The Weight of My Weight

I was really in the mood for something warm and yummy and filling! I typically do 3 or 4 egg whites because it increases the protein in my meal and reduces the fat which helps to reduce the Points Plus Value. I believe one egg has 6 grams of protein, and one egg WHITE has 4 grams of protein. So if I chose 4 egg whites, which I typically do, that’s an awesome SIXTEEN grams of protein! But today I was really craving that yolk! So I whipped myself up a toasted light English muffin (3), made a WHOLE Egg (2) in the skillet and topped it with 1 T of bacon bits (1) and a slice of Kraft sharp cheddar 2% cheese (1). This was a delicious 7 PPV way to start off my Saturday. Now for a little housework! – Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

It’s rainy and cold outside today and I am really craving some warm, yummy goodness! This is what I came up with. I had some frozen black beans, corn and bell peppers. I had some reduced fat Colby jack cheese (Hello! Good on anything!) I had a can of fat free refried beans (I may regret all the beans later, I wasn’t thinking clearly), and I had whole wheat tortillas! These are all things I usually have on hand, but I hadn’t thrown them all together in a while. I’m so glad I did today. I made myself a really yummy 12 PPV quesadilla! It actually ended up being way too much food, so I just ate half, which works out well since it’s Friday and soon I will be headed out the door for HAPPY HOUR! – Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

I have always been a fan of breakfast in bed. My daughter is away at college now, but when she was young, my Mother’s Day annual gift was the paper in bed, my favorite bagel and cream cheese from Panera and my favorite latte from Starbuck’s, all brought to me on my favorite tray, a little 60’s thing I found at a Flea Market. Dang, sounds wonderful! Kinda wish I had that particular breakfast now. But what I have become accustomed to, and really do enjoy, is my 3 PPV Peanut Butter Banana Toast. Every once in a while, I will go ahead and make myself breakfast, put it all on my favorite tray, and crawl back in to bed, which I did today! – Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

Some of my toughest days are when I don’t have a lot going and I’m home for the day. I can keep myself going from room to room pretty good because I am constantly getting side tracked and end up doing a load of laundry when what I really went in the laundry room for in the first place was to get the toilet paper to stock the bathrooms. Then after throwing in a load of laundry, I realize we are low on detergent, so I go to the kitchen to add it to my list. I see the bananas are on the counter, so I eat one. That make’s me thirsty, so I have a nice big glass of ice water. I remember I need to unload the dishwasher, so I do. Now it hits me! I have to pee, during which I realize, THERE’S NO TOILET PAPER! Then […]

So I have discovered these great little chicken sausages everywhere now! I picked these up at Trader Joe’s. I think tonight’s flavor was Spinach Asiago? Toss them in a skillet for about 10 minutes, or throw them on the grill! Dip these babies in a little Dijon and you have a great little 3 PPV deliciousness that taste like it must be a whole DAYS worth of points! – Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

I like a LOT of food for as few points as possible. This is a great way to get in your morning protein and enjoy a plate full of great tasting food! I remember as a kid going to Hardee’s with my dad just about every Saturday morning for a Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit! I would dip each bite in a little bit of ketchup. I don’t even want to think about how many WW Points that might be! AAAAHHHHHHH! It does help explain how I became a Weight Watcher member though…… This is my recreation, and I love it! 1 toasted light English muffin (3 PPV)4 egg whites (1 PPV)1 slice light cheese (1PPV)1 T. bacon bits (1 PPV) I toast my English muffin. Then I put 1/2 cheese slice on each English muffin half. I cocked my egg whites in a small skillet with 1 T. Of […]

I found this tonight on Pinterest and it was DELISH! Check out the original recipe……but calculate your PPV if you make it like the original recipe says to. Oatmeal  Banana Peanut Butter Bar I did change up the recipe a bit to make these a little more point friendly. I substituted Splenda Brown Sugar and Better N Peanut Butter, which I have purchased at Target and at Trader Joes. This 4×4 square is 4 PPV after I made a few changes. – Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

Turkey Burger’s Ingredients 1 Pound Ground Turkey, 93% fat free, 1 egg Cavender’s Greek Seasoning. I LOVE this seasoning! (In this photo, I had added a little reduced fat feta cheese)   I like to cook these with a little cooking spray in a grill pan.   I like to assemble my burger, with a slice of cheese and pop it on a whole wheat bun and wrap it in foil while I finish up dinner. This makes the bun soft and just a bit steamed from the heat!       Baked Zucchini Fries The zucchini fries are a bit of a new find. Mix a little parmesan, some panko bread crumbs, cracked black pepper and a little garlic powder. Dip your zucchini in egg whites, then coat with cheese and bread mixture. Bake for 15 minutes at 425, then flip each one and continue to bake an additional […]

This is a great little snack after a workout! It’s my Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie. It’s a WW Smoothie packet with 1 C cold water, with 1/2 frozen banana, and 2 T. PB2 (This is a peanut butter powder usually found in the health food section of your local grocery store, or Whole Foods?) I walked the dogs, lifted weights at home, and hopped on the treadmil for 30 minutes. It’s been a great productive Monday, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the week!

I love a warm sandwich! This tasty little treat is super easy to make and as far as I’m concerned, Restaurant quality! (maybe a little exageration here) I love my light Italian Bread (2 slices, 2 PPV), and I use one serving of deli turkey, and 1 T. of Light Country Crock (1 PPV), 1 slice of cheese (1 PPV), and one wedge of laughing cow cheese (1 PPV). I LOVE the garlic and herb and used that today. My picture doesn’t really show the gooeyness of the cheese, but is was soooooo good. This was a 6 PPV Sandwich! Get those fruits and veggies in to help fill you up, and knowing you’re eating healthy, makes you feel GREAT! Treat yourself and take a few extra minutes to make your plate really look appetizing. If you would do it for company, then do it for yourself. It only takes […]
