Skinny Quest

Quest to Be Skinny is going pretty well. I am going to hit it hard core again this week. It has been really hard to stay on the diet we have been blessed by folks bringing us food to our house. But I hopefully that I can get refocused very soon.

The Best Ice Cream...

This is the best tasting Fat Free Ice Cream that I have ever put in my mouth and the Best Part is that it is only 1 weight watcher point per 1/2 cup of Ice Cream... Seriously go get this... I am not getting paid to say this. It is true

Diet and Moore

We finally made it home this weekend. Clare and Emma are doing really well and Mom is hanging in there. I have been stuck in my weight loss. But I hoping that will pick up this week.

I found this awesome Weight Watchers Recipe.


These are Only 1 Point each.

Baking instead of deep-frying these popular Chinese appetisers allows us to serve up egg rolls for a mere fraction of their pre-renovated version.

• 1 head chinese cabbage, outer leaves removed, shredded
• 2 medium carrot(s), peeled and shredded
• 2 medium garlic clove(s), minced
• 2 medium scallion(s), white and green parts, chopped
• 1 Tbsp ginger root, fresh, minced or 1/2 tsp dried
• 1 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 8 average egg roll wrapper(s), about 1/2 oz each
• 1 sprays olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
  
  
• Place cabbage in a microwavable dish and cover. Microwave on high until wilted, about 4 minutes; drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add carrots, garlic, scallions, ginger, soy sauce, cornstarch and oil; mix well.
  
  
• Arrange egg roll wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Spoon cabbage mixture diagonally onto each wrapper. Fold over one corner to cover filling. Fold up both corners. Moisten edges of remaining flap with water and roll up wrapper jellyroll style until sealed. Transfer egg rolls to prepared baking sheet and coat with cooking spray.
  
  
• Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve hot.

How I measure success?

These days I a measuring success by how much weight I have lost? Or how many deals have I closed? And so on...

So my weight is at 283... I have slowed but I am refocusing.

Weight Loss

As of this morning I weighed 282. I am about to the weight I weighed before we left Asbury Hills. Hard to think that I put on so much weight in the last year but I guess that is what stress and fast food will do to you.

Mind you I wasn't pigging out. At least I didn't think that I was pigging out. Until I realized that a Big Mac Extra Value Meal Had 940 Calories and 50 Grams of Fat. 23 Weight Watcher Points.

Oh I could eat that If I wanted but that would be eat for the day. I just prefer to stay away.

Lately I have been enjoying Lean Cuisine Sandwiches. They are very good. And of course Subway Sandwiches.

Catch Up

So..... This week was awful as far as the diet goes. I have no will power when there s candy lying around. Or someone brings brownies to the house. I only lost one pound this week. My accountability partner moved away to Connecticut a couple of weeks ago. So now it is all on my own.

I enjoy doing weight watchers but some days I just am not very good about keeping up on the points. Hopefully tomorrow.!!!

Fasting

So I have spent the last three days fasting. Well, I have had fruit smoothies. This as aclerated my weight loss which is good. Man I want to write alot by can't right now..
