Tomorrow I go to Weight Watchers to weigh-in since returning. I think I've done pretty well this week. I have not weighed myself..I'm determined to just go by the scale each week at the meeting. So, well see tomorrow. I do want to share a recipe that was in one of the pamphlets I got at last weeks meeting. It's a good one for lemon pie. And for those following WW...it is 4 points a slice. Each pie has 10 slices, so as you can imagine they are small slices.

Lemon Pie

6 squares of graham crackers
2 TB butter
1 can fat free sweet end condensed milk.
2 eggs.
1/2 cup lemon juice..fresh or bottled.

Crush of the graham crackers and add the 2TB of melted butter to it. Mush it up and press into a pie plate. Mix the milk and eggs till smooth, stir in the lemon juice. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Chill. It is really good. I put a dab of fat-free cool whip on top.

I have made this once using the lemon juice, but tonight I tried it with key-lime juice. I have quickly learned you need to reduce the amount of key lime juice. It is really sour. I'm hoping cool whip on top will help counter balance some of the sour! Pucker-power!

I want to share a quote I recently heard that is good for us struggling with losing weight. God gave us food to eat so we can live...not so we live so we can eat.
