It's a New Dawn... It's a New Day.. It's a New Life for me!

And I'm feeling good....

Yes those are the lyrics to the song "Feelin' Good" sung by the wonderfully talented Jennifer Hudson on the Weight Watchers commercials. Today is my new day and I am feeling good. This blog is about to take a new direction. It will not only serve as a journey through my kitchen creations but on my Weight Watchers Journey as well!
Being the new year I am not going to set any creative goals --- just the ones that many women (and men) around the world are setting....losing weight! Two years ago I had this resolution and I lost 24 pounds on Weight Watchers but since then the weight has come back on and them some. I would like to blame it all on the infertility meds but I can't. It's time to take control of my life again and lose some weight. So here we go...

Tonight's meal is from the Weight Watchers Cookbook.
