I knew that the temps were going to be decent yesterday, so I decided to forego my morning workout and sleep in a bit. With the thunderstorms and rain, it washed away most of the snow on our drive – love it because I hate how icky days old snow looks, just dirty.
Last time I was at the grocery store I found these buffalo chicken sausages on the sale rack – not sure what they normally sell for, but my package was only $1.99.
Hello spicy! And the stats? 3 WW points each!

I ended up making a buffalo chicken sausage hash with the sausage, 3 oz. potato, 1/2 cup egg whites and baby spinach. Who doesn’t like to start out the day with a spicy mouth?! š Breakfast comes in at 7 points.
The reason I need to be a morning exerciser is because while it was 45 degrees when I left the house, by the time lunch had rolled around, it had dropped almost 20 degrees and was snowing/raining sideways. So no lunch workout for me. š
Lunch was leftover beef and bean salsa soup that I had frozen – 8 WW points.
So since I didn’t work out I made doctor appointments – three of Tony’s doctors wanted to follow up with him within a week of getting out of the hospital. Two of them only have office hours near our house one day a week, so I did those first. One nurse said “the earliest I can get you in is January 31st.” I said “wow, you don’t have anything open before then?”
I looked at my calendar and realized January 31st is a week from today! I can’t believe how fast this month has gone by already!
Tony picked up all his prescriptions yesterday, he’ll be taking two oral antibiotics the next week. He’s still super tired, and he was a bit sore from walking after being sedentary for a week. He’s catching up on sleep too! š
I still haven’t gone to the grocery store, so I told Tony “I have stuff to make burgers, pasta, chicken. . .” He stopped me at burgers, but then I had no hamburger buns, only bread, so he had a patty melt.
I decided to have an Italian burger over zucchini. I sauteed some zucchini in 1 tsp. olive oil (1), then cooked a 4 ounce 93% lean burger (4), topped it with 3/4 ounce slice of provolone cheese (2) and put some of my pasta sauce overtop (2) – a delicious 9 WW point dinner.
When I was downloading my pictures I realized something. The chili I had eaten about 5 times at the hospital? It was 9 points a serving based on their nutrition label. What I didn’t realize was that the serving size was 8 ounces.
Um, guess what the soup cups were next to the soups and chili?
16 ounces!! So what I thought was an 11 points cup of chili with the cheese and sour cream was more likely 20 points. Isn’t that crazy?! When I entered “16 ounces chili with beans” into WW eTools, I got a range between 14 points and 29 points, so I think 20 points seems right in the middle. š
I am off to do my morning abs on Exercise TV, while Hannah is making us breakfast pizza. Make it a great day!
I love your dinner pic! The zucchini is so pretty with the red sauce.
I hate when the servings are misleading. Like when you get a small bag of pretzels only to discover that one bag is 2.5 servings. Who in the world stops with 1.5 of the bag to go?!
Holy Cow! 20 pts for chili?!? That’s crazy! I love the buffalo chicken sausage…never seen at my grocery store, have to look for it.
Those sausages look amazing! I need to be a morning workout person, and it just isn’t happening ….. š
I’m going to put spinach in my egg beaters tomorrow for the first time. I have spinach that I don’t know what to do with, I’ve never been a huge spinach fan but I think I’ll like it in eggs. Too bad on the chili!! Chili is awesome but it’s deceptively high calorie.
Add some cheese and you are in business Debbi! Let me know if you like it!
i’m so glad tony is home and doing better! here’s to a quick recovery!
it’s so weird to me that it’s warmer in the morning than the afternoon, we’ve had that here too. i’m an am exerciser too. anytime i think that i’ll just work out in the evening, it NEVER happens.
i have GOT to get my hands on that sausage…that sounded kind of dirty, haha!
Hey, even at 16 oz you still lost weight! So I wouldn’t worry so much. And the chili DOES look good.
Glad Tony is home safe and sound. I laughed about you saying “Don’t you have anything sooner?” That IS soon for a doctor, but I, too, can’t believe it is almost February. Wow.
I think they sell that sausage brand around here, it is definitely something I want to try!
I’ve made those big mistakes on figuring WW points because I misread a serving. Sounds like things are getting better at your house and your husband is improving. That is great! š
I hate that portion thing. Like for restaurant menus online when a salad has stats, but then the serving size says 2! WTF is up with that?
The other thing I hate is when Cooking Light has a cake recipe for example, and then I look at the portion and its 1/16th of the cake – really?!
Lately I have really been enjoying the whole spicy mouth phenomenon… I’ve been putting jalapenos or hot sauce on everything! š
Jala! (that’s jalapeno instead of holla!) š
Must…find….buffalo chicken sausage!!! That breakfast is right up my alley – perfectly hearty! YUM!
And whoa – that sucks about the chili. Oh well, moving on, right?!
YUMMY dinner – love zucchini! I see you managed to sprinkle lots of red pepper flakes to spice it up! š
So glad Tony is home & able to catch up on some sleep. His body needs to repair. Praying for a speedy recovery!
