So, I'm starting again now. Starting today, I'm going to do my best to follow the WW plan while also doing my best to eat a more balanced diet (I'm horrible for getting enough fruits and vegetables, and while I love dairy it tends to get skipped when I'm watching points).
Working to get enough servings of each food group, while not getting too many points, with the food available to me on a VERY limited budget, and still keep food from being a complete drag will be an interesting challenge.
Since they've added the WWpoints to the food entries here, I'll be tracking my eating here and you will all be able to see how well I'm doing. I will happily accept any pointers, but please keep in mind the four limitations listed above. :)
As Busch Gardens has just opened for the season and I'm getting over my winter blahs, I'm revising my previous goal. My new goal is: Be able to fit into the seats of the Griffon (roller coaster) before Hallow-Scream begins (October). Of course, if I (for whatever reason) don't make it, I'll still have made progress toward a healthier me. :) But I really want to ride that stinkin' roller coaster this year!

I have some lower cost suggestions of food to help you get your 4 food groups in and stay under points (all things I eat myself!). First of all, Walmart's Good Value brand has loads of healthy choices that are significantly lower priced than the name brands and they also have lower prices on lots of food items than the regular grocery stores. Breakfast food ideas: high fiber cereal with milk, scrambled eggs and whole wheat toast, yogurt and fruit (canned is good if it is not packed in syrup). Lunch ideas: canned tuna or salmon in sandwiches on whole wheat bread or pitas or tortillas (wraps) or on salad; homemade soups; salads (choose the veggies that are lower priced and on sale). Supper ideas: whole chicken fryers are much cheaper than parts and will give leftovers that can be used with salads, sandwiches or soups; tortilla pizza (6 in whole wheat tortilla, pizza sauce, any veggies, turkey pepperoni, part-skimmed mozza); omelettes (they don't have to be just for breakfast!); frozen veggies are much cheaper than their fresh counterparts and often have more nutrients because they are frozen just hours after being picked. I hope that helps you with a few ideas. I am sure you will be able to reach your goal for Busch Gardens in October. Have a great day!
