I can't believe how horrible my muscles feel, I feel worse today than I did yesterday. I almost feel sick. I think I will sit out the work out again today...maybe a brisk walk on the tread mill
Had a quick lazy breakfast.

Chicken Soba 380 Calories, 8 points
(Don't have much of a selection and I needed something quick!)
Dinner:
Southwestern Shrimp and Black bean chili:
I got this recipe from a cook book called Trim & Terrific.
I'll write the recipe as the book had it but whats in parenthesis is what I actually used.
1 grn bell pepper,chopped (2 TBSP)
1 red bell pepper, chopped (2 TBSP)
1 lrg onion, chopped (3 TBSP)
1 cup shredded carrot (1/2 c)
I TBSP finely shredded jalapeno (omitted)
1/2 tsp minced garlic (used powdered to taste)
1 TBSP chili powder ( used to taste)
1 1/2 tsp cumin (used to taste)
1 14 1/2 oz can chopped tomatoes, w/juice (only had stewed tomatoes)
1 16 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 c water (used 1 cup)
1 lb med. shrimp, peeled (used 1 c frozen)
1 -10oz package of frozen corn (didn't have any on hand)
(One reason I changed what I used is to make it just for me....my guys won't touch this stuff)
Coat pan with nonstick spray and saute green and red peppers, onion, carrot, jalapeno and garlic until tender, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, tomatoes, black beans, water, and shrimp: bring to a boil and cook for 5-10 minutes or until the shrimp are pink. Add corn and continue to cook for 5 minutes longer.

Even with my twist due to not having all ingredients on hand it came out pretty good.
I think I will make this again...I think it needed a little something.

Day 1
This morning I woke up ready to get into my new eating habits.
First up was actually eating breakfast.
I honestly can't remember eating breakfast in quite a while. I do but we eat it as a brunch or lunch.
This morning I experimented. I had 3 egg whites left over from some eggs that I separated last night. So I thought I will make me a egg white omelet.
2 TBS Chopped tomato
2TBS Chopped Onion
3TBS chopped thawed out broccoli
3 egg whites
salt and pepper to taste
Total calories....203 Points 4
I just sauteed the veggies in olive oil, added a pinch of salt and pepper threw in the egg whites and it was done.
It was good but I felt like it was missing something.


Maybe it was missing some cheese. I think next time I will try it with a little bit of Gouda.
I also drank a glass of water with my breakfast.
Lunch I am unsure, I am going to a play date at McDonald's, I'm a strong girl I can over come the temptation.
LUNCH:
Spinach Enchiladas.

Well I had me a rather late lunch.
I used some of the left over spinach to make myself some spinach enchiladas.
If any of you gals enjoy spinach this is how I made them (these are single serving ingredients) and I made up as I went along.
2TBS onion
2TBS chopped tomato
1/2c spinach..packed (frozen kind)
2 TBS pureed Chile Ancho
1/2 c water
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste
2 corn tortillas
1 mozzarella cheese stick
I just sauteed the onion and tomato in Olive oil, then added the spinach and 2 TBS of chile puree along with the 1/2 cup of water, cumin and garlic powder.
I allowed this to simmer so the spinach could take in the yummy seasonings.
Next I warmed up my two corn tortillas in the microwave until soft.
Took the spinach mixture and filled and rolled my tortillas. I left a bit of mixture to top my enchiladas.
Then I grated my cheese stick and topped my enchiladas and popped them in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melted. ****cheese stick mozzarella does not melt too well...but thats all I had***Also if you don't have chile ancho paste or have no idea what it is use chile powder...I swear by chile powder!*****
I had this with a Diet Cherry coke Zero. Will post the calories and points later this evening.
Total Enchiladas calories 196.5 points 3

Cup of water-0
Dinner:
Chicken noodle soup Calories 120, points 3

Yogurt Parfait 160 calories, 3 points

Worked out to my EA Sports Active Personal Trainer on the Wii.
Worked out for 22:06 minutes
Burned 123.5 calories
These work out programs always had me skeptical. But I got one from John and Debbie for Christmas (Thank you John and Debbie!).
I always thought to myself....give me a good pair of running shoes and fresh air anyday..NOW thats how you lose weight.
Well I eat all my words and thoughts because this program kicked my booty!!!!
I was huffing, puffing and almost swearing at the television. And walked funny all the way to the computer to log my info!
Note if you decide to buy this program....In line skating is a BEEEEEEEPPPPP!!!
