I made these for a Bachelorette pre-party (amongst other delicious finger foods) and they were a hit. Two roll ups are a serving and each serving is two Weight Watcher points. They were super easy to make, just a little bit hard to keep together when moving them into my serving dish.
I did find it important to use a salsa with some good flavor to it. The creme cheese will dilute some of the taste so it needs to be a bit strong to start.
The company wide weight-loss competition that I’m participating has officially begun and so has my efforts towards winning. It was a rough start, however, because I caught some sort of bug. I was coughing, sneezing, constantly tired, achy, and grouchy. I typically gain weight when I’m sick so I was not looking forward to the first team weigh-in. Luckily, I did manage to drop a couple pounds since my Starting Weight weigh-in, so I didn’t completely let my team down. We’ve decided to try to weigh-in every Thursday to keep track of our progress. I will not be posting weekly updates on that. I will post monthly like I have before.
So what have I been doing to get healthy again? I’ve been able to maintain my diet, so that hasn’t changed much. And I sit in front of my computer all day while I’m work. So I’ve had to find something to do. And the easiest thing to change at work? Taking the stairs.
The building that I work in has six floors and I’m stationed on the bottom level. However, I often work with people on the fourth and fifth floors. So there are three to four flights of stairs for each meeting. What about did me in was a trip to the sixth floor. I figured “hey, it’s only one more flight. I can do that, no problem.” Wrong. By the time I got to the top of the stairs, I saw the health cricket congratulating me. I have never had such a desire to rip down a sign and yell profanities at it. I was out of breath for the first several minutes of my meeting and I realized how pathetic that was. It had to change.
I’ve been continuing the stair habit and the health cricket’s face is getting less irritable. Luckily I only see him when I have meetings on the sixth floor and those are few and far between.
I know it’s been months since my last post, but I’m back! I’m moved to KC, I’ve started my new job, and gotten settled. I have slacked in my visits to the gym, but I’ve kept up my diet and I’m proud to say that I’ve maintained my weight loss.
But now I need to stop slacking and get back to work! The company I work for is doing a team-based weight loss competition and I am partaking. The team that loses the highest combined weight percentage wins. And I refuse to let my team down.
You can expect more recipes coming your way and more weigh-ins. There are only two official weigh-ins for this competition, so I’ll be doing unofficial weigh-ins as I go. So stayed tuned!
