These next few days are going to be loaded with WW as I navigate the ins and outs of the point system and how it all works with my lifestyle. I did go 1.5 points over today. I also learned a few things.
1. I drink too much coffee.
2. Coffee is free, but the stuff that goes in it is bad. A single cup of coffee is 6.5 points.
3. A single cup of coffee is actually a quart-sized mason jar. Because is is a human-sized cup, it is actually half a point.
4. I don't drink fat-free stuff. As a result, the raw goat milk that goes in it has lots of points. The points system does not differentiate between plain sugar, raw sugar, or honey. It all has the same points per tbs.
I am going to either learn how to drink it black or give up coffee. That is way too much point usage for a single cup and since I (until today) drink 2-3 POTS of coffee, this is not going to be easy. Coffee is its own food group! It's right up there with chocolate! More important that chocolate. Chocolatey goodness is not needed for physical survival! (Mental survival, maybe, but not physical.)
In science today, I made mozzarella cheese. Well, I tried. It just did not want to set up. So, I scooped out some of it, drained it, and made a dessert cheese. When I got home from being gone for several hours, the cheese finally set up and I now have a large ball of mozzarella.
I went out with M today and did a bunch of shopping. I picked up some things George might like, some lunch meats including lean turkey breast, some dark green lettuce, and a bunch of other stuff that might help me with my points.

Good luck with your new Weight Watchers goals. I had just recently seen something on the fact that goat cheese has a lot of fat in it. That has to be a bummer for you since you use goat milk.
How many Thin Mints can you have?
We have that issue with mozzarella sometimes too, even more often with cow milk than goat. It's bizarre. I can't figure out what the variable is that affects it.

Good luck with you WW, I had no idea coffee was so bad, thank goodness I don't drink it but I do have a addiction myself to the bad....Mt. Dew. I wonder how many points one of those puppies is.
Either way sorry your goat cheese didn't turn out but mozzarela is very yummy too! Good luck!
