The Skinny on Saturday:)

This past Saturday was my weekly weigh in. I wasn't sure how it was going to go because I only worked out 2 times because I was sick. I ate pretty normal but I did celebrate my brother's fabulous birthday dinner with a night at B&J's pizza which took all of my weekly points BUT so worth it!  I stepped on the scale and closed my eyes, stepped on the scale and lost:

. 6 pounds!

I am very happy with that considering how my above mentioned week.  The pounds are slowly coming off and I am back on the work out routine! Have a great week!

It is a Skinny Saturday indeed!

Today was a great day at the Weigh In. I wasn't sure how much I was going to loose (if any).  Since i had such a big loss last week I was exactly how it would go.  All I was hoping for was just .5 pounds...1/2 of a pound.  I picked my mom up which was nice since had not gone together in a couple of weeks.  I stepped on the scale and closed my eyes...and then the lady made my day...she said: "You have lost....

1.6 pounds!!!

This was AMAZING NEWS as it brings me one step closer to loosing to my long term goal.  As of today I have lost:

20.8 pounds 

and I feel great and (my husband says I look pretty good too:)

To treat myself I bought a cute new bathing suit top and my awesome mom bought me a cover up:) Its off to get some sun (if the darn thing would come out and stay out!)  This is a great way to start my Saturday and enjoy my weekend!

Queen of the Castle Sliders and Sweet Potato Fries

Who doesn't love sliders! This fat girl does! But one thing that I don't like is the amount of fat and carbs they are loaded with. This was another fabulous recipe that I found on HungryGirl.com! Here are the details:

Ingredients

4 oz. raw extra-lean ground beef

2 slices of Italian bread

1/3 cup chopped onion

4 hamburger dill pickle chips

1/8 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. onion powder

1/8 tsp. garlic powder

1/8 tsp. black pepper

Optional condiments: ketchup and mustard

Instructions

Combine beef and seasonings in a small bowl, and knead mixture by hand until integrated. Divide seasoned beef evenly into four balls. Flatten and form each ball into a square patty on a plate. Using a knife, make four small slits on the top of each patty. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes.

Bring a pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Spread onion out on the pan. Place the patties on top of the onion, slit-side down, and cover the pan. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes (no flipping necessary), or until cooked through.

Meanwhile, cut each slice of bread into four squares, for a total of eight pieces. (If you like, slightly toast bread first.) Feel free to spread ketchup and/or mustard onto four pieces. Set aside.

Once patties are cooked through, scoop each one along with the onion beneath it onto one piece of bread. Top each with a pickle chip and then another bread piece (or the other way around, if you want to be fancy!). Let cool slightly, and then slide 'em into your mouth!

9 PP for sliders

4 PP for sweet potato fries

Total: 13 PP for an awesome dinner!

Skinny Saturday

Happy Skinny Saturday to each of you. I am about to get ready for m y weekly weigh in And I hope to see some great numbers! However, if nothing changes or even if I gained I know I tried my hardest and that's what counts. I even noticed that my cute husband is even loosing some weight which it's safe to say he is eating healthy as I am just double the portions! I wish my body worked like that!

Here's to loosing some weight and just maybe I will treat myself to a new bathing suit since it is the opening day of pool season!
