Busy day today! I was so excited when Julie asked if I wanted to share Yoplait’s new Fiber One Yogurt! It’s the first yogurt to have 5 grams of fiber per serving! It’s available in four flavors – Strawberry, Vanilla, Peach and Key Lime Pie and is now readily available in the yogurt section of grocery stores nation-wide. But the best part is that the first 50 readers to click here will receive a free four pack and after that, will receive a coupon that will be directly mailed to you. Sweet!
Today is Weigh-In Wednesday – this challenge ends on October 17 – and so far I am going to donate 7 pounds of food to my local food pantry! I still have a couple days to go, so maybe I’ll make it 8? I still can’t “see” a difference, but someone I worked with today said “Biz is getting skinny!” Well, I give all the credit to this certain pair of pants that make my legs looks skinny (but not my gut! :D)
Now if any of you have been following along, you’ll note that my old scale was white, so why do I have a new scale?? You’ll just have to come back on Friday, because one of my lucky readers will win this $35 scale! I love it. It’s super skinny, weighs up to 400 pounds (I think our old scale could only go up to 250) and once you stand on it, it blinks that its taken the measurement and stays lit for 10 seconds (for easy photographing!). No more trying to take the picture with camera in hand! So fricken close to the 150’s too!!
Breakfast:
- 1/2 cup egg whites
- handful spinach
- chopped red pepper and jalapeno
- 1/2 ounce cheese
- 6 ounces of sliced oranges
While this seemed like a substantial breakfast, after I entered it into www.calorieking.com, my breakfast was just over 200 calories! I saved the cheese for the top!
The perfect bite!
So by 11:00, my stomach was growling! I had 1/4 cup of these:
I knew I had my crockpot pork bbq leftover and decided to make a North Carolina bbq sandwich. Now everyone in North Carolina and Virginia has their own take on pork bbq. While my quickie crockpot recipe isn’t true East North Carolina bbq sauce (typically made with vinegar and crushed red pepper) I decided to add the cole slaw to my sammie! Just 3 ounces of cole slaw mix stirred with 1 tsp. Annie’s Goddess dressing. I had my sandwich on an Arnold thin and had sliced peppers, cucumbers and 1/2 Fuji apple – it took me forever to eat this!
Dinner was a simple Taco Fiesta – my plate:
- 1 tostada
- 1 corn tortilla
- 2 ounces ground taco meat
- 1/4 cup fat free black refried beans
- sliced peppers and jalapenos
- 1/2 ounce cheese ends
- 1 ounce tortilla chips (not photographed – eaten at the table with more slices of jalapeno!)
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
It’s basically heaven on a plate! I could have Mexican food every single day of my life, and never get sick of it!! Is there an ethnic food you could live on for the rest of your life?
SPOILER ALERT! BIGGEST LOSER!
Oh my gosh, I teared up so much at last nights show! I was shouting at Dina to just JUMP – YOU CAN DO IT! I thought for sure with Rudy cheering her on she could conquer that fear!
But of course, the star of the show is Tracy. She just has the craziest facial expressions! How she decided to split everyone up is beyond me – but the thing I can’t stand the most is that she is such a fricken fake when she “cries!” I don’t see any tears Tracy! The fact that they went with Coach Mo’s wishes to be sent home is commendable, and will lead to more drama now that Tracy is still on the ranch.
But my favorite part was when Liz let Danny see the video of his family instead of her own! Water works!!
Alright – we have tons to watch on our DVR tonight – Hell’s Kitchen, Diners Drive-Ins and Dives AND Man v. Food! It’s BizTV! 😀

As for BL… I CAN’T BELIEVE TRACEY won the challenge AGAIN!!! That’s just crazy!
Most of all…. CONGRATS ON THE WEIGHT LOSS! You rock girl! Keep it up!! GO GO GO GO GO!!! 😀
-A
Who said that healthy food are boring? You sure have some that looks very yummie! Go for it!
An ethnic food? Hummus for sure. By the spoonful 🙂
Your scale looks so sleek! I love the color black!!
This omlete looks amazing – and you’re right – you did have the perfect bite there.
you’re doing great! so, so close to the 150s 🙂
Italian. I could eat Italian all day long. I might become as fat as a whale, though. lol.
BBQ pork with coleslaw! I’m drooling!
Congrats on your weightloss journey. I am stoked about your scaled giveaway coming up. The one I have at home is a bazillion years old and inaccurate.
Thanks for putting the spoiler alert…. i quickly skipped that part. Time to wash my face, make a cup of tea and watch TBL.
nice scale! i need to invest in a new one but all the ones i see are so expensive. mine is so inaccurate which kind of ruins the whole point, no?? you want to be able to see all those lovely pounds you are losing 🙂
I’m coming here to get all of my healthy food ideas. I need to keep my calories low and have protein with every meal but i need to also make it delicious, filling and most important nutritious. The apple turkey cheese melt i tried the other day was amazing, low cal and gave me the energy i’ve been missing. Thanks for taking so much time to share every detail and make it simple to duplicate.
How cool that you got a new scale – love the black!
The coleslaw with the bbq pork sounds like a great combo – I will have to remember this!
It looks like you weren’t able to imbed the Yoplait thing into your blog, either…now I don’t feel like such a failure, lol! Oh well, hopefully it works for everyone.
Watching Dina with the box jump really hit home, as that was the one workout that had me in tears because I just could not bring myself to do it. The mind over matter that it takes to get yourself on the box is so hard…I really hope she gets it, even if it’s just one time. I still have a horribly hard time with box jumps and wish I could get up the gumption to practice at home. My nemesis…
The Free Yoplait link doesn’t work for me in Firefox or IE!!!! It loads, but the Try it Free isn’t clickable!
Alisa from One Frugal Foodie and I were just talking about pulled pork w/ coleslaw! I need to make some!
And I’m w/ you – either Mexican or Chinese I could live off the rest of my life. Mmm!
Wow, thanks! That’s awesome.
Great eats today, so colorful. I take it you were happy with your weight on happy Wednesday? Congrats!
I’m about to watch HEll’s Kitchen right now, so excited.
Your scale looks awesome! My Hubby and I too agree with GeorgiaMist! We think the whole Tracey thing is rigged! No one is that “lucky”. I was so hopeing they were going to get rid of her. When Mo said you need to decide who you need more here a coach or a loser (I think that is what he said) I was thinking youve got that right! Pluse HELLO they need a COACH! Ugh this season with Tracey there is infuriating me!! Can you tell?
WHEEE! I don’t even have a scale at home… I have to run down and weigh in at my Doctor’s office! So…
Biggest Loser. I’m not just disappointed, I am disgusted. Honestly, I am beginning to think the show is rigged by the Producers.
Oh, those jalapenos look so yummy! I love to dice them up and add them to dry coleslaw, then add about 1/2 tsp. of jalapeno juice to 2 tbls. mayo for a spicy coleslaw.
🙁 When the app comes up – I clicked try it free and nada happens! Weird.
Food looks drool-worthy as usual. and I love that scale!
I am looking into it – thanks!
& congrats – the winner never claimed their applesauce, so you were next on the list! email me your address to ehowardcrowley[at]plymouth.edu 🙂
