Skinny Saturday on the Scale!

This past Saturday, I got back into the routine of getting back on the scale after a week of eating out! EEK!! I wasn't sure how things were going to pan out but I put my big  medium girl patties on and headed out the WW meeting. I had some things to do before our big 1st wedding anniversary weekend could begin therefore I couldn't stay for the meeting. But that was OK because I lost:

1.2 pounds!!!!!  

I was so excited and happy but just hope that the eating out doesn't catch up to me (Side bar: I did make kinda good choices:) OH well...live and enjoy for today! Am I right!!  This brings my total loss to 28.4 pounds! I still can't believe but I am inching towards my goal!

AND I REALIZED THAT IN THE PAST 5 WEEKS, MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE ONLY EATEN THE SAME DINNER TWICE! I can't believe we have really eaten something different each night in 35 days! Why only 20 posts about the recipes....well I am a little behind and will slowly get back to point! Until then....

Smart Ones

I don't usually eat the frozen smart ones.  There are some that are really good and a great clutch when you need something delicious and fast.  I recently found one that I absolutely love! They are the Smart One's mini cheeseburgers! It is great to get that hamburger fix and a great lunch when coupled with the new WW Popped BBQ chips!   The entire meal is only 12 PP. Next time you are in the grocery store

2 mini hamburgers and WW popped BBQ chips: 12 PP

Day 19: Crispy Nacho Chicken

I love love love easy to cook meals on Thursdays! It encourages me to cook dinner instead of going out to eat since isn't going to be hard since i planned ahead! As I have mentioned before, Hungry Girl has a section of the book dedicated to the "trios".  When I am making my list for the week I tend to plan these meals towards the end of the week:)   I made this "nacho chicken" and it was surprisingly easy and combines some our Mexican food favorites: chips and salsa! Here is the skinny:

Ingredients
5 oz chicken breast

1/4 cup of salsa

8 baked tortilla chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Place the tortilla chips in ziplock bags and smash into little pieces

Take salsa and pour on top of chicken

Put the tortilla chips on top of the salsa and use a spoon to press the tortilla chips into the chicken

Bake in Oven for about 25-30 minutes and Enjoy! OLE!

1 Nacho Chicken: 7 PP

PLaying Catch up

I haven't written too much in about a week and I am sorry!! I need to find a better way of uploading pictures on the actual blog site so any suggestions would be fabulous!!!??!?!? 

I have not fallen off the train as I am still on the the WW wagon of success! ( I have not weighed in about a week due to having to work this Saturday.) I am a tad worried about weighing in this week but I do feel like my clothes are getting a little looser! We will see. I have been eating out a little more but making wise choices.  I read in a article by Hungry Girl and she stated that she eats well 80% of the time and 20% of the time she gives herself a break.  I would say that I have become about 90%-10%...which isn't too bad but before I was doing about 97% good and 3% bad...and that was a for sure success. I am not done loosing weight. I calculated that have about 23 pounds to get to my goal weight.  I haven't been that weight since high school, IF I even weight it in High School.  

Please bear with me as I am going to begin putting the yummy and fabulous recipes that I have been cooking the past couple of weeks.
