I recalculated my Weight Watchers points after I obtained my goal weight and learned I am back where I started. I get 21 points now and that is what I was originally assigned when I began this journey. But a funny thing happened on the way to my goal. I learned to eat less. Now that I can eat more I find it sometimes difficult to do so. I have this little fear in the back of my head that I will just keep on losing even when I don't want to. Of course it hasn't even been a week yet since I achieved my true goal on my normal weight in date. So I've got time to get the balance worked out.
I was in an adventuresome mood in the kitchen this weekend. My co-worker brought me a cake pop last week and I thought I'd try my hand at making some. I baked my low sugar soda cake. I mixed in my low sugar icing. I made the balls, though they were a little soft. I melted the white chocolate chips in a double boiler in the microwave and here is where I hit the bump in the road - burnt chocolate. Bonnie had warned me about this but I went and did it anyway. An entire package of chips had to be thrown into the trash. So what to do about the pops?? I wrapped them individually in plastic and put them in the freezer. They didn't freeze solid and are a cool treat to have when I want something sweet but not sinful. Oh well, it took me 3 batches of Bavarian Red Cabbage to get it right. I'm not giving up on this idea yet. I'll just go back where I began and try again.
