Just Do It!

That’s my motto this week when it comes to exercising!! Too many times I find an excuse not to get active. It’s not even that cold outside this week but I still put off going for a walk. No more! This week I’m telling myself to ‘just do it’! And so far that’s what I’ve done.  Well, not the walking outside part.

On Sunday I actually did the 20 minute body toning workout on my Reebok bench. Yesterday I did the Leslie Sansone Walk Away The Pounds 2 mile walk :-) And today, I did the weights again – that’s 3 days in a row! I must admit I’m rather pleased with myself.

DSCF4605 Last night I had ‘white chicken chili’ for dinner. The recipe came from the Bush’s can of Northern Beans. I won’t be making it again :-/ Hubby didn’t like it much and although the taste was ok to  me, the texture was not – rather ‘slimey’ for want of a better word! I discovered ‘Baked Tostitos’ this week after reading Marisa’s blog. Well I know about baked chips and I have tried some, but not these. They are 3pp for 14 chips. The chili was 5pp for a cup.

I tried something new for breakfast today – dark chocolate oatmeal! DSCF4608It looks a lot better on the box! I made mine with 1/2 cup of ff milk so I could get some dairy in! If I don’t have cereal I only get it from a greek yogurt, and I don’t have one of those every day. This was ok, kinda chewy, but I think I can get used to that. 4pp for 1 serving. I had a banana too, a few slices on top.

I just discovered Flat Out wraps this week too. Only 2pp each!

This is Hungry Girl’s Crispy White Pizza. I saw it on her first tv show last week and this is the third one I’ve made :) Love it! She actually used a whole wheat tortilla but this works just as good. Total is just 4pp (2pp for the ff ricotta cheese, onions and tomatoes 0pp).

Dinner tonight (for me, I made hubby enchiladas) cos I just HAD to try Marisa’s Black Bean Chili Dip. Total about 12pp. 8 for the dip, 3 for the brown rice and I have only 4 chips there, barely a point!

Kristen’s friend called over tonight selling Girl Scout Cookies! First thing I do is check the points :) Thin Mint 1pp, Lemonades 2pp! I had to have one of each :-/

So glad you tried the dip! I used some leftovers for a quesadilla! It was good that way, too!

I didn't realize that FlatOuts are only 2PP! I'll have to pick those up next time!
