WAAASSSSSSUUUUUUUPPPPPPP!!!!!! (Yep, I just referenced that.)
Another awesome day in the good ‘ol FL. We were shocked when we went to go swimming and the water was freezing! (Could have been we are just pansies.)
Breakfast: I just had a bowl of my new favorite Kashi cereal: Honey Sunshine. Such an awesome 5 points for just 1 1/2 cups of cereal and a cup of fat free milk. Legit.
Lunch: In keeping with my new brand loyalty to Amys Kitchen, I tried another one of their amazing meals: their Teriyaki Bowl. Now before you run to your local frozen food section, just a word of warning those protein chunks aren’t chicken, they are tofu. I was a little apprehensive to try it, I mean I’ve had tofu before but every time I’ve tried it, it’s always been different. This time however did not disappoint. The Teriyaki sauce had a little heat and it was just amazing. The veggies were really good and the brown rice was nice and fluffy. I highly recommend it and if you are scared of tofu, just act like you are on Bizarre Foods. The bowl was only 5 points, my milk was 4 points and my orange for dessert was just 1 point. (Buy organic oranges! They are so juicy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Snack: So for a snack today I was in the mood for something more than a few carrots because although the bowl was good, I was hungry around 2:00. I decided to try to make healthy nachos (relatively.) I used 3 tablespoons of WW Mexican style cheese and one serving of regular tortilla chips (9 chips.) I just threw it in the microwave (I should have kept them in there for a little while longer but oh well) and since the cheese is made of 2% milk they weren’t that greasy so it was a good 4 point snack for if you just need to feel like you’re not on a diet for a while.
Dinner: Tonight we had Monterrey Jack Turkey Burgers with Oven Baked Fries. We make the fries every time we make burgers but the Turkey burgers was a first. Oh, did I mention they had BACON on them! They were awesome I mixed in cheese, shallots, and some other stuff that I will post if this recipe sounds good to you. They only took 8 minutes on each side. The recipe calls for hamburger buns but instead we put our burgers on whole wheat bread just because we have it around. The burgers (bacon and all) were only 6 points and the fries were 3 points. Such a legit 9 point dinner!
Dessert: After church tonight my sweet tooth was going nuts so we ran to Wal-Mart and we grabbed a few low point treats. My favorite ice cream is peanut butter cup and Smart Ones have these single serving sundaes that are only 3 points. They’re not huge but it’s not bad if you just use a small spoon. It hit the spot.
Overall today I totaled out at 32 points. It was a delicious day. Tomorrow morning I’m going to play racquetball with some guys from my department so I’m pretty stoked to actually have fun while exercising. See ya tomorrow.
Oh my god. I want that ice cream thing right now. SmartOnes ice cream and pizza are two of my favorite foods. For real.
That dinner looks incredible.
It was amazing. I’ll have to post the recipe tomorrow.
Sounds like you had a great food day! I’m finishing up my week this morning and at the moment I still have a few flex left, amazingly. Would have had most of them still but caved in to the munchies bad yesterday before bed. 🙁
I’m not a tofu fan (I’m allergic to soy) but the Hawaiian-style rice bowls I get have I think 8 points per bowl. Not too bad considering its white rice and chicken. Quite a bit of chicken at that.
Desserts — Do yourself a favor and get some Weight Watchers Ice Cream Candy Bars. 3 points. SO SO GOOD.
I’ll have to! I don’t know why I’ve had such a sweet tooth this week but I’ve been pretty good about keeping it at bay… for now. Thanks for reading!
