Banana Nut Butter Roll Up

  I thought these made a great Gluten Free Snack. I don’t eat “Gluten Free”, but sometimes I just like to buy different products and give them a try. These are simple and this particular brand of tortilla reminds me of a pastry. Ingredients 1 Brown Rice Tortilla (3 PointsPlus) 1 T. of your favorite Nut Butter (Most Nut Butter’s are 3 PointsPlus for 1 Tablespoon) 1 Banana Honey to drizzle Directions It’s self explanatory, but I’ll tell you what I did just for fun. Spread Nut Butter on Tortilla. Roll up banana in tortilla. Slice and drizzle with honey. This is approximately 6 PointsPlus, so you might want to share these with your children. They will love you….more than they already do. (I’m fairly certain these would taste good on any kind of tortilla. There are no rules.)   “love the life you live, live the life you love”

Just a Little Catching Up!

Since I indulged a bit over the weekend, I wanted to make sure yesterday was a great and healthy day. I ate 26 points. I went to Jazzercise after lunch, and I went to Yoga before dinner! I’m feeling pretty fantastic! Guess who got an award for attending 25 Yoga Classes? This girl. The Reward was a Chocolate Kiss. It made me giggle that I got a piece of candy as an award for exercising, but I think it’s dark chocolate, so I’m certain that it’s good for me. 🙂 Here are yesterday’s eats…. Breakfast – 6 PPV We have a produce stand down the road that had the best peaches last year, and I could hardly wait to get my hands on some of those this year! Yesterday was the day! I swear they are as sweet as candy. Peaches and Vanilla Creme Oatmeal and two Frothy Coffee’s   Lunch – […]

Weekend Fun, Friends and Food

I’ve had a busy and full weekend and I allowed little time for blogging. A couple of friends came over Friday for a small Happy Hour. Happy Hour started at 4:00 pm and ended at Midnight. Saturday I was very busy……sleeping in. My 8:00 am Yoga class did NOT happen. Saturday evening, Mike and I had a date night. We went out for Mexican food, and the only thing that I drank was water, and more water, and then some more water. Did I mention that Happy Hour lasted longer than an hour? After dinner, movies on the couch. Possibly my new favorite way to spend a Saturday night. Sunday was a date day with Mike that included Church, followed by a friendly debate between the two of us (we’re Catholic), a little clothes shopping, Lunch while watching the Royals game at our favorite neighborhood spot, Yoga class, then babysitting grand […]

Feeling Strong

My Weight Watcher week begins on Friday, and I’m feeling really good about this past week. My goals for the end of July and the month of August are…. Exercise Jazzercise three times a week (I’ve never gone more than once or twice a week) Yoga one time a week (I’ve never made a Yoga commitment….I just go when the mood strikes me). Walking three miles at least two times a week. Food – Only Allow myself to eat 10 of the 49 Extra Weekly Points. Drinks – Drink only ONE time per week.    I did make it to three Jazz classes, I went to Yoga two times, and I completed a 5K. So things were switched up a bit, but I got in 6 days of good exercise, which is the point of having my plan. I did eat half of my 49 points instead of only 10. I only […]
