For breakfast, I wanted to eat the leftover baked tofu. Weird, right??!! I decided to make a tofu scramble using the leftover baked tofu chopped, 1 c. frozen shredded hash brown potatoes with onion and peppers, 1 egg white and 1 oz. Cabot's 75% Reduced Fat Cheddar. I doesn't look pretty, but it tasted great! A different 3 POINT breakfast...
For lunch, I had white bean bruschetta "crostini". I toasted an Arnold Sandwich Thin, topped it with 2 tbsp. white bean hummus and 1/2 c. tomato bruschetta. Hmmm... different and delicious! I also had 1 c. Tabatchnick Minestrone Soup and an apple for a filling 6 POINT lunch...
Now, here's where the not so good "different" comes in...I was really looking forward to dinner. I was going to have pizza on PIZZA NIGHT! I picked this up when I was grocery shopping the other day...
It sounded good and nutritious. The entire pizza was 7 POINTS and I planned on eating it all! Well, what a disappointment :( This wasn't really "pizza". It was a tortilla with some weensy toppings and a ton of overpowering spice (oregano, I think) disguised as a pizza. Now, it did say Ultra Thin on the box, but it still looked as if it would be more of a dough crust than just a stinkin tortilla! I cut it into quarters and had a side of carrots. I took a few bites of the "pizza" and thought....ICK! I don't dislike much in the way of food, but I have to say in little daughter style, "eeewwww, that's gross". I choked down half and threw the rest away. Just not worth the 7 POINTS. I could've just had the regular pizza for that many points. Here was my plate before it hit the trash...
Sometimes "nutritious" isn't always good. This carried over into dessert. Yes, my precious dessert time has been tarnished with yuckiness! I attempted to make a "healthy" peanut butter cookie using PB2, whole wheat and other healthier ingredients. Most traditional peanut butter cookie recipes call for shortening, so I tried to omit that and substitute something else. The result was...
hmmm.....different. Not the traditional taste and texture of a peanut butter cookie like I was looking for. These came to 1 POINT each. I wouldn't make these again as is; they need more tweaking. These unsatisfactory eats lead to an after dinner munch session. Ugh, why does that always happen??!!!! Didn't I just say YESTERDAY that I lost 3.4 lbs.???!!! And I am close to the 150's??!!! And I am only 6 lbs. from my "Weight Watchers Goal"??!!! Yes, that is all true. Yes, I slipped into self-sabotage mode. Yes, I am a swinger. Not THAT kind; ) The" scale "kind - up and down or back and forth, however you want to look at it :) But, what's done is done, so I have to pick up and move on from it. I know I can do this! Tomorrow is another day :)
Off to have some cuddle time with little daughter. Have a great night, everyone!!!
