TGIF

Posted by primaballerina on March 20th, 2009 |Filed Under 30-Day Shred, General, Recipes, Weight Watchers |

I’m having a VERY lazy Friday. I just can’t seem to get motivated to do anything.

Yesterday I started Level 3 of the 30 Day Shred.  I actually felt a bit sick after because I worked so hard!  I’m trying to psych myself up to do it again now…

This week, I’m trying to mix up my food a bit. I’m trying to eat mostly filling foods in hopes that I can jump-start my weight loss again. Yesterday I did quite well.  I had yogurt with blueberries and homemade granola for breakfast, pasta salad and carrots for lunch, tuna with melba toast and an apple for a snack, and homemade chicken fingers, potatoes, and broccoli for dinner.  Oh, and a fibre One bar for dessert.

Here’s the recipe for my WW chicken fingers: (1 serving =5-6 points)

1 chicken breast (4 points) - you can vary the amount of chicken depending on how many points you have

1 egg white (0 points)

1/3 cup cornflake crumbs or other low-fat bread crumbs (2 points) - I like the cornflake ones because they’re really crispy- you can add pepper to the mix if you like.

Cut the chicken into strips, dip in egg, coat in breadcrumbs, and bake at 350 for 20-25 mins. Makes 1 serving.

I also made WW french fries: (1 serving= 3 points)

1 medium potato (2 points)

1 tsp Olive Oil (1 tsp)

Cut potatoes into thin strips and place in a bowl.  Drizzle olive oil over potatoes, and toss to coat.  Sprinkle herbs and spices to taste (I use basil, oregano, chili pepper, black pepper)

Bake at 350 for 10-15 mins- turn potatoes- bake for another 10 mins or so. Makes 1 serving.

Voila! Dinner done. It’s also BF approved.  I like to whip this out when he whines about wanting Wendy’s.

I still feel really bad about my gain this week.  I can’t seem to pull myself out of my funk.  I just can’t shake this feeling of failure.  My WW buddy suggested that maybe I need to exercise more. I have a hard enough time finding time to do my 30 Day Shred! I have such a hectic lifestyle because of law school, and it’s always a struggle to find time in my day. I’m always so tired.  Sigh.  I don’t know what to do sometimes. :(

    I’m doing the 30DS too.. I am so scared to go to level 3.. I still have a few more days go to and I’m dragging out finishing level 2 because I don’t want to go to level 3 and die!

    You can definitely do it, paperskin! It’s not too much worse than level 2- just different moves that take some adjusting to. The one thing I hate is the sailor squat jumps- you’ll know the ones I mean because your legs will be on FIRE!! Let me know how it goes when you start it :)
