Great Weekend!

Hi Guys! I really appreciated all of your support. This blog for me is a huge help to me! Everyone understands, you guys GET IT! :) I did end up going to Weight Watcher's on Friday and faced my trackless week. I was up 2 pounds. I moved on, hit re-start and had a great weekend! :)

I had some taco lentils frozen in lil baggies so I had a Mexican feast on Friday! OLE!
 I also put together our new barstools :)
 Had a couple of salads over the past few days- New dressing find! It was good, not as sweet- kinda  vinegary YUM! :)
 Nice stats!
 Lunch out on Sunday with Sean and I guessed for all of the points while we were out. We went to Olive Garden. First off,I think it's been 9 years since we have been there! Seriously! lol SO then I noticed that right on the menu they list the calories so it was EASY to pick my poison. But we both wanted the SECRET (off menu??) Soup, salad, and ENDLESS for some (but agreed that I would get ONE) breadstick deal. Why is this NOT on the menu?? lol I asked about if they still had that offer and on a Sunday and I thought I might be directed to the back room to met up with the Godfather in order to get this deal. lol

What is not a secret about it is how great of a Weight Watcher choice it is. Did ya know? I estimated while we were eating it and gave myself 5/5/5 Soup, salad, & breadstick. Coming home I see I over estimated BUT I did get the dressing on the side and only used a small amount of it. When I looked up points- they do not list the protein, so kinda estimated again but I think 10 PointsPlus would cover my lunch that I ate. Sorry I didn't take pics! :(

Dinner was NACHO NIGHT! Thank you Sean for putting up with my weighing and measuring and helping me calculate! :)  13 points of turkey nachos!


NACHOS!
1 BIG Serving! 13 PointsPlus

1.5 ounces Baked tortilla chips
3 ounces lean turkey meat-seasoned with taco seasoning
1/3 C WW mexican blend shredded cheese
1/4 avocado
lettuce
tomatoes
salsa
1 tablespoon light sour cream

  2. I love your bar stools!!

    I have a few new recipes this week - one is a spanish tomato soup with chorizo and shrimp that I have for lunch today - and later in the week I am making a pumpkin coconut soup - that sounds weird, but I think it will be good!

    Happy Monday!

  3. Good for you for weighing in! I would have skipped, but that darn scale makes me so mental right now!

    I haven't been to Olive Garden in years either. The soup, salad, and breadstick combo is definitely my food of choice there. Oh, and their seafood portofino! :)

    Have a good one!

  6. So happy to hear you had such a great weekend. Love the new barstools!

    I made some delicious Italian-style stuffed bell peppers last night with ground turkey, chicken Italian sausage, onions, garlic, zucchini, broccoli slaw, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Yum-O! And my kids devoured it, which is a huge plus since there were so many veggies in there. That was my new recipe for the week as I do my menu planning on Fridays and grocery shop on Saturdays.
