Healthy Choices

So this morning as I was doing the dishes from last night I aksed hubby what he wanted for breakfast.  I should know better as he thinks going out to eat will be quicker (which it never is).  I told him to make breakfast while I finish dishes.  Of course he maons and groans about this at first but he did it.  I ended up with a similar breakfast to yesterday.....1/3c egg beaters with 1 slice cheddar cheese, 2 strips of bacon & 1 Thomas whole wheat bagel thin with 1Tbsp cinnamon butter, also 8oz OJ.....15pp total.  I was pretty full from all that!

Afte breakfast we headed over to Sam's Club to stock up on a few things.  We then came home & had a late lunch.  Lunch consisted of 2 Boca spicy chicken patties....had 1 plain & 1 on an Arnold thin.  Total points were 11!

Dinner is going to be kebapi.  The best way I can describe what these are in English is ground beef & pork with spices, rolled up like sausages.  I'll have to take a picture to show you guys....they are very yummy!  They were a regular dinner as a kid.  I actually found the nutrional info on http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ & 4 of them come to 5 points. I was totally shocked at first and thought it would come out to way more!  Think I will make either steamed veggies or a salad to go with them.  For dessert I am making red velvet cupcakes....2 mini cupcakes with 1 Tbsp cream cheese frosting will come to 9pp.

All in all a great food day! LOL

As July comes to a close & August is quickly approaching I have a few "goals".  First off I will be taking a pic of myself and also taking baseline measurements.  I will also have to devote more time to exercise.  Here's to a great week everyone!! =)

One more thing.....

I also got steel cut oatmeal from Trader Joe's.  I always hear about it being better so lets hope it tastes better too! ;)  I found it in the frozen section & it maple & brown sugar flavored.

Saturday Weigh-In

Good news is I lost more than I did last week.......but still it was only 0.4lb.  Oh well, at least its going in the right direction.  Today's meeting was talking about how to survive the summer picnics, weddings, etc.  Someone brought up the Skinny Girl Margarita....will be on the hunt for that one!

After I left the meeting I was on my way to Borders since they are closing.  I was going to buy the Hungry Girl's 300 under 300 recipe book but darnit....it wasn't on sale (even with the up to 40% signs) and the line was too long so I left. 

A few doors down was Trader Joe's......
So at TJ's I bought whole wheat pizza dough, pizza sauce, 2 Clif bars, Skinny Fries & Cinnamon Ezekiel bread.  I walked out for $12 and some change!  I did try the bread this morning & it yummy!  I also had egg beaters w/ cheddar cheese & 2 strips of bacon. 

Weekly recap

Yesterday was weigh-in and I managed to lose 0.2lb.  It was a rough week.  Monday morning we lost power and it didn't come back on until Tuesday night!!  Needless to say there was no home cooked meals all week since I'm in class Tues-Thurs nights.  I managed to somehow make semi-decent choices between the work cafeteria & had McDonalds snack wraps & yogurt parfaits.  Saturday I spent the day cleaning out EVERYTHING and re-stocking.  I wanted to cry at how much money was spent on new groceries!!

Now that I'm stocked up it should be a better week =)

Weigh in update & Sunday Morning....

Well I thought I was doing good last week but the scale showed .2 increase.....UGH!!!  The receptionist says to me "if you would've went to the bathromm you probably would've been the same".  Too bad I already did that before I went!!  Will have to try harder this week.  I started off better though...took the dog for 1.5 mile walk yesterday.

Here is what's for breakfast today :)  Thanks Jillian's Kitchen for the idea!!  5PP per serving (4 servings)....and hubby is grilling some chicken sausages that are 4PP each.  Just heard the oven beep....... :)

Weigh In Saturday

Went to my meeting this morning & went down 0.8#  I was expecting a little more but it's better than gaining so I'll take it.  AF is also here so I'm sure if she wasn't here it would've been a little better.  I'm so glad to be back on the right path!

Today's meeting would've been helpful a few weeks ago.  We discussed how to stay on track during vacation.

Now off to do some grocery shopping for the week.....
