Today is the start of my monthly, therefore I am not finishing this log today, not only am I to cranky and crabby to do so, I just don't give a flying flip what I eat.

Ok, so that was earlier...for dinner we had the following which was very very tasty:
Spicy Beef Lettuce Wraps

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped red, yellow, or orange bell pepper
1/3 cup chopped carrots
1/3 cup chopped bok choy
1/4 cup chopped water chestnuts
1/3 cup chopped mushrooms
1 tsp. thai chili garlic sauce
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp. light soy sauce
Bibb lettuce leaves

Cook ground beef, onion, bell pepper, and carrots over medium-high heat; cook until beef is browned and onion is soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add bok choy, water chestnuts, mushrooms, garlic chili sauce, and soy sauce, about 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with lettuce leaves. Spoon 1/2 cup of filling into each lettuce leaf. 4 servings

Exercise:
None :( Jeremy was being cranky with his xbox so I couldnt get my exercise in...

It tasted great over my baked potato; I am going to use the rest of it as dressing for lunch tomorrow.

Exercise: 45 minutes of Pilates/Yoga- 2 nights of that and I can feel every muscle in my body! It has got to be the best work out ever!!!


I did very well with my water consumption today. And just 2 days into this and I have a noticeable increase in energy. I am guessing it is from the lack of sugars and "bad" carbs in my diet. It is only day 2, but so far, this is awesome. I am eating stuff as tasty as when I just ate crap...of course the exercise sucks, but it is a necessary evil!

Used 3 more of my 35 Allowable Points.

Dinner-completely CORE

Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast

2 lb. top round pot roast
salt and pepper
1 packet dry onion soup mix
1 can beef broth
8 oz. water
1-1/2 cup sliced carrots
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
1-1/2 cup cubed potatoes
1 stalk celery, chopped
Season roast with salt and pepper. Brown roast on all sides in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Mix soup mix, broth, and water in slow cooker. Add roast, carrots, onion, potatoes, and celery. Cover and cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours.

I also made this cornbread that had an interesting taste...I liked it, Jeremy didn't:

CORE Corebread
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder (I used 2 tsp)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups plain fat free yogurt
1 tablespoon of olive oil or canola oil *
(OR 2 T. 2 tsp. for whole recipe = 1 tsp. oil per serving of 1/8 recipe)
2 egg whites (I used 1 whole egg)
[1 T. Splenda granular, more or less to taste -- optional]

Instructions

Spray 9' round cake pan with Pam. Mix all together until well
blended. Bake 25-30 minuets. Allow to cool slightly. Cut into 8
wedges.

400 for about 15-20 minutes, until browned a little, reduce heat
to 350, toothpick test.

I did 45 minutes of Pilates and Yoga-probably the most difficult work out I have ever done.

Finished off the evening with a fat free, sugar free smoothie using fat free plain yogurt, ice, water, splenda and frozen peaches and strawberries all blended together in the blender. Jeremy did like those-ALOT.

I used about 3 points and I have 35 to use throughout the week. My goal is to use them on things such as 1% milk and a slice of wheat bread here and there, not splurge them all at one time and a fast food meal or sugary snack.

I need to do better on my water intake. But other than that, I had a model day!
