Today's Not So Good Things:
Caved to my craving for frozen pizza for lunch (aka cardboad pizza as my husband calls it)
Today's Food Choices:
Breakfast: 2 oz cheddar cheese, 1.5 sourdough rye krisp crackers, decaf black
Snack: 1 slice hm LOOM bread with raisins, buttered
Lunch: 3 pieces of frozen pizza (cooked, of course!), carrot sticks, 2 pieces of ants-on-a-log (celery w/ pb and raisins), diet soda, 1 spoonful of pb
Snack: grapefruit and *maybe* 1 oz pepperoni
Dinner: 2 reg sized bowls of tortellini soup, (second bowl I removed the tortellini ;) ), 1 slice of ww italian bread-buttered
Snack: greek yogurt with fruit bowl (thawing as I type. ;) )
Today was good. Okay, the pizza wasn't a great choice, but I did chase it down with fresh vegies. I'll never understand why I still like that stuff so much. I grew up on it (among other prepackaged gems) and I just can't shake the taste for it. I rarely buy it, so it always feels like a treat when we have it. I was glad to follow it up with some yummy homemade soup LOADED with vegies tonight. :)
I made a great choice this afternoon to put aside my computer and "sitting work" and get in some exercise on the wii. It's fun and wakes me up a bit during the afternoon slump. Because of some school issues happening here, I'm not yet comfortable to leave the house for my afternoon mile like I used to, so this was a good substitute.
That's all I've got for tonight. My husband is enjoying some time with the children before they head to bed, so I'm going to join them. :D
ETA: I added the recipe to the tortellini soup to my Recipes page at the top in case anyone wants to give it a try.
Tracy, the tortellini soup sounds great! I'm off to check the recipe next! :)
ReplyDeleteAs you know, we JUST bought the Kinect. It's similar to the Wii but you don't have ANY remotes or Nunchucks. Just your body. I am amazed at how much of a workout you can get with that. And, it's FUN to boot! In fact, I couldn't figure out why my thighs were killing me yesterday... until I remembered that I played the skiing game the day before! WOW!
(Here's a little secret... I love TOTINOS frozen pizzas. Have since I was young. I just have to force myself to pass them up when we are shopping! For me, I figure if they don't make it to my home... they don't make it to my mouth either! LOL! So, you aren' t the ONLY one who likes pre-made frozen pizzas!)
First and foremost.......I LOVE frozen pizza!!!!!! That is a big treat for us here! My dh loves it too! lol
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be looking at the recipe for the soup!! Thank you!
You did really good I think! You got your morning pilates in AND some more exercise later on the wii.Great job!!!
Your food choices were very good for the most part!!!!!!!
We just got a wii not long ago! I don't have the fitness board yet but I am looking forward to having one in the future! Right now we are mostly playing Super Mario! lol IN fact,family night tonight will hopefully find Scott and I FINALLY beating the last castle! lol Last night we tried forever and didn't get it! Fun! :):)
Anyhoe.....You are doing great Tracy!!! Would you please remind me how far along you are?
I just want to let you know I was here, sounds like you are doing well and I enjoy reading here. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. I hope you like the soup. Looks like I'm making a batch for David to bring to work next week. He was making them drool today when he brought some for lunch. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm at 23weeks now, Angie. I have a ticker at the bottom of this blog if you scroll all the way down. (which can be annoying, I know. ;) )
Glad I'm not the only one with a crazy love for carboard pizza!! Heehee :)
