Light dawns on marblehead....

Okay so the reason there were way too many ground cereal breadcrumbs is I measured them after I crumbed them....duh. So I wasted like half of my $4.00 box of cereal in one night. I hate when I don't think.
Anyway today has been going great so far. A sliced apple with 1 1/2 tablespoon of peanut butter has been my breakfast favorite lately. Not sure if I am missing something that they provide from my diet but it seems to be all that I want when I get up? Who knows.
I do have to hit the grocery today, I am out of fruit and that just will not do.
It is that time of the month where I want to eat everything in the house. (seriously I have eyeballed the cat a couple of times) So, being "good" isn't always easy which is why this new cookbook is so amazing for me. I can have two of this or one of these or a slice of this...it makes it much easier to stay on track when there are pumpkin spice cupcakes involved, and yes they get frosting. I can hardly wait to make them... I think I will do those tonight.
My biggest slip up as of late has been in exercise. And I could tell you that my back has been bothering me and I am so exhausted from work that I can't get motivated. (which is all true but I do also always feel better when I am on a regular excercise routine so I need to just do it.)
So, I guess I will go do my exercises now. Ciao!

Okay so....

The "Bloomin' Blossom" recipe out of my new cookbook needs some tweaking. I thought that was WAY too much cereal for coating and it needs more flavoring.
Also the Keylime pie type recipe the crust is way too thick and should be cut with some reduced fat Nilla Wafers (tm) to make it more pallatable.
The buffalo chicken recipe was awesome though and will definitely be made again.
Right now I have to go make some ground turkey and rice wheat wraps for dinner.
I really like being able to share healthy eating with Greg. He has been really supportive so far. He loved the "Ooey gooey Cinnamon Rolls" that I made for breakfast (made with Splenda (tm) I Can't Believe It's Not Butter (tm) spray, and Pillsbury (tm) reduced fat crescent rolls. you even get to make a halfway decent frosting for them.)
