Positive Numbers....

Are not always good, ya know.  Today's weigh in proved that!  I'm up .6#, and that's after that awful case of food poisoning. So see, positive numbers suck!!  I can pin point the very second those pounds started adhering to my butt, too.  It was when I snuck an extra wrap from the tailgate leftovers.  Then just one more for the road.  Damn me!!  Those nasty snacks, plus a total lack of commitment to exercise after the food poisoning brought me to this point.

However, today is another chance to recommit, so I am.  I did my nifty breakfast thing this morning, using some of the Biggest Winner Breakfast Sausage I made yesterday.  Had a mini sausage pizza made on a whole grain English muffin.  Quite tasty.  So the day's off to a good start.  Better yet, I'm playing golf today, so there is part of the exercise I've been missing.  Still good stuff.  Dinner is going to be a pork tenderloin on the grill.  Style and flavor still to be determined. 

Ok, so now that I read some of the recipes for the Tofu noodles, I'm going to have to pick up a few more ingredients, one being another pack of noodles.  I WILL be cooking them for a dinner item one of these nights very soon.  You all will be the first to know if I have been successful in pulling one over on Mr. Picky Eater, a.k.a. Hubby Dearest.  I think I'm going to do the Lo Mein, so I need a few more of the fresh Asian veggies first.  Stay tuned for the verdict.....I hope I don't get kicked off the island!!! :)

Last night, using the "200 under 200" cookbook, I made a butternut squash "souffle".  It was delicious.  Even Hubby Dearest, not a huge squash fan, commented that we could do this again anytime.  He really liked it, AND it was only 103 calories for 1/4 of the recipe.  It was a wonderful change from my usual butternut squash w/olive oil misted on it and salt & pepper.

Just getting ready to try a few new recipes this week has me ready to go.  I think it will be just the push I need to get back into the "spring" of things.
