Welcome! This is a thread for people who want to attend a meeting from the comfort of their own home. We are primarily a PointsPlus board (Go Team Yellow!) but all are welcome to revel in the GHG's, 16 Routines, and topics that never get old. If you're new here, feel free to introduce yourself! If you have anything to celebrate, share and give yourself a bravo sticker: + If you want to make it official, you can weigh yourself and put it in your tracker or share it! If you need some accountability, feel free to post daily how you’re doing on PP/GHG’s. This Week's Topic: Power FoodsPer the pocket guide: Power Foods have the most nutrition per points plus value. They're the best of the best. Fat-free dairy, lean proteins, whole grains, fresh fruit, and vegetables. There are even some surprises like light popcorn, fat-free refried beans, and some veggie burgers. You don't have to eat them all the time but they're a good tool to build your meals. Start with a vegetable, whole grain, or lean protein and go from there. You can also choose them for snacks between meals or swap them into your favorite dishes. More food, fewer points. Here's the list of power foods: www.weightwatchers.com/images/1033/dynamic/gcmsimages/food_list.pdfName some of your favorite power foods. Do you normally pay attention to power foods? Are there any dishes you currently make that are loaded with power foods? What is a "new" power food you can try to incorporate into your diet this week?
This Week’s Routine: (4) Know what you’re having for lunch. GHG of the Week: 5 servings of fruits/veggies daily (1 cup of leafy greens, 1/2 cup of fruits/vegetables)

Name some of your favorite power foods. Fruits: Apples, bananas, grapes, strawberries, kiwi Veggies: Carrots, celery, bell pepper, onion, cucumber Other: Brown rice, whole grain pasta, beans, oatmeal/cream of wheat, salsa There's actually a lot of good stuff on that list. I need to print it out and have it next to me when I'm meal planning.
Do you normally pay attention to power foods? I really don't, and I should. It really made me rethink a few things.
Are there any dishes you currently make that are loaded with power foods? Stuffed bell peppers, stir fry over rice, I really just love rice bowls, and anything with beans and salsa.
What is a "new" power food you can try to incorporate into your diet this week? I'm going to focus on cucumber. We have a lot from our garden and I really do like cucumber so I want to try to use it.
This Week’s Routine: (4) Know what you’re having for lunch. Bean burritos and salad with all the fixings. Yum!
GHG of the Week: 5 servings of fruits/veggies daily (1 cup of leafy greens, 1/2 cup of fruits/vegetables) I try for a fruit/veg with every meal and snack. Doesn't always happen though.

I thought I filled this in BUT it seems I didn't...oopsie!
Name some of your favorite power foods. I like most of the foods on the list BUT as I am mostly vegetarian end up with more beans than animal proteins. Right now we are eating mostly from the garden with whole grains and dry beans cooked and added in every day
Do you normally pay attention to power foods? Doing core ALL the foods are power foods so...kind of do at the moment!
Are there any dishes you currently make that are loaded with power foods? All of them...grains for breakfast with fruit and dairy or savory with tomatoes and beans or an egg, salads, Mexican themed grain on the bottom tostadas, etc.
What is a "new" power food you can try to incorporate into your diet this week? There isn't really anything NEW in the market that is available so don't have an answer to this one
This Week’s Routine: (4) Know what you’re having for lunch. Today will be that tostada with the brown rice on the bottom and ranch dressing mix sprinkled on top with cabbage, beans and corn.
