Progress

I had a great week.  Every morning I got up, spent at least 45 minutes on the treadmill, came upstairs, made breakfast, drank my coffee, went to work, came home, made dinner...all just like a normal person.  No airport, no hotel, no rental car...this is how every week should be.  So, all that cooking over the week, left me a little less willing to cook this weekend, so I made some quick dinners the past two nights with stuff I found in the fridge.  No real planning, just chop and go.
I'd been doing some cleaning and some minor remodeling on Saturday (by minor I mean, new window treatments and pillows in the bedroom, along with some new picture placement).  I have over the past few weeks been trying to alter my eating habits, so I've been following the Weight Watcher program.  More than anything, I think it really opens your eyes to portion size, and the best part of it is that you can actually eat anything you want.  So, tired from working around the house, I topped 2 Blue Corn and Flax Seed tortillas with 1/2 cup vegetarian refried beans mixed with a little salsa.  Then I sprinkled about 1/4 cup shredded cheese over the two and baked them in a hot oven for about 10 minutes.  Crispy, and delicious, it was exactly what really delicious. I spent some time this afternoon working on a blog post for the new design blog I am going to be a part of.  I'll let you know when it goes live.  Stay tuned. Tonight I boiled some whole grain penne (2 ounces =5 points) and then cooked up a bunch of vegetables....onion, carrots, green peppers, smashed up a couple veggie burgers, diced tomatoes and a little tomato sauce, seasoned perfectly with some garlic, basil and oregano and in about 20 minutes I had dinner.  Now, as Sunday winds down, I'm getting ready to head to Arizona in the morning...all good things must come to an end I guess. 
Oh, and if any of you are wondering....since I started altering my eating habits and exercising I've lost 13 pounds.  Progress.
