Weight Watcher's Menus Week #1

This is a re-run.  How funny that last year I was slimming down for a cruise and now I am slimming
for a trip to Las Vegas. And tonight Auntie M is coming over with her brood and we are having a last hurrah. This time a buffett of junk food. Tommorrow back to health and exercise and adequate sleep.



I am going on a cruise Feburary 14th so starting next week, I need to get serious about diet and exercise.

I will share my menus and recipes with you. It's your choice whether you follow it or not. I will list Weight Watchers points for the majority of food items and when I list a brand name it's not because I am getting paid (because I am not that smart), it's just for your convenience.
