Down 1.4 tonight for a total of 11 lb. YAY! I was hoping for a loss of .4 to make 10, but was very pleasantly surprised and happy that I went a whole lb above that! Especially considering the birthday cake I had over the weekend. 2 pieces in 2 days, not too bad, but all that extra icing I scooped up with a spoon, I was sure it was going to kill any dreams of having a loss.
Tonight at the meeting we talked about salads and how to keep them from being boring. The group came up with suggestions for different 0 point and low point foods to add to our salads. Many of them I already do, but there were some new ones that I would like to try.
chick peas (1/2 cup for 3 points+)
black beans, pintos, kidneys, etc ( 1/2 cup for 3 points+)
Bacos imitation bacon bits (0 for 1 TBSP, I believe)
chicken, turkey, ground beef, steak, etc (see book for points+ values)
tuna or salmon (2 points+ for 1/2 cup canned in water)
mushrooms
different types of cheeses
mint leaves
radishes
eggs
turkey bacon (1 points+ per 1 slice)
salsa instead of dressing for 0 points+
home made croutons (about 1/2 cup for 2 points+)
olives, black or green
crab or shrimp
different types of lettuces and greens
corn
left over veggies from lat night's dinner (not a favorite idea of mine though)
