Wednesday Weigh In

January 05, 2011

My friend and I have been doing weekly weigh ins on Wednesdays for a while, but got off track the last few months. We started again this week. I had weighed myself on Sunday, and since then have lost 4 lbs (mostly water weight I'm sure), but still feels good!!! :) Jarrod has decided to start in on the weekly weigh in as well, and lost 7 lbs! I didn't go to the gym today because I had to get to work early for a meeting. I had planned to at least do some Wii Fit tonight, but I didn't... So I BETTER get up in the morning to go to the gym! Everyone reading this should hold me accountable ;). Last night for dinner, we had shredded beef taco salad made with the leftover beef roast I had made in the crock pot the night before. So good! I put shredded iceburg lettuce, tomato, sweet corn, black beans, avocado, cheddar cheese, shredded beef that I reheated in taco seasoning and water, and some crushed tortilla chips. Dressing was the...

Shaws Adventures

January 13, 2011

So tonight I head to Shaws for the last day of this week's sale. Or so I thought. Last Saturday I got a great deal on Jennie-O ground turkey and stocked up. Grant it, I still have 2 in my freezer, but I knew that I was going to need a bunch for this weekend. I'm making the Cincinnati Chili (without the spaghetti) for Sunday's Woodbury Christmas (Jarrod's mom's side of the family) and Football later that afternoon. I get to Shaws and there's ONE package. The deal last Saturday was buy 1 get 1 free... so if I bought this last one, I didn't have any free. I was discouraged and left the meat aisle. I then wandered over to the organic frozen section, and was tempted to buy some vita tops. I haven't bought them before but Hungry Girl says they're amazing. I pulled them out, looked at the nutrition, was about to put them in my cart, scanned back at the price, and did a "whaaaaaat"(think Dispicable Me) and put them back in th...

Spring is here!

April 14, 2011

Despite the snowman picture above, Spring is here. That snowgirl melted quickly, thankfully! April is one of my favorite times of the year, because we can finally get outdoors and enjoy some fresh air after being stuck in the house all winter. We've been going for lots of walks! Leftover bananas in the freezer means banana muffins. I took a banana bread recipe and substituted the oil with applesauce (left about 1 tbsp of oil in the recipe) and also substitued the milk with almond milk and the sugar with splenda. Simple substitutions in your favorite recipe can make a low calorie, delicious subsitute. These muffins were only 107 calories each :). Jarrod's 30th Birthday was on April 7th. Jarrod wanted his favorite cake (yellow cake with peanut butter frosting) and I came up with a healthy version for his birthday. What I did was made the box cake mix (the sugar free kind) with diet cream soda. The cake was still very moist an...
