I woke up later than usual today, and I am feeling better than ever. My sister and her two children have the flu, so I spent yesterday running all over town trying to help them out as much as possible. I hate to see people sick, and when it's people I love, it really breaks my heart. My hubby and I are both taking Tamiflu in hopes that we don't get sick,and last night we CHEATED ON OUR DIET. Why did we do that? We were doing so good, but fat habits die hard - and before we knew it - we found ourselves at O'Charley's throwing down with a fattening feast. We told ourselves we would start fresh tomorrow. Weight Watchers says to take it one day at a time, so I'm not going to beat myself up about it. My thighs, on the other hand, are tired of rubbing together and are always complaining. Someone needs to shut them up. Today I'll try to do just that with some low - fat food! I guess I really would like to be able to wear a pair of corduroy pants without starting a fire,lol!
Breakfast: Better late than never!
Smoked Salmon Bagel (6 points) I used a Thomas Thins Everything Bagel and toasted it. Then I topped it off with 1 Light Cream Swiss Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge, and 2 ounces of smoked salmon. It was slap ya mama good! Brenda better be glad she was at home, lol!
2 green onions ( 0 points)
2 carrots (0 points)
1 pickle (0 points)
* Tip: If you don't like smoked salmon (ask yourself why not?)...replace it with 2 ounces of your favorite meat like roast beef, turkey, deli chicken, or ham. The point value won't change. I love low sodium roast beef, blazing buffalo chicken, and any kind of roasted turkey or deli ham.
Lunch: Those pizza restaurants ain't got nothing on me!
Blue Cheese and Buffalo Pizza Rounds (7 points) I used a Flatout Rosemary and Olive Oil Artisan flat bread (found these at Publix), 2 ounces of browned turkey breast, 2 tablespoons of Treasure Cave Reduced Fat Blue Cheese, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 1/2 tablespoon Frank's Wing Sauce, 2 tablespoons French's Fried Onions, and 1 small dill pickle. First I mixed together the ketchup with 1 tablespoon of the wing sauce. I spread this on the bread. Then I topped it with the meat, cheese, onions, and pickle. I baked the whole pizza for 10 minutes on 400 degrees. Then, I ate it! Delicious!
1 small cucumber, peeled and sliced (0 points)
1 orange (0 points)
1 large carrot (0 points)
* I will continue to post a variety of my pizza recipes. I get creative by thinking of my favorite burgers at restaurants or fast food joints and turning them into low-fat pizzas!
