Usually on Tuesday nights we head to my dad's house. But tonight, Simon had a date with Mr. Dentist. So, I made some Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas from Cooking Light:
and they were amazing. And we have mad leftovers. It's a win-win! The recipe made 8 servings, and we ate ours with a small side salad topped with salsa & crushed Tostitos. Delish.
I only ask, because we ate burgers for dinner & it felt like summer. The smell such a dinner generates is drool inspiring.
While it may not look beautiful, this was my tasty burger creation, alongside some amazing french fries baked in the oven. The burgers were "grilled" on the stovetop in our grill pan by chef extraordinaire Simon.
For work, I took the usual snacks:
If you have never eaten a Larabar, pick one up & look at the ingredients. It's like... three things. :) I just saw a recipe for homemade ones on a blog that I need to get in my life ASAP.
For lunch today, I had something I never tried before:
This is an Amy's Cheese Enchilada with Beans & Corn frozen meal. It was amaaaaazing good. It tasted like actual food. I was in love. :) I paired it with a side salad
Which was also good.
Tomorrow is weigh-in... I don't think it will be great. But I'm going to keep my fingers crossed anyway and have a better week, starting tomorrow! I will wallk with Leslie, go "real" grocery shopping instead of just buying snacks at TJ's, and buy lots & lots of FRUIT and VEGETABLES. I can't tell you how excited I am for summer & awesome produce again. See you later!
is what I ate this evening, pretty much. Chocolate, a piece of cheese, popcorn, clementines, chips... I'm well within my weekly points & still on plan and tracking. But I blame my snack attack on this:
Kind-of-fail dinner.
This was out of the Weight Watchers in 20 Minutes cookbook, which we have had a lot of success with thus far. It was a recipe for Chicken Stir Fry with Cellophane Noodles, and it was no bueno. The chicken & veggies on top were great, but the noodles?
:/
We may have cooked them incorrectly, but Simon followed the directions in the recipe, which differed from the package. At any rate, the noodles were so hard to eat I gave up halfway through my portion. Lesson learned? When you are trying out a bunch of new recipes, you win some & you lose some. Today was a tough loss.
Oh well, tomorrow we are having pot roast - hard to screw that up. :) Hasta manana!
The only problem with ordering pizza is the leftovers. Not that it's a real problem...
Already gone, and very tasty.
At my weigh-in this morning (I weigh in at home), I was down 0.4 pounds. Now, that is not a very big number. But if I lose that much a week for a year, I would be down 20 pounds. And I would rather be down 20 than up 20 because I got depressed & quit WW after a small loss. :) Besides, I definitely think the extra salt from the pizza & popcorn last night came into play re: the weigh-in and that I'll do a lot better next week. I already did three miles with Leslie this morning!
This is what it looks like outside this morning:
That is my car!
So I am really not looking forward to heading into work. But here are my work snacks:
And the main event: It's the Turkey on Whole Wheat with Muenster, mustard & arugula that I had earlier this week, along with PopChips. No leftovers = boring lunches!
