Wednesday Leftovers

Today is my Friday-eve. I'm off on real Friday this week so yeah...

Breakfast: Egg Beaters and Cheese. (PP: 2). I'm not sure why sometimes my 2 tablespoons of cheese tracks as one point and sometimes it's zero. I'm going to try and make sure I track it on the higher side just to be safe. 

Snack: Banana, Peanut Butter, and a Skinny Hazelnut Latte. (PP: 7)

Lunch: My same fav taco salad and cantaloupe. (PP: 6)

My afternoon snack was strawberries, but I was suuuper busy so I forgot to snap a picture. (PP: 0)

Dinner: Falafel, Pita, Hummus, Tzatziki, Carrots, Tomatoes, Broccoli. (PP: 12)

Dessert: Dove Miniature and Emerald Chocolate & Peanut Butter Nuts. These nuts are so addictive; it's cocoa roasted almonds and peanuts and walnuts coated in the peanut butter powder. Seriously good. (PP: 6)

Lunch: Salad with Vegetarian Taco Filling, Black Beans, Guacamole, and Light Sour Cream. Also Cantaloupe and a Godiva Chocolate Gem. (PP: 7)

Snack: Voskos Fate Free Greek Yogurt. This one is Fig flavored and I absolutely adore it. Seriously try it. Also I had strawberries, but I ate them to fast to snap a picture. 

Dinner: Sesame Ginger Lettuce Wraps and Mango Cabbage Slaw. Oh my goodness these were so fast and easy. They were so so good, I have been wanting lettuce wraps for a while and these definitely hit the spot. Check out the recipes here and here. The only change I might mkake is to sub beef for chicken in the wraps, but only because it's kind of high in points for a week night meal. (PP: 18)

Day 3: First Monday

This is the first week day since I have started this project. I got a few odd looks when I whipped out my Iphone to take a picture of my salad at lunch, but once I explained what I was doing everyone was totally supportive.

Breakfast: Egg Beaters with Fat Free Cheddar. (PP: 1). I mentioned yesterday that this is one of my go-to breakfasts and today was no exception. I was running super late today, because it doesn't seem to matter when I always need another ten minutes. So this is actually yesterday's picture pf the same meal.

Morning Snack: Banana and Peanut Butter. (PP: 4). I love this combination, it's pretty much my all time favorite. If you're looking for something super indulgent check out Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter and Banana Greek Yogurt. Seriously. Do it. 

Lunch: Taco Salad- Lettuce, Tomatoes, Broccoli Slaw Mix, Black Beans, Vegetarian Taco Filling, Guacamole, Light Sour Cream. Unpictured: Cantaloupe. I pretty much always have salad for lunch. The base is always a lettuce blend, small tomatoes, and broccoli slaw mix. My favorite lately has been this vegetarian taco salad, it's so filling and super tasty. (PP: 6)

Snack: Carrots and Greek Yogurt. I forgot to snap a picture of the yogurt. It was strawberry Voskos. (PP: 3)

Dinner: Falafel, Pita, Broccoli, Tomatoes, Carrots, Hummus, and Tzatziki. (PP: 12). 

Snack: Quaker Quakes and Weight Watchers Ice Cream Bar. (PP: 8)

Day 2: April 29

Breakfast: Egg Beaters, Fat Free Cheddar (PP: 2). This is my go to breakfast; 1/2 cup of egg beaters and 2 tablespoons of Fat Free Cheese. I microwave just the eggs for one minute, then scramble, add cheese, and cook for another minute and thirty seconds. I usually let is cool a little while I pack my lunch and scarf it down as I run out the door. 

Snack: Banana and Peanut Butter (PP:4)

Lunch: Oscar Meyer Turkey, Quaker Tomato Basil Quakes, Broccoli and Tzatziki. (PP:8).

Dinner: Southwest Stuffed Sweet Potatoes. (PP:10). These are similar to a twice baked potato. They're filled with corn, black beans, and spices. Honestly, it was a recipe I found online and it isn't that good. Definitely won't be making the regular rotation.

Snack: Fat Free Popcorn (PP:3)

Unpictured: Weight Watchers Cookie dough Sundae (PP:4)

Start of Something New

If anyone has traveled over here from Being Katie then you know I have been diligently pursuing weight loss and a healthier lifestyle; in 2011 I lost 58 pounds. I was very close to my goals at that point, I'm hoping to lose around 80 pounds total, but since January I have been struggling. I have had some medical difficulties and have back slid on meeting my weight loss goals.
I am recommitting to myself and my healthier lifestyle. There's a Weight Watchers saying "If you bite it, write it;" I'm going to turn that into a blog to help myself be more accountable. I'm going to do a daily photo blog of everything I eat. I'll share recipes and probably some stories. Hopefully this will help me get back on track to reach my goals.
