L-O-V-E this lasagna! It takes 5 minutes to heat up, it tastes pretty darn close to homemade and it's very satisfying for me. I like that the vegetables aren't all over-cooked and stuff. And it's only 345 calories! I always stock up when they go on sale at the store.
These little babies are fantastic for a sweet tooth. Only 45 calories and they're equal to a serving of fruit. Okay, okay, I know all the fitness people tell you not to eat your fruit dried because the sugar and calorie content are more concentrated. But they're great if you don't have access to fresh fruit at the moment (so portable) and the portion is measured and ready to go. No brainers are good! (Also, please enjoy my dirty countertop in this picture)
Okay, I already talked about these, but just in case you were like 'huh?', here's a picture of what I was talking about. My mom used to eat these all the time (but I won't tell you what she put on them- right, Bev?). 35 calories per cracker. I love the texture. Sometimes I'm in a cracker mood, but I don't want to waste calories on crackers that are calorie dense and unsatisfying. Voila, problem solved!
Ah, la piece de resistance! This is my silver bullet. 2 tbsp = 20 calories. Basically you're eating mostly air when you spray a litte of this deliciousness on your fruit or low-fat ice cream. I'm still not sure how to measure 2 tbsp. exactly when I use it, but oh well, close enough is close enough. You can only find this kind at Costco as far as I know. Plus the price is better. Steer clear of the inferior brands, they just don't taste like real whipped cream.
Finally, this pancake mix is great! You can make two good sized pancakes for only 220 calories and they're pretty darn filling. For people with blood sugar issues like me (hypoglycemia), they're a good start to the day (fiber, low sugar, okay on protein). I eat them with strawberries and some whipped cream (pictured above). Also notice in this picture- my food journal on the right. See, I'm really doing it.
Well, that's it for now. Wow, this is making me hungry! Too bad it's way too late to eat!
Did well on eating today, had to exercise at 9pm- but I did it! 35 min., jogged at 4.0 mph for 5 minutes just to see if I could. It only hurt a little!
Today's weight - 180.6 (Hoping for better tomorrow!)
Awesome! I want to try the pancake mix. I usually have cream and strawberries on my pancakes too. I used to love syrup, but after I had Jared, I stopped loving it. Don't know why.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I can't hear the words "vegetable lasagna" without laughing because of this episode of Seinfeld. Don't know if you ever watched that show.
