Menus and Miles - Tuesday, April 16th

Good morning all,

Don't think I'll get to the gym today, but I will have to clean my car off which is a workout on its own. Not sure how much snow we got, maybe 4-5 inches. Just fine with me, I moderate snow.

I will have to get to the dentist and therapist today, and do a bit of shopping. Hope everyone has a stellar day.

Breakfast: Tea and protein bar

Lunch: Hot pocket (nothing else in the fridge/freezer, must shop today)

Dinner: Out with my sister, not sure of the menu

Snacks: 2 Tea, Protein shake, 2 NSA fudgsicles

Snow - {UGH}.  I'm from Northern Michigan and we could get snow even in June.  I don't miss it here in VA.  I know there were some flurries in southern Michigan the other day...

I need to figure out how I can start to move some more, with this lame foot.  I have to go check out the gym here at the office - I think they have a bike.  That should work...

I have a Dentist appt on Thursday - just general cleaning, checkup.  I'm supposed to take my motorcycle into the shop  this afternoon for oil change.  Need to look at the weather...

My eats for today (like I really know - lol)

B - coffee -

S - protein coffee

L - Smart Ones spaghetti

D - leftovers or going out. 

Hi Jody,

I wondered how many calories are in the average Smart Ones dinner?

Lauren

Lauren - I'd guess about 300 or so.  I don look at calories so much as carbs and protein.  The reason I started with them is because my daughter does Weigh****chers and I was going to also.  Now I've got them to eat.  But I've been told there is an Atkins one that only Walmart sells that is good.  Haven't tried them yet.  

Thanks Jody,

I am finding that left to my own devices, my calories go way up. Need to correct my grazing habits.

Hi Linda,

So what are Chicken Parmesan Bundles?

Lauren

i asked that yesterday.  she posted a link to it.  looks awesome.

Here is the link to the recipe.

I always tweak a recipe to help with the stats.  I used chicken thighs because they are not so dry, Carbquik instead of the Ritz Crackers and I used the Greek Yogurt Cream Cheese.  I do not add the Spaghetti sauce and it is still moist enough for me. 

They taste really good.  they are a little trouble to make, but I made about 10 thighs and will probably freeze some for later.  Some days I can eat a whole one and some days I can only eat 1/2.

Lauren - I just copied my reply from yesterday.
