myWW: The Blue, Green, & Purple Plan

I’ve been on the WW app and website since after might learning all about the new WW program called myWW. 

The verdict: It looks awesome.

The premise behind myWW is that you get a choice on which of the three plans you’d like to do.  Green Plan, Blue Plan, and Purple Plan.  I shared a photo of the differences yesterday.

I’ve decided to give the Purple Plan a try.  It just so happens that not only is Purple my favorite color but I’m super stoked to be incorporating more whole foods back into my diet now that they are 0 SPV.  In order to accommodate these higher point foods into your day, the new minimum Daily Smart Points Allowance on the Purple Plan is 16.  I will have 17 DSPA until I lose more weight.

The remainder of my shift last night was spent updating some of my pasta recipes and look for some new recipes.  It’s awesome how modifying a recipe to include 0 SPV whole wheat pasta makes a huge difference. 

I’m looking forward to trying this One Pot Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese dish.  The points dropped from 7 per serving to 2 per service by using whole wheat pasta instead of white pasta and I also will use non-fat milk because I think I’ve got some on hand already.  I also halved the recipe so I will have less portions.  Oh….yummmm….

While hanging out a bit on Connect, I was super stoked when somebody noted that a Wendy’s plain baked potato is 0 SPV on the Purple Plan.  What?!?  It was that instant I decided I was getting a potato and large chili (5 SPV) and my way to work tonight.

I was also pleasantly surprised to see my Copy Cat Panda Express Chow Mein drooped from 7 points to 1 point now that pasta is 0 SPV.  This is going to be amazing.  At least for right now.  I just need something different to re-energize me and I think myWW is what will do this.  I’ve also been looking up other recipes as part of my meal plan this week.

I’m going to give the Purple Plan a go for a while and see how I feel.  I can always switch back to the Blue Plan.  We will be going to Vegas next week.  I’m thinking maybe on the Purple Plan, I could focus on the 0 SPV foods and use my DSPA and WSPA for alcohol.  The tough part is all the delicious food options.  But, I’m still going to give Purple Plan some extra time since vacation will slightly interrupt it.

The new Freestyle Program rolled out in December 2017.  I had a bit of a rough start but by February, I’d found my mojo.  I remember going crazy with new 0 SPV foods and since I love beans so much, I made a huge pot of chili.  I feel sort of like that with myWW.  I want to make all the pasta dishes and have all the potatoes STAT!

I’m hoping to find that mojo with the new myWW and the Purple Plan so I can kick the last of this re-gain weight and re-claim my goal.
