One of my FaVoRiTe things...

SUSHI!!! but i rarely eat fish ones, usually vegetable =)

today i went with my mom to one of our favorite places for lunch. they have a great sushi special for lunch which is 2 rolls for $8.00 and it comes with soup and salad. now these rolls come with 8 pieces instead of 6, and i was not prepared for that. so it left me with less points for dinner tonight, but thats ok. i just have to deal. ( i could have easily ate only 6 pieces from each, but ahh the hell with it!)

i love getting a avocado roll and a sweet potato roll. 

so for 16 pieces of sushi, it was 11 points. the soup is 2 points, and the salad dressing is 2 points. 

if your a sushi lover, its worth it =) 

i just have to eat on the light side for dinner. 

but i do have to say, i did come home and do my PUNCH! work out because it was kind of chilly out today and my allergies were killing me. so i did a 30 min workout. 

EnJoY DiNnEr EvErYoNe ! =)

Good Morning...

good morning everyone!

this morning i made one of my favorite creations that had been given to me. im not sure if i have mentioned this, but my mom works for weight watchers. her and all of her friends are always coming up with different ideas and this is one of that that has stuck with me.

its called the Oatmeal Pancake!

its very simple, and only takes about 5 minutes to make, not even.

you need 1/3 cup of eggwhites (0 points), a packet of oatmeal (or in my case, Weight Watchers Oatmeal) (3 points), and a few sprays of cooking spray (no more than 5 sprays for 0 points).

you take the oatmeal and mix it in a bowl with the eggwhites..pour it into the pan and kind of even it out so its easy to flip. 

 this photo shows it after the first flip. i usually flip it a few times because i like both sides to be semi dark =)

once it is done, you top it off with a little sugar free syrup, and its ready to eat! 

This is Seriously one of the easiest and delicious things to make in the morning! 

this pancake is only 3 points! plus whatever the syrup is =) 

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!

here is the website to check it out. 

Props to Bethenny Frankel because she is hysterical and I love her show, personality, and everything about her. 

and the WiNnEr is ...

i just got back from applebees and i totally changed my mind on what i was going to have. since i have tried the chicken and the shrimp meals from WW, i decided to go for the steak meal. it was AMAZING! its called the cabernet mushroom sirloin. for 12 points, it was extremely filling and i am so satisfied with my decision.

after all of my walking today, i gained 6 activity points, which is pretty awesome =)

there are mushrooms and onions under the steak. it was so good! i highly recommend it =)

Walk walk WALK..

I woke up today feeling so motivated. I went out for a walk and i was not letting the wind stop me. I walked 5.52 miles today. Makes me feel so good.

This morning i tried a smartones breakfast meal with waffles and turkey sausage. It was very good.

And for lunch i made up a bacon and cheddar sandwich in these Amazing pita pockets with a side of blueberries.

Tonight im going to applebees with my boyfriend. The new WW meals are so good there, and ill be having the shrimp one for 8 pts plus.

I love being prepared!

its been a while...

hey everyone. i apologize for not writing in a while. i have been so busy and just have not had the time to get on here every day to write.

here is a little update..

last week i wasnt able to go weigh in because i was away for the weekend.
this week has been a little bad with my tracking, but i just have to deal with the results and move on to the next day.

i am ready to get back on track. the weather has been amazing, and i have not been able to enjoy it until today. took my dog for a walk earlier. it was more like he was walking me =)

again, im sorry about the lapse of posts.

POINT 2 AWAY!!!!!

this morning i went to weigh in, and i was literally . 2 away from my 25lbs!! this is insane LOL -- im ok with it because i could have gained and i would have been really mad if that happened. i didnt get to stay for my meeting because i had to be at work. but this week, i am being extremely strict with myself! i have no excuse not to make it next week, and continue weeks after that.

im keeping it short tonight, hope you all have a good night =) xo

trying new things...

i got creative with my lunch one day and made an arugula salad with strawberries, blueberries, cheese and dressing that has no carbs, sugar, etc... it was really really good! on the side, if u can see, there is some pita with hummus. and a snack from WW.

todays lunch below was a sandwich, sugar free jello, a WW bar, and fruit. as u can tell, i love my berries =)

 so when you hear the words brussel sprouts, what do you think of? before i ate them, i thought they were the most disgusting thing ever. just looking at them made me not want to eat them. expanding your horizons and trying new things is a great way to eat healthier. i never thought i would enjoy the brussel sprouts, but i really did. we made them with a little olive oil, and some garlic powder, and roasted them in the oven. these were on the side of a delicious hamsteak! my dinner tonight was definitely a filling one. (i didnt eat the corn--i was way too full) LOL !

im going to get creative tomorrow and come up with my own pasta & zucchini..lets see what happens!

goodnight everyone =)

been under the weather...

hey everyone,
sorry i havent wrote in a few days. i have been sick with this horrible cold and all i am doing is sleeping if i am not working. i did find time last night to fit in my work out which was good because i really needed it. i had chinese for dinner and i feel it in my hands this morning (all the salt).

so today i plan of drinking a LOT of water. of course ill work out later on again, because i am loving the feeling afterwards. it makes me feel good about myself.

ill keep ya posted. talk to you all later. xoxo

i work out...

so last night, i decided to do a work out that i have from weight watchers. it was 30 minutes of kick boxing with these weight gloves. its called "PUNCH!", and its available for members at all of the centers. 


all i have to say is my body was hurting today, and its not because i am not feeling good. i was feeling the work out as soon as i started. i really want to try and do it every night so i can get the hang of it. after 30 minutes, it moves on to 35 minutes and then 45 minutes. 


it felt really good to have done something for my body besides eating right. 


does anyone else do great work outs? i know people rave about zumba all the time..

up & DOWN..

hey everyone! so today i went for my weekly weigh in, and i was down 1/2 a pound. i know its good, but at the same time, im frustrated because i feel like im doing so well throughout the week and then when it comes down to the weigh in, im up and down with the same few pounds. i need something to spice it up a little bit, and i think i am going to force myself to work out for an hour each night. yes i am tired after work every day, but i gotta do something besides eating right, because its just not enough right now. i have to hit this 25lb mark and keep going! 


so after my weigh in, i passed the bagel place and was so tempted to go in and get a bagel, or even worse, an egg sandwich. but i said NO and stuck with my vitatop that was defrosting in my bag. 


i didnt have time to make lunch, so i had grabbed a quick lunch special from benihana. it really wasnt a lot of food, and it sure kept me full all day long. im really not looking for anything to eat for dinner right now. sundays are my cheat day since i have the whole week to be good =) 


hope everyone had a great weekend! stay tuned for more this week, and maybe more recipe ideas =) (im thinking of going and making one now )

the weekend is here...

i am 2 days away from my weigh in and i really hope i dont blow it this time. last night i went to trader joe's with my mom and i freakin LOVE that store! if i could buy one of everything, i would. we had a ball there last night. 


since today is friday during lent, i am not eating meat. for breakfast i ate a multigrain bagel from trader joe's which was 5 points. i just made my lunch for work, which was a salad with cucumbers, beets that are ready to eat (2 for 1 point), a cheese stick(2points), and 2tbsp of no calorie dressing for ZERO points. ill pack some fruit and a snack to go with it as well. 


looking forward to a great weekend, and hoping for a good weigh in! 

had a bad day..

yesterday was a really bad day and i found myself eating whatever i could get my hands on. it was not good, but i just have to deal with it now and move on. i started out having breakfast at home, and when i stopped for coffee at this AMAZING bagel store, i then craved a bagel. and of course i had one =( these are things i have to work ok. my self control gets crazy sometimes and i just need to say no to things i shouldnt have. 


i am hoping to come home tonight and make a good dinner. maybe ill stop at the store and make another recipe i have found. 


ill keep you posted. thanks again for reading =) send it along if you are enjoying and think others will.
