WEDNESDAY

Hello! I had lots to do today and I managed to get it all finished! I just had to get up to check outside I heard loud rain- but IT'S HAILING! OH JEEEZE! Weird weather we are having!! Tomorrow is suppose to be nice! lol

Breakfast before I went to the pool was a new idea. I had a couple of those sider burgers leftover so I cut up 3oz to add to some egg beaters w/ green onion. I took this pic, tasted it, then added a squirt of ketchup. It needed something! It was OK tasting, and a good way to use up the leftovers! :)

Lunch was needed FAST because I was in and out of the house today running errands. Chicken burger on a bagel thin w/ a side salad. Tried a new dressing-Pretty tasty!

Snack was an apple with these Yogi granola crisps. Jack sent these to me with my goodie box a while back and I have been searching for them. I would have NEVER guessed TARGET of all places had them! These are the blueberry flavor, the strawberry is what I tried before and I think they are the better of the two. The shelf was empty where the strawberry ones should have been- I gotta check back! :) YUM! Full of goodness- check it out!
1/2 cup serving size is only 2 WW points. :)

NEW RECIPE for dinner!!! I got the main idea from reading Oh She Glows- looks like she got the idea elsewhere...and I took out a few of the frozen & canned veggies for a fresh swap. So this is my version that I am sharing with you. :)

Just did a taste test and this is SO good! I need to hurry up and go eat dinner now!!! :) When I added this to the Weight Watchers recipe builder I got 4 points for 2 Cups, however the Calorie Count web site that I got the nutritional information from came out to be 5 points. For 2 cups of this I would gladly count it as 5! So hearty and good! Might eat a toasted whole wheat pita with mine too :) YUM!

Ok really I gotta go eat!!! Hope everyone had a good day! Thanks for all the nice comments from my last post! It is so important to do what you can and I hope everyone realizes a little is better than nothing when it comes to exercise. :)

Have a GREAT night!
:) BYE!
