Shopping and Wii!

HELLO!
Today was shopping day- loot: I did not need much but I spent a lot! lol I guess all of the items I bought added up. I got some vanilla, and those small bags of cashews for Sean's lunches and that right there is 11 bucks worth! Good thing I had some pantry items at home already to create meals this week. For lunches this week for myself I decided to make Turkey Meatloaf Muffins. It's been a while since I made these and my normal recipe called for adding stuffing mix but I skipped that step today. This was simple-

1.25 pounds lean ground turkey
1 red bell pepper-diced
1 yellow onion-diced
handful of mushrooms-chopped up
1 egg white
1 cup shredded carrots
salt, pepper
shake or two of onion and garlic powder
a few splashes of worcestershire sauce

Mix throughly and make 12 meatballs. Add them to a cupcake pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. 2 per serving for 3 WW points. :) YUM! These freeze great too! I had mine today with some leftover brussle sprouts that we roasted yesterday.

Over the weekend I picked up the Wii Fit Plus game. I already loved the Wii fit so I wanted to see what new games this one included. It was nice when I loaded the disk it remembered me and all of my previous exercises. I guess I dont really need the 1st disk anymore huh? I was hoping it included more step classes. That is by far one of my favorite games on there. Remember that they sell a piece to make the Wii Fit higher so you get more of a workout!! It is made by Everlast and I got mine at Best Buy for $30. Yeah they get away with murder for a piece of plastic for 30 bucks! lol OH! Here it is: I bought it because I can really feel a difference in taking that step up a bit. Another cool thing about the Wii Fit Plus is that it can track your calories burned. Very cool feature since it can already tell you how much you weigh.
Here is a screen shot at the section that is NEW on Wii Fit Plus- Tried quite a few already, they are fun!

Also got the Wii Sports Resort game- Love it! Loaded with fun games. Oh and for the geek in me Super Mario for Wii is fun too- but only AFTER you play the others to get a workout! lol :)

Making something new for dinner tonight. Saw it in a magazine over the weekend and thought Id give it a shot. I will take pics and share with you soon! Weigh in tomorrow. I am positive I will see a gain. I had a great Holiday and ate what I wanted...but also skipped TONS of goodies so I am not really worried. Besides, I'm not derailed, I am more focused than ever!

Have a GREAT evening everyone! :) BYE!

OHH! I almost forgot! Look what I found today! Fiber One cottage cheese! 1/2 cup is ONE POINT! I am VERY excited can you tell?? I was eating this same snack as 2 points- not any more! Whoo hoo! Now I hope my grocery store continues to sell it! lol Snack-Cottage cheese 1/2 Cup, with cubed cucumber, and grape tomatoes. YUM!

  1. I need to get that doohickey to raise the board up. Otherwise, it feels like you're doing step aerobics on a carpet sample.

    The meatloaf muffins look good though.

  5. Ok, lots to say! :)

    I love your grocery pictures!
    I love Fiber One Cottage Cheese!
    I got Wii Fit Plus for Christmas, I already had the balance board and I think it makes the 1st disc obsolete as well. I like the Plus though, I really like the biking and the Rhythm Kung Fu, I also set up Chaser (the dog) a mii!
    I didn't know they had a riser for the board!! Good to know! :)

    Whew! :)

  6. Cool Fiber One Cottage cheese? I'm going to have to find this! I'm not big into cottage cheese, but if it has fiber I might be willing to try it again!

    I love the Wii Fit Plus! My Wii came with the Fit and I traded it in at Gamestop for the Wii Fit plus...I only got $2.75, but since the plus has everything that the fit does I didn't feel like I needed it. It is quite addictive!

  10. I have GOT to find that cottage cheese!!! I'm a HUGE addict to begin with and this'll make it all that easier to justify :) I'm also going to have to try adding mushrooms to my meatloaf muffins ... num num!

  11. I bought the Fiber One cottage cheese today too!

    It just makes me wonder...couldn't we just add some Metamucil or some other kind of fiber to regular cottage cheese and it would be the same thing? Isn't that what all these companies are doing? Seems like cheating if we were to do that, but not when Fiber One people do it. :)

  14. I am a big fan of cottage cheese, it goes so well with lots of different things. But I probably wouldn't have gone near it had I not decided to clean up my diet.

    My sis in law speaks very highly of the Wii Fit, I was tempted for a while (I get kind of obsessed with things and was looking in lots of places but it was sold out!!) but then realised I just don't have enough hours in the day as it is (though I do fritter away a fair bit of time on stupid things it must be said...)

  16. Thanks for the meatloaf idea. I'm always looking for recipes for stuff I can freeze.

    Enjoy your Wii Plus Fit! Keep us updated so I can decide whether I want to buy one or not.
