Weigh in Saturday

I'm so proud of myself this week.....down 3lbs!!!  I was shocked since the past 3 weeks have only been .4  It made me feel great =)

I also got 2 new dessert ideas from the meeting today
1. sliced strawberries, FF cool whip & FF hersey syrup
2. sliced banana, FF cool whip & 1 Tbsp chopped walnuts

My co-worker also does frozen fruit, FF cool whip & plain greek yogurt.

Oh to go back to my last post...the honey fish was good...not so much on the blueberry lime salsa though.

As promised.....

Below are my measurements:
Neck - 16.25
Bicep - 19
Forearm - 11
Bust - 48
Waist - 47.5
Hips - 58
Thigh - 32
Calf - 19

OK, these are really depressing, now to work on shrinking them down!  I will do these monthly to check my progress.

Last weeks update & new creation

This week's loss was OK...once again 0.4 down.  Although I'm happy it's going down, I wish it would be more.  I've noticed I do very good the beginning of the week then I start to slack a little.  That may be why I'm not seeing better losses.

On to tonights dinner......
I've found this blog  http://www.howsweeteats.com/  and everything looks AMAZING!!  Tonight I tried the Crispy Honey Lime Tilapia (although I used White Fish instead) 9pp, Blueberry Lime Salsa 1pp for 1/2c, and also sauteed zucchini in 2Tbsp olive oil and seasoned with salt, pepper & 1/4c parmesan cheese 2pp.

I haven't tried it yet as I'm waiting for the hubby to get home but it smells delicious........

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 =)
