So with the hubby turkey hunting and me just cooking for basically myself, I am not really wanting to eat (wow thats a change) and so the kid is home from college but she is eating out all the time (she really should stop that). Last night I was looking for something quick and low fat dinner using stuff in my pantry, well this is the recipe I made:
Al Dente Low Carb Garlic Noodles
1 frozen package of brocolli and cheese and cauliflower and cheese
about 1/4 cup (if that) of low fat cream of mushroom soup
2 cans of chicken
I cooked the brocolli and cheese and cauliflower and cheese in the micro
then i put them in a pan with the chicken and soup and just heated through.
cooked the noodles and then put about a cup of the mixture over cup and 1/2 of noodles. The noodles are high fiber low carb so they are only like 3 points for 1 1/2 cups. I got alot out of it and I only charged it like 4 points a serving. I am not sure if thats totally right as you cant break down the recipe into cups etc but estimating thats what I got.
It actually was very good so I am going to try that again.
I am finding that canned chicken is a great substitution for chicken in some instances. I dont like to cook and the hubby has always done the cooking so its hard for me to get "into it". I am trying. A lady I know makes simple chicken soup using canned broth, canned chicken, and italian seasonings. Then the noodles of her choice. I made it and it was good. The kid didnt really like it but we did.
So I went to the bar last night had 4 beers. Danced a little but not alot. OMG there is this guy that is my girlfriends best friend, like I have a total crush on this guy. To bad I am married LOLOLOL..but its okay to admire from afar is it not.
I got to wear my new size 12's cute jeans...and I think I looked good. I feel too old for the bar scene though and the girls look like they are 15 years old...and I saw some really bad spandex choices and I actually saw a girl who looked like screech from saved by the bell...LOLOL. I didnt know I was a people watcher.
Didnt really exercise yesterday so I am going to hit it hard today.

Spandex is really never a good fashion choice is it? I mean, if you actually have the figure for it, it says "guess what I'm looking for tonight?", otherwise it just says "I'm trying too hard", or other things much too sickening to mention...
BTW, Me in spandex bicycle shorts... now that just says

its been a great night, i like having the house to myself
i wanted pizza so i went and got a boboli whole wheat crust some lowcal cheese and veggies. I figured out that half a pizza is like 9 points, not bad since I got up late and kind of skipped lunch.
so i wrote out my "goal" list for my unemployment period. It includes losing 35 pounds and learning photoshop...if anyone here can help me learn that i would be truly greatful.
My husbands bday is monday. He will be 50, my goal was to be a WILF for his bday. I was hoping I would be down about 35 pounds...looks like I will have to settle. I may be going out of town (to the Athens Ohio area) for awhile to visit some relatives...I am leaving Monday morning on his bday....so I guess he will have to get his WILF benefits later.....I hope he can hold out ;-)

Wings win...decent game...I wish I had a big huge hdtv screen like my mom and dad but when we all go over to watch the game it seems we never get a good seat and end up not watching the game, so we stayed home.
so the hubby came home from turkey hunting and wanted pizza AGAIN...I was like..I just had pizza...but he didnt have to twist my arm.
for moms day the dtr cleaned my basement and we fixed up the work room where my weight bench is by putting the area rugs from her dorm at college under the weight bench and organizing it so I didnt have to look at my h's tool bench all messy or kitty litter box.
ended walk/running the treadmill today.
going out of town tomorrow so i dont think i will have the computer to check in. i wont get to do official weigh in with weight watchers until after thursday. maybe that will be good..not sure.
not much else going on..its pretty quiet in here too..

so i stepped on the scale this morning..it hasnt budged!!! last week a few days i was down to 163, but then the day of my official weigh in comes and i am up. I know I was not perfect over the weekend, but I really wasnt that bad. I am for the first time since december a little discouraged. As I said in my previous posts on the weeks I drink wine a few days, the scale doesnt move...luckily for the next week I am with relatives and probably wont be having any wine at all...good good good..I am doing so good with my exercise. Yesterday I didnt really feel like running, but I jumped on the treadmill and did 30 minutes of high speed running (like sprints) with intervals of walking and then running steadily. For example, I might sprint for one minute, then walk 2 then run 5 minutes.
The hubby came home from turkey hunting and said he was down another 5 pounds. Thats 40 pounds in like 3 months...I am stuck at 24 to 25 in almost 5 months. I am doing more high level exercise than him and eating really the same thing as him. I guess its a womans metabolism.
I am glad though I am down because the uncle I will be seeing has a great habit of tellin me "you've put on a little weight". When I was 16/17/18 years old I could tease back, but now I want to say I AM 45 YEARS OLD FUKER..THE JOKE IS OLD NOW... I come from a long line of smart asses and though I can be one too, I hope I know where to draw the line....
Well, I am leaving in an hour and havent even taken a shower...so I guess i willl ttyl
H&FS...

there was so much drama. SO many fights against fat! good news in most of us won our battles. But man it was some gruesome stuff! there were pounds not lost, tears and pound lost in unbelievable amounts. i had an extra bag of popcorn for you, but you had left already. different diaries will have the whole scenarios. but i can tell you it was battles well fought!
It good to ahve you back. well come back to your fight for a smaller you. I wouldn't worry about the no exercise, you were on a small vacay after all! live a little!

yah, he was his usual dicky self...at one point he says "i remember that you were the "bad kid" in the family..i remember the trouble you caused".. he is eluding to the time I left home when i was 19 and he happened to be visiting. I must admit it is the only time (besides when my dtr died) that I had seen my dad cry...I left home to live with my boyfriend in Texas...and the warning I gave my dad was the day before...I think i said "Oh yeah, I am moving out tomorrow, dont stop me". Well hey that doesnt make me a bad kid. I was a child trying to become an adult in an atmosphere where my Dad made all the decisions for me...I dont regret it..it is who I am today. I shut him down right away. Another thing he said was "i bet your daughter is angry because her cousin has a scholarship for softball"...well...I just said ..um no..she quit her senior year probably because her sister died her junior year during softball season and she tore her ACL as well. He didnt know what to say to me...
Its all good ;-)
back on track tomorrow..
how utterly devastating that must be.
aww, thats not big enough 
that's better.

Hey glad to see you are back. This place isnt the same without you.
Just reading that story about your uncle is making me mad. I hate, hate, hate people like that. I guess every family has them.
Big games for the Wings tonight. Good luck!!
