I got to walk with Becky yesterday. We can walk and talk and get in some miles without even thinking about it. My pups needed a short walk after too in order for me to get in 6 miles yesterday.
Yesterday was pretty packed and I am feeling really caught up on things around the house. I even pulled all of the weeds from the landscape last night after dinner and I trimmed down all of the monkey grass! That makes your back feel great!! (not)
Yesterday morning I made a “to go” breakfast before walking out the door just before 7:00 a.m. Toast with a smashed Banana and Almond Butter. It was too messy to eat while I was driving and by the time I had reached my destination it just tasted gross. I ate a few bites before realizing it was truly disgusting and threw the rest away. Why did I think smashed banana would taste good on toast??
After working an early WW meeting as a receptionist, I went to First Watch and ate a delicious breakfast!
After breakfast, I went to what will hopefully be my second At Work Weight Watcher meeting. I actually knew a few of the ladies there from my personal meeting. I would love to be able to lead this meeting and I should know by the end of the day if enough members sign up!
I ran a few errands late in the afternoon and I found this at Target.
It was mostly fresh ingredients and I thought it might be a good thing to keep in the fridge for a quick meal to add some protein to. The container is one serving and is 11 SmartPoints. I took it home for Mike and I to share with our dinner. I only had 1/4 of it due to the points and I did like it, but 11 Smartpoints was high for a meal with no protein if you plan to eat the entire container, in my opinion. I’m sure the Smartpoints were high due to the dressing.
Right before I went into Target, I was talking to my daughter on the phone. We were talking about what we were having for dinner. I told her I had some hamburger and I wanted to grill out but had no idea what we were having.
When visiting her in Dallas one time, we went to a restaurant that served Burger Bowls. They were SO good! She reminded me of that, so Burger Bowls for dinner!
I believe the one we had in Dallas was a bowl of Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Greens, Burger, Bacon, Egg and Cheese?
I made His & Her Burger Bowls for dinner.
Yummmmm.
It was pretty delicious.
I topped His with Cheese, Mayo and Tomato. Mine had Tomato, Red Onion, Dill Pickles and Smashed Avocado.
That wraps up yesterday’s eats!

I thought it might be missing some additional condiments or dressing, but after chopping it all up, the tomato and avocado coated everything just right!

The burger bowl was yummy. The hubs loved his too. I like the Sandwich Thins, but I forget about them. I don’t eat much bread, but I do like the Light English Muffins and as I type that out, I think a burger would taste yummy on a toasted English Muffin! Ha!
I learned a long time ago that if I push half of something to the side of the plate at a restaurant, or put it on another plate or saucer at the table, it’s much easier for me to not eat it. Some days easier than others.
Ha ha. Right? I had seen someone eat that on Instagram and it sounded great. I think it just sat in the car too long. I might have to try it again, but on an English Muffin??
The dressing was in the container in a separate package. I could have likely only used half, but didn’t think of it at the time.
I did love the Burger Bowl!
I was so glad that my daughter reminded me of that! I’ll be eating a burger like that again soon!
🙂
Love the burger bowl idea. I started using Sandwich Thins when I eat burgers I make. I am not a real bread eater and don’t care for hamburger buns so these work out perfect. You were a trooper leaving 1/2 of the potatoes. I couldn’t have done it.
While I was reading about your banana almond butter toast I was thinking …yum!!! Sad to hear it wasn’t all it was cracked up to be!!!
Is the dressing already on those Nourish bowls??
I don’t usually like the dressings they put in those salad bags.
I like the idea of a hamburger bowl and I might try that this weekend.
The burger bowls are a great idea. I’m going try them.
