Summertime :)

Here are some tips to some lowfat outdoor fun: 1. Arnolds (seperate the top from the bottom so you have 2 pieces) In a bowl, mix a packet of either fat free or light cream cheese with a packet of Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix) Spread that on top of the arnolds . Cut each half into 4 slices and then top with a slice of cucumber and sprinkle on some dill... DELISH 2. A veggie tray with dip (I use breakstone's Fat Free Sour Cream and a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Dip) This is a great staple app to have things to pick on that are healthy 3.) Turkey Pepperoni and Reduced Fat Kraft Sharp Cheddar Cheese with Fiber Select Wheat Thin Crackers 4.) Crab Ball -mix Fat Free Cream Cheese and a can of jumbo lump crab meat then top with cocktail sauce Served with Fiber Select Wheat Thin Crackers 5.) Shrimp Cocktail 6.) Chicken and Veggie Skewers on the grill 7.) Salsa made with a can of mexican corn, a can of black beans (rinsed), 2 avocados, a diced plum tomato, 1/4 cup of salsa and garlic ...

Happy July!

Hi everyone! Just checking in to say hello! I can't believe that it's already July, my how time does fly :) Well I hope that everyone is having a great summer. I haven't really been on the computer since I am off so I haven't been keeping up with my posts. I will try to get on here more frequently to say hello and see how everyone is doing. Enjoy!

Week 19

Gained 2.4. I knew last week was too good to be true! LOL That's okay though, I haven't been eating my correct dosage of points and I only got one day in of exercising last week plus a few push-ups and crunches here or there..... Anyway here's to a new week!

Taco Ring...can't get enough... 1/8 = 7 points

Tonight's dish was a taco ring using the crescent rolls.... It's the new move (well actually it's a new/old move) ...so easy and delish! http://www.recipezaar.com/Taco-RingFrom-Pered-Chef-81160 I used 90/10 lean ground meat and drained it and rinsed it under hot water to remove the remaining grease and fat. I also used Sargento reduced 4 cheese mexican cheese. I topped with some fat free sour cream and a little bit of salsa! Yum! Enjoy!

Chicken and Broccolli Ring 1/8th ring 7 points

My friend found this awesome recipe and she made it and it looked so delish that I decided to make it too! I wanted to share it with all of you. She used light mayo, light cheese, reduced fat crescent rolls and skipped the almonds to cut down on calories and points. It turns out to make 16 pieces and 2 pieces is worth 7 points. Not bad at all! I also added onions to the recipe as well. I sauteed the chicken, peppers, garlic and onion(due to a good suggestion from my friend) beforehand then chopped it all up. It added lots of flavor! It was satisfying and filling and def. delish! I skipped the almonds as well. Here is the link! http://recipesbykim.blogspot.com/2008/11/chicken-and-broccoli-ring-pamperedchef.html Enjoy!! You can use crescent rolls to make alot of different dishes. You could make a taco ring with taco meat and cheese, or a cheesesteak ring using chipped steak and cheese or a chicken cheesesteak ring using ground chicken and cheese (even add some hot sauce to spice it up!) ...

Chunky Checking In...

K...so it's been a few days since I've said hello...so here I am :) I've been so busy with wrapping up the end of the school year that I haven't been able to check in...so I'm back... I haven't been doing a good job with writing down my food at all either! I feel like a hypocrite b/c I'm trying to help my Mom get into WW and my bf get back into it, but I've been a slacker! It's funny, once I hit the 140 mark I kind of let myself go a little bit. I def. eat better then I ever did though so I am content with that for the moment. It's funny to me when I crave yogurt... that just seems weird to me but I am happy with it...if that makes sense! I am going to try to get to 135 during the summer and also focus on exercising at least 3 times a week. I think that seems like reasonable goals. It's tough to eat healthy when I'm down the shore or even at home during the day. I give many props to stay at home Mom's...b/c there is no way I co...

No clue how...

I lost 5 pounds this week. I have no clue how. I almost fell over when the scale said 136.6. I actually re-weighed myself 3 times before I got in the shower and a 4th time when I got out of the shower and each time is said the same thing. So weird, I feel like I've been eating badly. Well not bad, but def. not strict. I think it has to do with being a girl and certain times of the month and all that jazz... but anyway here's to week 18 :) Oh a good luck note... I wanted to wish my bf best of luck on her WW journey that starts today! I know she will do great :) Yesterday: Eng Muffin spray butter 1 cake 6 salad 4 chicken pasta 5 salad 2 cocktails 14 Total: 32
