Little daughter and I lounged around all morning. We finally got around to eating breakfast around 10:30. I went with a Weight Watchers Pita stuffed with 3 scrambled egg whites, a slice of 2 % cheese and a slice of center cut bacon. Yummy 3 POINTS....
After breakfast, I made sure to get in 30 minutes on the elliptical and a Level 3 Shred. Brutal, but necessary! Only 5 days left, Shredders!!!!
For lunch, I decided to try these chicken breast nuggets that I picked up at Target the other day...
These nuggets were okay. The nutritionals were impressive; a 4 piece serving is 120 cal., 2 gr. fat (0 g.sat/trans fat). What I liked about them were that they were actual pieces of chicken breast instead of the "chopped and formed" variety. The breading was crisp, however, I thought the flavor was a bit on the bland side. I also wondered if the nutritionals were accurate since the chicken pieces were different sizes. So, to be "exact", I weighed them and they came to more cals. in doing that. A serving is 4 pieces (84 gr.), but my 4 pieces came to more than that. I know it's just playing with a few calories, so I upped my count another POINT. Still, 6 nuggets for 5 POINTS isn't too bad! I think these might be good tossed in some buffalo wing sauce, so I'll try that next time. Today, I just ate them with a tbsp. Kraft Light Three Cheese Ranch, some carrots and a serving of Baked Cheddar and Sour Cream Lays. A fun 8 POINT lunch...
More lounging went on this afternoon, along with some munching. Alternating salty and sweet, sweet and salty. Ugh, TOM is a jerk! I cut it off though because deep inside, I really don't want to be doing this munching. I want to be ON PROGRAM, on a roll, keeping it going, headin to the finish line and all that. So, dinner was nice and healthy: sauteed thin-sliced chicken breast(4 0z.) topped with fresh, homemade salsa and a side of leftover roasted sweet potatoes. A great, "who needs chocolate" dinner for 8 POINTS...
Then, I made brownies. I know, I can't help myself! Thankfully, I had the No Pudge Fat Free Brownie Mix. A box makes 12 servings at 120 cal., 0 gr. fat and 1 gr. fiber which comes to 2 POINTS per brownie. That is, if you can eat PER. I tried to help myself in this area by making the brownies in a 12 cup muffin tin instead of a regular 8x8 pan cuz you KNOW more goes in the mouth during the "cutting" process! This worked out great; instant portion control! These brownies are very good, thick and fudgy. I was craving
Well, I'm a little bummed that I wasn't completely back on track today. Angie let me know that I made the biggest loser of the week for this past week and now I'm letting my team down this week with this craziness. I keep doing this volley thing where I follow through with my plan one week , then sabotage myself for the next week. Back and forth. I just want to get a few good weeks under my belt to drive me to my end goal! Frustrating, but I'm never giving up. I know I'll get there!!!!!
Don't think little daughter is ready to go back to school tomorrow, so I'll be homebound again. Where should I hide the brownies??????
