Chocolate Strawberry Deliciousness - a 3 Point recipe

Ingredients
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1 graham cracker square (half a sheet), crushed
  • 2 tbsp Hershey's chocolate syrup
In a dessert dish (I just used a mug), layer 1/2 of the strawberries, top with half the graham cracker crumbs. Drizzle 1 tbsp chocolate syrup on top. Repeat layers with the remaining ingredients.

Yield: 1 dessert
Time: 5-10 minutes

Week 1, Day 4

Late post, sorry about that.

I started using Weight Watchers e-tools yesterday. Wow, that website is endless. I'm confused on the navigation, it doesn't seem very user-friendly. I'll get it figured out when I have more time. One huge plus, it gives me my score-card from week to week, showing my current weight, my short-term goal weight, and weight loss. I love that!

I didn't drink enough water today. I'll try harder next time. I was able to treat myself to a fast food dinner today (yesterday). Sweet!

I'm pretty proud of myself for only using 3 bonus points in a day that I had Taco Bell for dinner. It doesn't usually make me very full, but those three items stuffed me. I suppose that's a good sign, my stomach is shrinking back to a normal size. And the dessert I made was delicious! I'll create a new post with the "recipe".
