The Corner Count!

I had a good week this week. This week was ok for tracking some days were better than others but over all getting there. Yesterday I went a little wild with my eating but I have to remember some days I will have those days. (Chili’s kid crispers with corn no butter, 2 Reese Cups, 2 Cookie Dough Pop Tarts, Teriyaki Chicken, and Cookie Dough)

I went to the gym 3 days last week. I did lots of walking and bike riding. I love it.

My Meal to Try for the Week:

Wagon Wheel Beef Soup

8 servings, 1 and ½ cup per serving, 4 PointsPlus per serving

3 cups uncooked wagon wheel pasta

Cooking spray

¾ lb lean ground beef

1 cup chopped onion

3 cups low fat spaghetti sauce

½ tsp dried oregano

Garlic salt to taste

2 14-oz. cans low sodium beef broth

15 oz can kidney beans, un-drained

 Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain. Coat a large pot with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add meat and onion; cook over medium heat until meat is browned, stirring until it crumbles. Drain. Return meat mixture to pan; add cooked pasta and remaining ingredients. Cook 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

So now it is time for the weekly weigh in! This week I lost -1.4 lbs for a total of -7.8 lbs!

Overall a good week!

My First Sewing Project

This is my very first sewing project. It was not the easiest think I have ever done that’s for sure. I took two handles out because I sewed them to the back of the bag. Oops! I don’t think I will be sewing for a while. Requires more patients then I have for it. At least I got one good bag out of it.

I do plan on adding some kind of monogram but not sure when that will be.

I had a good week this week. This week was ok for tracking some days were better than others but over all getting there.

I went to the gym 2 days last week, my mom was out of town and the way our membership works she has to be there when I am there. I am her “guest” as they call it.

My Favorite Snack for the Week:

18 Fiber One Crackers

1 slice of Garlic & Herb laughing cow cheese

So now it is time for the weekly weigh in! This week I lost -1.6 lbs for a total of -6.2 lbs!

Overall a good week!

Yarn Flowers!

I have been making loom flowers with my left over yarn scraps. They are very simple to do and quick. I am going to make some into hair clips, some into pins, and some into magnets. I may find some other uses for them but right now that’s the plan.

Hope you enjoy them!

I had a ok week this week. This week started of not too good on the tracking but by the end of the week I was back on track. I am ready for next week and all the tracking that is to come.

I went to the gym 1 days last week, the pollen here has been Outrageous! The one day I did go I went for 30 and was about dead. I came home and went to bed 2 ½ hours later I woke up. My allergy shots were really bad this week and had my 6^th reaction. Hopefully it will rain some and get this pollen out of the air.

My Favorite Meal for the Week:

1 Piece of Flounder

A little Seasoned Panko Bread Crumbs

A little (real) Parmesan Cheese

1 Egg White

A spray of Pam

Mix Panko and Parmesan together.

Dip Flounder in Egg whites. Then dip in Panko mix. Spray pan with Pam and placed on cookie sheet. Cook at 450 for 10 minutes.

So now it is time for the weekly weigh in! This week I stayed the same for a total of -4.6 lbs!

Overall a good week!
