My Favorite things....

I don't often catch daytime t.v. but.....I have loved glimpses of Oprah's show where she shares her favorite things.  ....... thought it would be fun if we all share some of ours.......things that help our weight loss journey's go a little better.....Plz add yours to the list....(products, healthy fast fook pics, restaurant pics, recipes, proteins, exercise tips, behavior ideas, positive thoughts, etc.) 1.  Chuy's Restaurant (kind of a Biker bar/restaurant) has delish grilled protein options for way under $10.  You can get 7 grilled shrimp on a skewer for like $4.00!  LOVE IT!!!! 2.  Banana Scream by Champion Pure Whey Stack protein mixed with just 6 oz of water and then poured over the top of a big cup of SONI****!!!!! 3.  Buying a big bag of turkey jerkey from Costco and then cutting it up with scissors in tiny pieces, measuring some into sandwich baggies and using this as healthy grabs for work. 4. 5. 6..

4 I take two cheese sticks  like the kind in the big bag from (costco) put on a plate  and microwave them for two minutes, yummy. 5. (costco) has boxes of Lara Bars  they have like 4 ingredients, dates, nuts fruit such as cherries, apple or lemon no preservatives,and no sugar the sugar in them is natural from the fruit. I live on these. (You can also get them individually at Frys to try the flavors, just a bit more expensive 6. Sugarfree tropicana lemonaide for a treat every once in a while THOSE ARE MY FAVORITE THINGS TORI     

Tori, I had to try the Lara Bars so picked up 3 flavors from Fry's this morning.  I have been nibbling on the apple cinnamonny flavor all day long.  Very tastey and very dense!!!!  I will save them as treats for when I need something sweet coming home from work.  I love that they don't have any sugar or any glutton!!!!  Wish they had a zillion more proteins so I could ditch one of my protein drinks....Oh well!   Thanks for sharing your faves!

 

7. I love the Minestrone and Pasta Fagiole at Olive Garden. They are two of my favorites. 8. I also found that all the Jerky at Bass Pro Shop is to die for. They have beef, turkey, fish and pork. I love it all.

9.  Talapia steamed with lemon, Old Bay Seasoning, and topped with Parmesean Cheese

10.  Matrix Chocolate protein powder

11.  Luna Chocolate/Mint Bars....YUMMO

12.  Whole wheat tortilla used as a pizza crust and top with pizza toppings.

I had the Talapia tonight for dinner.  The cheese and lemon together gives it such a different flavor.  I usually put some olive oil on the fish and then put it in aluminum foil and add the Old Bay Seasoning and lemon juice.  I bake it at 350 for about 10 minutes and then add the cheese on top and just let it melt.  Then it is ready to eat.  You should be able to eat it when you can do soft foods.  Steaming the fish makes it moist.

Hey Jeremy! My hubby doesn't hunt or fish and so I can honestly say I've never had any reason to even want to go there.  But.....I'll definitely have to check out their jerkey supply.  Fish jerkey?  Hmmmmmm.....can't wrap my tastebuds around that one but I'm all for trying the others.  We like to pick up buffalo jerkey while in Yellowstone Park!  Very good stuff! Love everyone's faves!  Thanks for sharing!

What a wonderful Idea, I am still in the learning phaze, so this is perfect for me to pick up some great ideas. Thanks for adding so much to the group! hugs, Kim

Those are great ideas!  I love her show too.  I listen to the Opera channel a lot on XM radio.  She goes over her favorite things in detail. Those are very good diet ideas.  I enjoy reading your posts.
