Midweek Minutes
October 12, 2013
Hello, Winners!

Let me just start off by saying that NEXT SATURDAY morning, October 19, the Hastings meeting will begin at 8:30 because my receptionist Kim and I are traveling to Omaha for the annual Weight Watchers Staff meeting where we learn what's going to be new at Weight Watchers in 2014. I'm always excited about the yearly staff meeting and getting the scoop on all the new stuff planned. I don't know anything yet, and I'll be a MUMMY about it until December when we will roll it out to you. All I know is, the program ALWAYS makes any important changes based on the latest scientific research, which only improves what we already have, and it's pretty great now. isn't it?

As we move into October, we realize there are only a few weeks until Halloween, and everything is changing around us! The leaves are changing, the weather is changing, and we are on a journey to discover how to best handle those upcoming holidays successfully.
We are definitely on a journey of discovery with destination unknown...a long term healthy weight. Some of us have never been at a healthy weight before. Some of us have been there, stayed for there for awhile but left it, and are back again to journey once more to that desired place. What makes us begin? Why did we leave? What made us come back? What keeps us going? These are all questions that come to mind as we think about another holiday season.
Do you want to cringe when the cameras come around for those holiday photos? How will you handle those once-a-year foods you know you crave for reasons other than hunger? What will you do at those holiday parties where you have no control over the menu? Are you thinking, "I can't do this until after the holidays?" Will you be one of those who puts off taking charge of your health and fitness until January....AGAIN? NO! Not you!

You are a Weight Watchers' member. You are coming to weekly meetings for the group support and the accountability. You are planning your meals and tracking your food. You are learning from past years what didn't work and changing habits. The time is NOW! Yes, the holidays will soon be upon us. It's time NOW to work the program and make new habits. If not now...when?
So, let me ask you again. What needs to happen for you to be mindful of your eating, to move a little bit more, to attend meetings even though schedules are hectic and heating up, and to address the causes and not just the symptoms of eating too much this time of year? Will you come to the meetings this week? I bet you will because you're winners!

See you then, and yes, there IS a meeting in Superior on Columbus Day!--Zig

The Unhealthiest Thing You Do

Discover easy ways you can live a less sedentary lifestyle — starting now.
Here's some serious news you shouldn't take sitting down: The more you sit, the greater your risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and other ailments.* Even if you work out for an hour every day, it's really the amount of time you spend sitting that has the biggest impact on your health. According to some estimates, the average American is sedentary for more than half the time they're awake — about 7.7 hours**.

In your meeting this week, you can participate in an activity that explores how much time you spend seated and gives you a chance to practice this month's Routine: Walk at least 5 minutes each hour. You'll also have an opprtunity to chat with other members about how you think activity impacts your progress. For example, at times you might feel like healthy eating alone will get you to your goals. But as you'll discuss in your meeting, eating well is only part of the story.

Discover 6 ways to turn seated moments into active movements
  • Use an alarm on your smartphone to remind you to get up from your desk and move every hour.
  • Need to consult with a coworker? Opt for a standing meeting. Or invite him or her for a walk around the office.
  • Do laps around the room at home while you talk on the phone.
  • Get off the couch during commercials and lift weights, do lunges or march in place.
  • Instead of a board game, challenge your kids to something active like Simon Says, charades or a Wii Sports game.
  • Cheer on your kid's team while walking along the sidelines rather than sitting in the bleachers or on a lawn chair.

Who's Ready to Tailgate?

Score big in the stadium lot — or your own family room — with healthier eats.
Half the fun of watching the big game is getting together with friends and family and eating and drinking your way through the whole thing. But too often, grazing your way through a three-hour game can seriously compromise your healthy-eating efforts.
Whether you pack up the car and bring your pregame party to the parking lot, or approximate a great American tailgate in the comforts of your own home, we’ve got all you need: healthy and hearty recipes, cool gear and gadgets and tips on how to enjoy yourself while staying on Plan.

Lighten Up Parking-Lot Classics

The top 10 Hall of Fame tailgating foods — and how to make them healthier.
There’s no point in tailgating if you’re not doing it big. You want big flavors and big tastes, all in the classic dishes. You just don't want to blow your week's worth of PointsPlus values in one afternoon. So here are the top 10 tailgating classics done the right (light) way.

Pulled pork
With this slow-cooker version, use the meat from high on the loin, rather than off the shoulders and butt.The night before, throw a 3-pound trimmed pork loin in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, then dump in an 18-ounce bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce. Secure the lid and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. The next morning, shred the meat with two forks right in the pot — which you can bring to the game. Serve with jarred pickle relish or jalapeño rings on whole-wheat buns.

Burgers
Step away from the ground chuck. Go for the leaner stuff, like 90% lean (or higher) ground beef. Better yet, have the butcher trim a sirloin and grind it for you. To keep these leaner burgers moist, for every pound of ground meat, grind 6 ounces mushrooms in a food processor until they make a coarse paste. Mix with the meat along with some Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Form into patties and grill.

Brat subs
Turkey brats are a healthier, leaner alternative to the usual larded brats. Split the turkey brats down the middle, then char them on all sides over the fire. Slip them into toasted whole-wheat buns — and top with jarred roasted red peppers, jarred pickled onions, bagged shredded carrots, and mustard.

Wings
Just three wings rack up 9 PointsPlus values. But not to worry. We’ve got an even tastier version. Marinate 1 pound of chicken tenders in 1/4 cup jarred wing sauce for 30 minutes. Thread those tenders on sticks and grill directly over the fire. No spongy skin, no mess — plus the great taste of the grill.

Nachos
Here are the tricks to make them healthier — and more flavorful, too. First, make your own refried beans. Dump a drained 15-ounce can of pinto beans in a food processor with 1 canned chipotle chili in adobo sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon chili powder, and 1 teaspoon minced garlic. Whir it up and smear it on whole-wheat pita chips on a baking sheet. Bring on the veggies, too — lots of diced red bell pepper, celery and shredded carrots, dolloped with salsa, and top with 1/2 cup shredded lowfat cheddar. Broil until cheese melts.

Chili
This new take on chili doesn’t sacrifice taste and pumps up the veggies. First, spray a large pot with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound diced, trimmed bottom-round beef, 2 cups bell pepper strips, and 1 cup chopped onions. Stir over the heat until the meat is brown, about 10 minutes. Now add two 15-ounce cans drained and rinsed pinto beans, one 28-ounce can diced tomatoes, 1 cup frozen corn kernels, 1/2 cup reduced-sodium, fat-free chicken broth, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon ground cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring it all to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the meat is tender, stirring often, about 30 minutes. Bring along some garnishes worth 0 PointsPlus values: minced scallions, cilantro leaves, and pickled jalapeño.

Guacamole
What’s tailgating without a classic dipper like this? Here’s a way to get that great, rich taste of avocados without spending a meal’s worth of PointsPlus values on a couple spoonfuls of dip. Mash 1 cup frozen, thawed peas in a big bowl with the back of a fork. Mash in 2 peeled and pitted avocados with that fork. Stir in 1 diced tomato, 2 minced scallions, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several dashes of hot red pepper sauce. Done. Except for one more thing. Peeled avocado can oxidize and turn brown very quickly. Keep this guac green by pressing a sheet of plastic wrap right onto the top of the dip in the bowl before refrigerating it.

Quesadillas
There’s nothing like melted cheese to ruin a healthy eating plan. So don’t let too much smear your team spirit. Use just 1/2 ounce shredded cheese. Sprinkle it on a whole-wheat tortilla. Add lots of diced veggies: chopped jarred roasted red peppers, thinly sliced red onion, thinly sliced radishes, thawed frozen corn kernels, peeled and pitted mangoes, shredded carrots and/or shredded apple. Fold the tortilla over and griddle or grill until lightly browned and irresistible. You could even set up bowls of the filling and let everyone build their own.

Potato salad
Steam 1 pound of small, quartered, yellow-fleshed potatoes until tender. Toss with 1 pound thawed, frozen stir-fry-style vegetables, 2 cups shredded skinless rotisserie chicken-breast meat, and 1/2 cup bottled lowfat sesame-ginger dressing. Bang, an Asian potato salad. Kiss that gloppy, mayo-laden stuff good-bye.

Chocolate ice cream
Make this easy hybrid dessert, a cross between pudding and ice cream. Mix all this in a food processor up to two days in advance: 1 chopped banana, one 12-ounce package silken firm tofu (like Mori-Nu), 5 tablespoons cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar and 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Process it, then scrape it into a bowl, cover, and chill for at least 12 hours. Scoop into small sugar cones and serve.

BAD WEATHER: If there will be a meeting cancellation due to SNOW, etc., please stay tuned to NTV or KHAS-TV. I will call them to announce a meeting cancellation by 3 P.M. for Superior...and as early as I can (or the night before) for Hastings Saturday morning meetings. You can also log on to their websites where they have weather closings.
You can also call the Weight Watchers' 800 number to find out if we are having a meeting.
1-800-651-6000.

Skinny Dipping

Tasty ways to lighten up your dips.
One of the most fun ways to eat food is to dip it: chips, veggies, even burgers. But, although we’ve all heard about the horrors of double dipping, the true crime isn’t in the dipping. It’s in the dip.

A naked chip or a plain bag of baby carrots can get boring quickly. But plunge those straight forward dippers into a bowl of creamy French onion or ranch, and soon the bag will be empty. Laden with fat, sugar, and calories, it’s the dip itself that makes it tough to stick to a healthy eating plan. Unless you try one of these easy skinny-dipping ideas:

Straight From the Jar
  • Salsa. Sure, it’s a fresh, delicious dip for tortilla chips, but it’s also great for raw veggies or a grilled chicken sandwich.
  • Chutney. It’s always the perfect low-fat spread on a sandwich, but it’s also an ideal dip if you thin it out with a few tablespoons of unsweetened apple or white grape juice. Try it as a dip for skewered meat or grilled chicken tenders. For a creamier version, mix equal parts chutney and plain non-fat yogurt. Then try it with everything from pretzels to fish sticks.
  • Fat-free mayo and sour cream. Both can easily be whipped up into a terrific dip. For each cup of mayo, sour cream, or a combo of the two in equal parts, add one tablespoon of your favorite spice mixture such as lemon-pepper seasoning, curry powder, or jerk rub.
  • Fat-free vinaigrettes and bottled marinades. Italian-style dressing goes great with poultry, Caesar dressing with lamb, Asian dressing with beef, and pesto or peanut sauces with veggies.
  • Mustard. Honey mustard, coarse-grained mustard, creamy Dijon or even fruit- or berry-laced mustards; any variety makes a great dip for veggies and chips.
  • Jarred marinara sauce. It can be a flavorful last-minute dip for everything from bite-sized meatballs to pita chips. Mix it with a little fat-free mayonnaise for an even creamier dip for pita or rice crackers.
  • Bottled BBQ sauce. It’s perfect with baked tortillas as well as celery stalks and carrot sticks.

For more hearty dipping ideas, just look to canned beans, jarred peppers, and your food processor:
DIY Dippers
  • For a quick and healthy dip with baked chips or cut-up veggies, whir up a couple of jarred roasted red peppers with a can of drained and rinsed white beans, a squeeze of lime juice and a dash of ground cumin.
  • Puree drained and rinsed canned black beans with a small can of drained mandarin orange segments (packed in juice), some chile powder and a dash of hot red pepper sauce like Tabasco.
  • Canned black bean soup is the easiest dip around. Simply open a can and puree in a blender or a food processor. Want more spike? Give it a small splash of apple cider vinegar.
  • Canned chickpeas make the base for great hummus-inspired dips. Drain and rinse one 14-ounce can; place it in a blender or a food processor with 1/4 cup lemon juice, one tablespoon Dijon mustard and a little dill, chili powder or lemon-pepper seasoning. Blend or process and you’re good to go.

How To Cook Healthy When You Are Single
I happen to love it when people send me questions that I can attempt to answer. Do I always know the answer? No, but I love a challenge.

This e-mail came from Malvin:
As a retired Military Officer, Widowed & Single, I like to get more information on: Foods for Widowed & Single advanced in age people like myself. I find it not so easy to go shopping and buy food(s) for a single person.
I can’t help but want to try and help him. As I try to put myself in his shoes, I am amazed at how hard it can be to buy a small amount of food. Have you seen a bag of chips at Costco?
But, Malvin doesn’t want to buy chips. He wants to be healthy or he wouldn’t be reading Snack Girl. Here are some ideas for the single shopper and home cook:
  1. Buy salmon from the frozen section. The fish is in pre-portioned sizes so you don’t have to thaw more than you need. Then, try this recipe: Healthy Fast Food For Nights You Don’t Have Time To Cook.
  2. Buy a salad spinner and pre-wash a head of lettuce. Store the lettuce in a plastic container and use it as you go - check out this post: The Easiest Way To Make Salad Part of Every Day
  3. Make some main dishes and freeze smaller portions. You have to be sure that these meals will freeze well. I ALWAYS have some chili in my freezer ready for a quick meal. Try making the pumpkin chili that I featured earlier this month.
  4. Buy some healthier frozen meals for nights when you can’t stand to cook. This post: The Best Packaged Frozen Meals For Dieters has a great discussion on the healthiest brands and meals in the frozen section. I learned a lot when I read the comments. Give a few a try.
  5. Make meals with snacks. Many of my readers put together a few of my super easy snacks for dinner. I know it sounds crazy but they write and tell me this is what they eat. Roast some cauliflower, make a english muffin pizza and you have dinner.

Pumpkin Smash Smoothie
2 cups fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt, see shopping tip
½ cup canned pumpkin
1 cup light vanilla soy milk, I used Silk brand, or reduced-fat milk
2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups ice
1. In a blender, add all the ingredients. Blend on high until smooth.
2. Divide smoothie among 2 tall glasses.
Makes 2-16 oz smoothies or 4-8 oz (1 cup) servings

Shopping Tip

Storage Tip

Store leftover canned pumpkin in a plastic container in the fridge. It will keep for several days and you’ll surely want to make this smoothie again.
Freezing is another good way to preserve leftover pumpkin. You should never freeze canned goods inside the can,
but you can easily freeze canned pumpkin once you remove it from the can. Store it in a plastic container or freezer bag.
***Calorie Cutting and Weight Watchers POINTS Tip
This smoothie is so rich tasting and satisfying, you could really share 1-(16 ounce) serving.
One 8 ounce (1 cup) serving has 158 calories, 0 fat, and 4 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS.
Weight Watchers POINTS
Plus 8
