Okay...so week before last I weighed in, and nearly chucked the scale through the WW store-front when I saw the 4 lb. GAIN in my weigh in booklet! YES, 4 lbs! I thank TOM and few skipped days of taking my blood pressure meds for the gain:-( Well this past Saturday, TOM vamoosed and I got back on track with my meds...and guess what? I LOST 6.7 LBS. I KNOW...A WICKED AWESOME LOSS!!
Blogger Meet Up...
God's Favorite Shoes (my homie) suggested a Houston blogger meet up sometime during the month of November. Anyone game? If so, hit me up via email or leave a comment!
Alright, on to the crux of my post. My big loss gave me the momentum I need to stay on track and focus this week. As a result, I planned my menu and I am actually executing it. You know planning is key, but planning only works when you FOLLOW the plan...DUH. Many many weeks I sat myself down, made a menu and veered from the menu by eating random crap like frozen dinners.
Well, as I thumbed through some recipe books, I found one of my breakfast favorites in the Body for Life Cookbook by Bill Phillips.
EGG-cellent Ham and Cheese Casserole
Ingredients:
2 cups frozen diced Potatoes (The recipe calls for Ore Ida Hash Browns in the frozen section, but I used Simply Potatoes... pictured below.)
2 green onions
1¼ cup egg substitute
½ cup skim milk
½ cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
Break It Down:
1. Preheat oven to 325° F.
2. Lightly coat a 9"X13" baking dish with cooking spray. I used an 8"X8" baking dish.
3. Layer potatoes evenly on the bottom of the dish; top with ham, mushrooms and onions.
3 POINTS...WHY THAT'S JUST EGG-CELLENT!
That looks super delish. I'm def. going to try it soon.
