Just had to pop this in here for anyone that might stumble upon my site while "Googling" Papa Murphy's. The other night I had a pizza from papa Murphy's. Gourmet Vegetarian DeLite with light cheese (1/2) and no sauce, just olive oil. I couldn't find the nutritional info for such a pizza so I emailed Papa Murphy's. I received a reply the very next day!
Here's what I got!
1/10th of a pie is 3 points!
This could be great to pair up with a yummy salad I think!

Craving Peanut Butter
Today was a pretty average day. I stayed up too late last night, got a second wind and sorted and cleaned up the junk drawer... till 1 am. Ouch. So Mariel got up before I did, only by about 10 minutes, but I just laid there for that time wishing that she wasn't awake yet and that I had about 2 more hours to sleep. Got up, made breakfast... oatmeal with chunks of fresh cut apple and cinnamon. Added some slight skim milk to our dishes, a small tsp of Brummel & Brown and promised Mariel that if she ate from the edges that it wouldn't be so hot.
We ate our breakfast, and then proceeded to play and clean up a little. Laziness isn't quite the word, but we definitely took our time. By lunch it was time to head to Bend. I tried to comtemplate a way that we could, as a family, incorporate some exercise into the day. Hard to do when it's just near freezing outside and there's ice and snow everywhere. Persuaded Eric to go to Bouncin off the Walls after Costco. We brought Lizzy with us, and had a really good time.
I didn't get quite the workout I hoped for, but none the less the girls wore themselves to near exhaustion. This will make for easy bedtime, which as any parent knows, is always a good thing.
14 points altogether, nearly half my day. Luckily I had a late lunch (2pm) and so I had a cup of coffee tonight and then later had a WW Dessert. I'm still hungry, have 4 points left, but I don't really think I'm THAT hungry to go and eat something now. Besides, it's 10:30pm and to break tradition, will go to bed BEFORE midnight tonight.
Anyway, as I stated in Day 1. This is a journal. Facing my food challenges...
discussing my day, my feelings. Looked in the mirror today, again, and still keep hoping to see some major change. I highlighted my hair, put on some Bare Escentuals tanning lotion and figured at least I can make some changes quickly with SOMETHING on my body. Eric thinks it looks good.. I'm skeptical though.
Goals for tomorrow. Wake up no later than 8:00. Walk on the treadmill 1/2 hour.
Compile paperwork for foreclosure mitigation and get that faxed!!! Clean up bedroom bath, and if possible... another walk in the afternoon. Tomorrow night is Weigh In night... can't say that I expect much of a change since last week. Wish me luck.

Journey continues today on the food front. I'm craving peanut butter like mad.
For lunch, we went to Bend Brewing Co for lunch and ordered a yummy Fish Tacos. It was grilled mahi-mahi with black beans, rice and lots of fresh veggies. Sour Cream and Ohana Salsa on the side. Thought I was doing good having that. man, I was wrong.14 points altogether, nearly half my day. Luckily I had a late lunch (2pm) and so I had a cup of coffee tonight and then later had a WW Dessert.

Day 1 on my new committment
Today is the day I decided to start a "blog" to chronicle my journey through losing some weight and getting focused on living a healthier and ultimately happier life. I don't normally "journal" but I've always wanted to. I read and hear about the benefits, and I have to confess that when I did write something down... I always came back later and experienced a change from it.
How did I come to decide to do this?
I was online and googled "Grocery List Maker" to see if there was a program I could download that would allow me to import my Weight Watchers meals into a grocery list. Instead, I stumbled upon countless blogs of women who are journaling their weight loss experience. It's inspiring and comforting to know that I am not the only woman in the world who faces and battles their weight on a daily basis. It's become such a daily disappointment with me, and I'm tired of it!
A little history...
In October of 2008 I, along with my former co-worker and friend Janet, joined weight watchers in Bend. We were both complaining of the same problems...sore back, tired, depressed, headaches. We both sat on our butts all day in front of a computer, and didn't excercise. So we made a choice, and it was the best choice I've made for myself in a very long time.
I started out at 227, nearly the heaviest I have ever weighed in my life. I was so disappointed in myself. How could I let myself get like this? I looked for someone or something to blame. But in truth, I can't blame anyone, except myself. So here I am. Creating a blog for the world to see, and taking full accountability for my actions and choices. I know that I will have my good days, and bad days, and for now that's ok. I've always been really hard on myself. I expect a lot of myself, and when I comes to weight loss I want the results and I want them NOW. It's going to be a true test of patience on my part to stick with this and make it a natural way of life.
Lastly and importantly I am doing this for my family. My grandfather just underwent bypass for a clogged artery and a valve replacement at age 82. He's been obese as long as I can remember. My grandmother has Type II diabetes. My whole family grew up with food. Midwest living at it's finest... corn and mashed potatoes... cube steak swimming in gravy... green beans so delicately laced with fried bacon. We ate when we were happy, we ate when we were sad. At Christmas time, I went home with my husband and daughter, to Illinois. I went with new eyes, and didn't like what I saw. I saw my grandma taking insulin shots to control diabetes. I saw my grandpa struggle to get out of a recliner. I saw a brace on my Dad's ankle, because it was swollen and can't support his weight.
I LOVE my family... all of them. I put this on my page because I love them. I want my grandparents to live another 10-15 years, to witness all the new changes that come with life.I want them to die of old age, in their sleep, and not at the hands of a stroke or diabetes.
I want my father to live another 40 years. To watch his granddaughter become a woman and have children of her own. I don't want to support him while he undergoes a bypass of his own. I want to be able to hug him, and fit my arms around him. I want him to play with his granddaughter, and do fun things that grandpa's do.
I want to live another 60 years, to become a grandmother myself, and to live it healthfully and happily. I want to be active and set a positive example for my daughter. I want her to see a strong, healthy woman who is her mom and friend. I want to be 60 years old and go snowshoeing or backpacking with my family for an outing.
In closing...
It's a lot to lay out but I feel like I have to put it all down now so that I can really start this journey properly. Honesty is always best, right? Right now I have a lot to be worried about. My husband and I are going through Bankruptcy, foreclosure, no job, no health insurance. Yet I seem to be optimistic that all will work out. I remain focused on the positives... I get to spend everyday taking care of my daughter and spending more time with her and my husband. I have the time to focus on taking care of me for a change too. Next will come learning to balance it all as I take the next steps. As many say during this time...Back to basics.
All in all I can say this about this experience... It's going to be interesting.
