Just another good thing

Sunday, March 06, 2011

Today like so many other times since starting SP I have come to a realization.
Where I used to be able to sit and watch TV for hours, especially on Saturday evenings my body will NOT let me do this any more. With the exercise 3X a week and the healthier way of eating I have too much inner energy to just sit.
Don't get me wrong if the TV program is a good one I will sit at least until a commercial. I don't know how are feeling, but I am loving the new me coming out of the old habits. Have a great week all you lucky to be here on Spark People Sparkies........I know I will try my best too. Hugs to all who read this and thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Passing on a VERY good recipe.....

Monday, February 28, 2011

Today I went to ROCKLAND2010's blog for "Impossibly Easy Zucchini Pie"
It sounded sooooo good.....and I was only missing one ingredient so yes while I was out and about I stopped at the store, picked up the Bisquick and came home and made the pie. It was fantastic.....that is if you like zucchini squash and tomato with onion and parmesan cheese............ for only 120 cals for 1/6 the pie.
Here is the link: bit.ly/cIiY0V . It's a keeper..... I already thanked ROCKLAND2010..........

To whoever mentioned "Better 'n Peanut Butter"

Friday, February 25, 2011

A few weeks ago while surfing this site I came upon a thread where some one mentioned liking "Better 'n Peanut Butter". If I remember correctly people were talking about what kind of PB they liked/bought. Being a PB fan I entered the thread and well the results were: I tried "Better 'n Peanut Butter". There is a chocolate version (which I bought first and just didn't care for), than I bought the original version. A serving size is 2 TBP, just like regular PB, but the calories are almost 100 less. Because I have tried most PB's out there I know what I want in taste.
I want to thank whoever mentioned this PB, because I have found the best of the best (in my opinion). Taste, texture is right on. And once again I am a happy camper........
I spent some time this morning looking for that thread to no avail. Wanted to find the person who brought this product to my attention to thank them, but this is the best I could do....blogging about it. This is an organic PB and slightly higher in price........but well worth it.
Thanks for stopping by and HUGS going all around.......Have a great PB and J day.

Happy meal....

Wednesday, February 23, 2011

I wouldn't usually blog about a meal, but every time I have this it just makes me happy.......and I think this could be another to go to comfort food for me.
All I do is take a spaghetti squash (steam it in a microwave).....scrape it out of the shell.....add some marinara sauce and a touch of shredded parm.
I'm sure there a lot of you who have done this, but for those of you who haven't it's worth a try. Have a good night

A piece of cake...?

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

On my status this morning I mentioned I was out to shovel snow 4" is a piece of cake.........I than added cake?...dare I?....maybe. Well I want to thank those SP friends who sent messages to stay away from the cake......I read them too late....
On Sunday I baked a Pillsbury Reduced Sugar devil's food cake. I made two 8" layers and frozen one for future use. According to the label (and the other SP's who researched this) a 1/12 th piece of cake is 250 calories etc. I marked the cake off to 1/12 pieces while it was still hot (so the marks are still there).
After making out my meal plan for the remainder of today I was able to have that piece of cake and I have no quilt feelings about it. It's a good tasting devil's food cake........not the best........but when you want some chocolate cake this is better than 1) depriving yourself or 2) eating a 550 calorie cake......just my opinion.
Thanks to all those caring SP friends who cared enough to weigh in on the dilemma..........Hugs to all who read this and thanks for stopping by and commenting.
