HI

Not much going on today...I am sitting down to make my meal planning and shopping list for the week and I uploaded a few pics from today and last night. So dinner last night was leftover stuff- I made a pita pizza and I did not have any mozzarella cheese so I use a mini babybel light. Worked great and melted so nicely! Also ate a side of steamed broccoli w/ fresh lemon juice.
For snack yesterday I had a small bit of yogurt remaining in this HUGE tub of FAGE 0% so I cut up a small mango and tossed it in- YUM! It was such a good snack and the mango was perfectly ripe!

Today I went over to visit with my Mom. We did a little shopping then went out to lunch-Chinese. We split sizzling rice soup and got some pot stickers. Then came back to my parents house and made some turkey meatloaf muffins for my Dad's lunches. They freeze nicely and make a great to go meal. Oh and my Dad loves them! :) Speaking of my Dad, he has lost a few pounds and I am so proud of him! I am not sure of his "official" numbers- but I think he is down about 30 pounds! My Mom told me that he put on a sports coat the other day and it was HUGE on him. :) WTG DAD! XOXO (See ya Tuesday!!)



Meatloaf Muffins
Makes 12 muffins

1 package lean ground turkey

For dinner we had turkey taco salads-brought my own baked chips (2 for 1 WW point Mission extra thin corn tortillas)

Dessert was a mixed fruit bowl- YUM!

Sitting down now to have some tea and add to my shopping list. I hope everyone is having a great weekend! :) Today was 78 degrees and tomorrow is supposed to be a lil warmer even! Then we get a couple of RAIN days BOO! :( Oh well....I plan on enjoying the sunshine while we have it! :)

BYE! Pin It
