Happy with that!

It’s weigh in day – I didn’t lose, but I didn’t gain either :-) I’m happy with that! I haven’t exercised all week  and last night I had way too many snacks, but the fact I didn’t gain any is enough to keep me smiling.

Last week I put up my treadmill in the guest room to make room for my craft table! I got lazy and didn’t even do any workout dvd’s! I DID find the dvd that goes with my stability ball (not that you knew I was looking for it, but I was) so this week I think I will use my Reebok bench and the ball and work on ‘toning up’ some.

On to some food. . . . have your tried these?  Tofu noodles! I’ve wanted to try them ever since I saw the Hungry Girl episode where she made cheesy alfredo and used these instead of the fettucine pasta!

I finally found them in that new Natural Grocers store. One word - ‘Blech’!!! Oh my goodness, it probably doesn’t help that I don’t like tofu, but for some reason I just thought these might taste like fettucine but not have all the calories in . . .  WRONG! It wasn’t so much the taste, but the texture. The only way I can describe it is, ‘gelatinous’. So weird, urghhh, I tried a few fork fulls, but it just got worse, I nearly gagged by the third try – so off in to the trash they went. Oh well!

   

Breakfast is my fav meal of the day now. Last week I tried a ‘skinny’ omelet. This was just 1 egg plus 1 eggwhite, I added a piece of laughing cow cheese (it’s like Dairylee Nenna) cut up and a few green onions, then flipped the omelet over. Really nice and tasty, very cheesy ;) served with 2 slices of Sara Lee light wholewheat bread – total 5pp

Confession – I don’t like Chobani yogurts!! This is the second time I’ve tried a fruit one. I prefer just plain greek yogurt, my fav brand is Stoneyfield ‘Oikos’ Apparently they have some that have chocolate on the bottom or caramel, but I have yet to find these in the store.  I don’t mind the Chobani plain greek yogurt, but these fruit ones…. they are 5pp per pot!!  I’d rather have my fresh fruit on the side! That’s just too many points in a yogurt for my liking. I couldn’t even eat all of this one. It was pomegranate and the seeds were very hard!

This is one of my favorite breakfasts, I had it this morning (not this plate but one similar) 2 Kellogs low fat wholewheat waffles (2pp each) and a tblsp of Better N Butter PB, (1pp) and fruit on the side. This morning I had a banana and 1/2 cup worth of blackberries and raspberries – it was perfect!

Last week I made Chicken Parmesan from the Eating for Life cookbook. A 4oz chicken breast, breadcrumbs, marinara sauce and low fat cheese (total 6pp), served with salad greens AND (a new find this week) Green Giant green beans w/almonds. This box is WW endorsed, only 1pp per serving (3 servings in a box, which I just halved for me and hubby). I really liked these, better than just plain frozen green beans. I bought more boxes when I went back to the store and had them again later in the week with another meal!

 

And finally, Gina’s Asian grilled chicken (leftovers) ended up on a salad for my lunch. Very Yummy (total 5pp, inc. lite dressing)
