Month: January 2018

Simple post for my accountability and maybe you’ll see something you like? Breakfast – 5 SP Eggs are Zero SmartPoints and I love eggs, but every once in a while, I go with just the egg whites. One Egg has 6 grams of protein. One Egg White has 4 grams of protein. If I know I will be going several hours in between meals, then I try to get in extra protein. That’s what I did here. Cook 3 Egg Whites and Wrap in a warm Tortilla, two times.   These are really hearty and don’t fall apart. These are 2 SmartPoints each.   This also taste great with Cheese or Canadian bacon. I just went with egg whites and a little smashed Avocado (25 g)   That’s a Cara Cara Orange. They are SO sweet!   Lunch – 3 SP Tuna Salad (the only points are the Mayo) on a bed […]

It feels great to sit down and write a simple post about what I ate yesterday. I started tracking two weeks ago today. I’m going to go to my WW meeting next Friday. It has been too long since I have attended a meeting as a member. I’m anxious to work that back into my weekly routine. It was a snow/ice day yesterday, so I pretended like I still had kids in school and spent the entire day in my pj’s. Not really unlike many of my past several days. I’m still working on a Blog Post about 2017. It’s like this really depressing drama that I’m trying to turn into a dark sitcom. Or something like that. I’m trying to focus on all of the great things that happened, but lets be honest, 2017 brought a lot of shit with it and I’m sorting through it all. Let me just say […]

I’m happy to be back at Weight Watchering! (it’s a word.) A VERY sweet friend of mine (Thank you Niki!) organized a Meal Train for my surgery in August and for this most recent surgery. I so appreciate my friends singing up and bringing us meals. One less thing to worry about and so very kind! The Meal Train was organized through the month of January, but since I’ve felt pretty good these last two weeks, I decided to cancel the remainder of the Meal Train. I love that friends want to help, but I feel bad having someone bring us a meal when I now feel good enough to throw something simple together. That being said, I got back to tracking and making a few simple things in the kitchen. Basically, soup, tuna salad and any kind of breakfast food that you can think of that is easy. If […]

This steak soup really isn’t streak soup at all, but while playing in the kitchen one afternoon, I made this soup and it totally reminded me of a Steak Soup that I love at one of our locally owned restaurants. I used ground turkey and vegetable broth the day that I first made it, then I thickened it up a bit with a puree made from potatoes and broth. Mike and I both loved it but of course I was just playing around and I didn’t write anything down. Now I’ve played with this recipe a few times and I finally came up with a recipe that I could write down. Some friends came by for a visit on Saturday, and I had a pot of my soup on the stove. With the fireplace going and the crazy single digit temps we are having here in Kansas City, (and the fact […]
