Weigh in day

2.8 pounds holy crap, that's almost 3!
I am really proud of myself this week, also Greg has had to take less insulin because of the healthy changes we have already made, just wait until we start walking together and stuff. I am so excited, I am almost into a new 10lb range. I am not brave enough to disclose what that range is (My friend Tara used to say "Like there is a veil of thiness that exists until people know the number?!) I know it seems silly since my picture in on here an everyone knows I am fat. The thing is my weight has always been pretty evenly distributed over my body so people are always shocked when they hear just what that number is. Silly I know but hey I will be bragging my ass off once I am under 200 okay?
My cupboards are full of great tasting better for us snacks and I am thrilled.
A couple of tips: Stay away from Target (tm) brand turkey bacon, it is crap. The Aldi(tm) Fit & Active (tm) turkey bacon is the best I have found so far and so I will be stocking up on it big time. Greg and I have had TBLT's twice now and are loving the turkey bacon it also works great to add some calories to our ultra lo-cal Eggbeaters(tm) sandwich breakfast though that may be the easiest breakfast known to man.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup fat free liquid egg substitute
no calorie cooking spray
1 Thomas' Better Start High Fiber(tm) english muffin
I can't believe it's not butter spray (tm)
1/8 cup shredded fat free cheese
2 slices turkey bacon (cook ahead and save in a baggie in the fridge)

Directions:
Toast the english muffin to the darkness you prefer and spray it with the I can't believe it's not butter spray(tm) when it is done. Set aside.
Spray a small bowl with no calorie cooking spray then pour in the liquid egg substitute. Cover with a paper towel and microwave for 1 minute 10 seconds. Careful remove from microwave and top with cheese. Slide whole thing onto english muffin.
wrap the bacon in the paper towel and microwave for 5 seconds(just to take the chill off) break it into pieces and top the egg with the bacon. Place on remaining muffin and enjoy.
The whole thing only has: 210calories, with the bacon, without it is only 150, way too few for breakfast, the most important meal of the day.

  1. Wow, that's awesome about your loss! And Greg's less insulin! You guys are both doing so great!
    I got some turkey bacon at Shaw's today it's some weird brand but the kids said it's good. We made pizza for dinner and Nathan and Kelsey both put it on theirs. I had spinach and feta on pita with a little olive oil and garlic powder. Yummmmmm....
