I feel like chicken tonite! Like chicken tonite!
So I got some delish chicken from Wally World last night. :) It is boneless/skinless chicken thighs that are only 130 calories per 4-0z serving! It is yummy when you grill it (I have a George Forman Grille) and then top it with fat free cheese and salsa. Dang, I should have taken a picture! Oh well, next time! It is all only 185 calories! And of course if you make it a salad it will be even more filing for like 5 more calories. :) Anywho I am finding success so far with my new calorie plan. I have lost 9 lbs which brings me about to where I was right before I hurt my legs and then gained it all back from being depressed, lol. I am managing low-impact walks and finding quite a bit of success there! :) Anyways, Ryder is climbing in my lap and poking my face and laughing so I better go and entertain this little toot, lol. :D

Sooooo I had some fun in the kitchen today cooking up some healthy versions of my favorite dishes! I love cheese and I love eggs but dang, y'all know those calories add up! So today at the store I picked up some Eggbeaters and fat-free cheese and thought I would give it a go. Everything turned out pretty good! I am having some seasonal allergy issues so my sense of taste is slightly off, but I think you'll enjoy it! On a calorie note, today has gone great. I had Malt-O-meal, 100 calories, the breakfast burrito you see here, 240 calories, two glasses of iced tea, 90 calories, two bowls of peaches and cream oatmeal, 260 calories, one quesadilla, 200 calories, leaving me with 200 calories left for the day. I am thinking more oatmeal... Anyways, here are the recepies for today. Note: I am going to omit the ground turkey because I could barely taste it and it added 50 calories to the mix so I say to heck with it, lol.
Garden Breakfast Burritos
Yeilds one burrito 205 Calories
Ingredients:
--Small Tortilla (110 cal)
--Lettuce and 1 tbsp onions (10 cal)
--1/4 cup of Egg Beaters (30 cal)
--1/4 cup of fat free shredded chedder cheese (45 cal)
--2 Tbsp of Salsa (10 cal)
--Salt, Pepper, and Garlic
Layer ingredients on top of the tortilla as follows: Tortilla, lettuce, and cheese. Set aside. Next mix egg, onions, and seasonings, spray pan for a second with Pam, then scramble eggs until done. This takes like maybe less than a min if the pan is good and hot, lol. Once the eggs are cooked lay them on the cheese then top with salsa. It is important to spread them out evenly because at this point you roll it all up into a burrito, and cut in half. Yay! You might need more salt but like I said, I kind of can't breath right now so it may taste different to non-allergy sufferers, lol.

So today I had basically an awesome workout! Not my usual 4mph at a 2.5 incline for half an hour but I am getting there slowly. :) I am also doing pretty well with my new caloric intake plan, and no diet aids to make me feel like I am having a heart attack, so yeah lol. Now that I am able to do excersises that will actually make a difference, I seriously think I can see some results by New Year's! Annnywho, on a completely unrelated note, my phone is nuts! Hoping to remedy the situation tomorrow while getting to visit with Melly the great. AND I get to see two of my besties from Abilene after church tomorrow, and hopefully HARRY POTTER tomorrow evening! Wait, speaking of which...I better get busy re-reading "Deathly Hallows"...again! Nite all! :D
