Weigh In Monday (not good)

It’s time to face the music people!  Those extra handfuls of Chex Mix, nachos and pizza, not to mention the wine have caught up with me!  I can’t help but think if I had just done 45 minutes of exercise each day, I could have offset some of the extra things I ate!  While I am disappointed in myself, there is no looking back, only forward! 😀

Yesterday I didn’t get up until 10:30, so Tony made me a late breakfast:

Joe came over to watch football and Tony made the best pasta sauce!  While I wasn’t hungry when the boys ate lunch, about 2:30 I was really hungry, so I tried a new pasta I found at the store – only $1 a box!

I was confused though, because the serving size said 2 ounces (which was 1/7 of the box) , so I weighed out 2 ounces.  However, in the cooking directions, it said for once serving use 1/4 of the box?  I stuck with the 2 ounces dry, and it really didn’t seem like that much after I cooked it!  Maybe two ounces cooked? Either way – the 2 ounce dry was only 170 calories and 6 grams of fiber! 😀

I had tons of leftover turkey breast, and when I googled “leftover turkey” I came up with a Hot Brown Sandwich.  Have you ever heard of that?   It’s basically an open face turkey sandwich with cheese sauce and bacon.  Below is my version.  I used reduced fat cheddar cheese and skim milk for my sauce – I may have had about 1/2 cup between my sammie and broccoli.  Yes, everything tastes better with cheese! 😀

Then made my plate – 2 ounces of bread, 2 ounces turkey, 1 cup broccoli, 1/2 cup cheese and two slices of center cut bacon:

So I’ve decided that I am going to take it one day at a time.  Goals for today?

• 45 minutes of exercise
• 80 ounces of water
• no wine with dinner!  (that doesn’t mean I can’t have wine before bed though – kidding!) 😀

Thanks for everyone’s comments on my last post – with your continued support I know I can do this!  Happy Monday! 😀
