Getting to know your eating style is important. Did you figure out anything new about what your eating habits are?
This Week
Most of us probably wouldn't mind looking thinner. No matter where you're at on your journey, we'll talk about how to look better now, and how to feel better about it.
Kudos
We had all sorts of celebrating to do this week: Stephanie got her 5 pound star, Vernay reached 20 pounds, Karen hit 25 pounds (48 total including her pre-WW loss!), Trixie hit 30 pounds. Floyd and Hethyr both got their 16 week charms, Velma got her 10% keychain, and Elise reached Lifetime!
WW Product of the Week
Mix-Ins: It's hot, so are you drinking enough water? If you don't like the taste of plain old water, or you get bored with it, try our flavor mix-ins. Wouldn't a glass of lemonade sound good right now? Our packets will flavor a 16 ounce container nicely.
Weekly Potpourri
Anyone who works in an office setting will probably get a kick out of this one. This is from one of my favorite webcomics, Toothpaste for Dinner:

If you can't read the writing on the pizza box it says "Let's get fat together." It feels like that sometimes, doesn't it?
Recipe of the Week
This is a recipe I found this past week on eTools that helped me use up a bunch of fresh produce I had on hand.
Minestrone with Kale
POINTS® Value: 3
Servings: 8
2 tsp olive oil
2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced 1/4-inch thick
10 medium baby carrots, halved widthwise if large
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cup kale, coarsely chopped
28 oz canned diced tomatoes, with basil, garlic and oregano, undrained
4 cups vegetable broth
15 oz canned great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup cooked orzo
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano recommended
Heat oil in a large pot. Add zucchini, carrots and onion; sauté over high heat until onion is transparent, about 7 minutes. Add kale; sauté until wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes, broth and beans. Simmer until carrots are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in cooked orzo, salt and pepper.
To serve, pour into bowls and sprinkle with cheese. Yields about 1 cup of soup and 1 1/2 tablespoons of cheese per serving.
