I managed to squeak by with a loss this week of 0.6 pounds. While I’m glad for the loss, I’m not at all proud of myself this week. I really fell off on my tracking, I may have accidentally eaten Jackson’s Easter candy and I did not go walking. I KNOW I can do better. One thing I did do good this week was drink LOTS of water at work. I bought a big 1 liter bottle of water and put crystal light in it on Saturday thinking it would take me all day to drink it. Nope, it was gone by lunch. So, I bought another big bottle and drank that too. I did the same thing on Sunday. I was really proud of myself for drinking so much water. But, it stopped there. I went back to diet soda once at home.
Since I told you last week I would post recipes, here are a few of the things I made. I can’t vouch for the points value or that they were even the best choices, but they are what I made.
Sloppy Joes I served these on the sandwich thins bread instead of buns. I have made them a couple times, we really like them.
Fish tacos Holy Moly! These were so yummy! I made them with tilapia with yellow rice and black beans on the side. And ranch-salsa dressing on top. I think next time I will try to lighten it up a bit. It made way too much dressing/marinade. Even Jackson ate the fish, rice and beans.
Beach Street Lemon Chicken This was good, I made it without the parmesan on top. Jackson ate it, too.
We also had our usual whole wheat pasta and meat (ground turkey) sauce. I think this is Jackson’s favorite meal ever. The boy loves spaghetti. Jackson and I also like to have turkey hotdogs, baked chips and fruit for lunch.
My goals for this week are to get back to tracking, drink more water, and go for more walks. I know I can do it. By the way, me and one other girl are neck in neck for first place in our weight loss competition at work. I HAVE to beat her!
