely not the calorie bomb that I anticipated.
So try it. You might like it!

The basics of a healthy meal plan can easily be satisfied by eating Power Foods and following the Good Health Guidelines. If you learned something new this week, I hope you'll apply it with good results!
Congratulations go out this week to Shelia for reaching her first five pounds lost, Richard for reaching 10 pounds, Lynne and Pat for hitting 15 pounds lost, Jan for getting to 20 pounds, and Nylene for hitting 30 pounds lost! We also celebrated with Nancy for hitting her 5% target, and gave 10% keychains to Jan and Caroline.
So What's Coming Up?
It seems like everywhere you turn these days, there's talk about going meatless. Vegetarian this, vegan that! It's the hot topic for a bunch of reasons. If you're new to meals without meat, we'll discuss how to make a meal that doesn't feel like a let-down, like a collection of vegetable side dishes. As a vegetarian myself, I'm happy to provide some of my own experience. If you're veggie too, let me know! You'll be our expert!

Weekly Recipe: Go Meatless!
In honor of this week's topic, I'm going to share a few links to meatless recipes that I use on a regular basis:
Vegetarian Times - this magazine's website has a searchable recipe database. Not everything's going to be light, but I've found plenty to make, or at least lighten up a bit. Full nutrition information is provided.
Fat-Free Vegan Kitchen - not all of these recipes seem to have nutrition information, but many do. Susan's recipes are definitely Weight Watchers friendly. BEWARE: some of her recipes do have "Points" calculated, and they refer to the old program, not the PointsPlus program! Be sure to do your own calculations.
Post Punk Kitchen - Vegan with an attitude! Once again, not all the recipes she posts are light. But I do own her Appetite for Reduction cookbook, and that is full of a boatload of delicious recipes that easily fit into your daily targets. I got that one for Christmas and early this year was a flurry of cooking from that collection.

Take a bus trip and I'll go too!
Fun without food

Weekly Recipe: Russian Watermelon
I have to be honest: sometimes when it comes time to post the weekly recipe, I have no clue what to post. Today was just that kind of day. So I decided to log into eTools and see what I could find.
It's hot, so a chilly dessert seemed in order. I narrowed my search to desserts within the range of 0-4 PPV. Then I decided to filter only 5 star rated recipes. And then I hit the jackpot. Sometimes a name just catches your eye, you know?

Not surprisingly it involves vodka, so you know, if that's not your thing this won't be for you. But I have a feeling some of you out there might be interested.

We discussed how travel and vacations can upset the usual routine. You all shared some wonderful tips on how to survive various travel scenarios!

So What's Coming Up?
Any time a celebrity talks about weight loss, it's easy to rationalize that "well, if I had a team of experts helping me out, I'd lose too!" If only we had unlimited funds for a team of professionals. Well, you may not have that, but that doesn't mean you're stuck with nothing! We'll focus on the resources we DO have, and figure out how to make the most with them.

The Seven Days of Vacation
We didn't make it through all seven days of the vacation discussion in some of this week's meetings, so I had a request to post the rhymes from each day. Here we go....
Vacation Day #1
I'll be touring in a city
With museums on every street.
The question that I have is
"Oh my God! Where will I eat??"
Vacation Day #2
I'll be hiking up a mountain
Awesome views from all around.
But what matters even more
Is where can food and drinks be found?
Vacation Day #3
I'll be traveling on a bus
For six hours in my seat.
While I'm trapped inside the bus
I know I'll want to eat!
Vacation Day #4
I'll be sailing on a cruise
With activities night and day.
My only worry is
Will I eat the whole buffet?
Vacation Day #5
I'll be staying in a spa
With healthy, power foods for all.
But if at night I'm hungry
Is there candy down the hall?
Vacation Day #6
I'll be staying in a condo
Sharing breakfast, dinner, lunch.
How will I share food
And not O.D. on Cap'n Crunch?
Vacation Day #7
Today my trip is ending
I'll n longer have to roam.
But now I'm freaking out
Because I have no food at home!
Well this completes my list
Of why vacations make me gray.
But I'd like to add a plan
That might be helpful every day:
If I start to eat a meal
And find that overeating wins...
I can stop. And I can change.
As the second course begins.
