Long time no post...

I'm back.... Last time I posted I was at about 48.5 lbs down total... Now I'm at 67.2 lbs LOST - woo hoo. I've been going back to weight watcher meetings for the past 5-6 weeks..and since I'm lifetime I don't have to pay (under my goal). My new goal is to lose 7.8 lbs for a total of 75 lbs lost! I want another 25lb ring for my keychain :)

Deep-Dish Pizza Casserole:
That's what was for dinner tonight! YUMMY :)

Ingredients:
1lb lean ground beef
1 can Italian style diced tomatoes
1 10 oz package of pizza dough
6 slices of reduced fat provalone cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brown meat, drain then add tomatoes til heated. Unroll dough and place into baking dish (1/2 way up the sides). Put down 3 pieces of cheese then put meat/tomato mixture on top of that. Cook for 12 minutes. Put remaining 3 pieces of cheese on top (I cut mine in half then put on top) Cook for additional 5 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve :) Makes 6 servings. I followed the recipe from my cookbook which said was 6 pts per slice...but I double check all my points with the ingredients I buy and my casserole came to 8pts per slice...oh well - it was delicious :)

I lost 1/2 lb this week totaling 10.7 lbs in 6 weeks and 48.5 lbs total :)

10 lbs!

I've been back on the wagon of weight watchers for 5 weeks now and I've lost 10.2 lbs! 48lbs total. 7 more pounds and then I can go back to meetings for free! :) but my new goal is to lose 17 more pounds.

My new cookbook is so amazing! Joe loves it too :) For Valentine's Day I cooked steak, baked potatoes, and has salad with it. and FF icecream for dessert..yum.
Last night I cut up the left over steak and followed a steak fajita recipe from the cook book. Let me tell you - it didn't even feel like I was eating healthy. I had 1/2 cup of white rice and 3/4 cup steak/stirfry, 1 whole wheat tortilla - all that for 6 points and it was SO filling!!! For dessert I had 1 cup ff vanilla icecream and 2 tbsp FF SF caramel - I could have done with only 1 tbsp..I know for next time. the icecream/caramel was 4 pts total.
Thursday is the next night I plan to cook - and I'm so excited for it: Fettucini with artichoke hearts - so excited. I also bought garlic bread sticks (Fairly good size) and they are only 2 pts per one...definitely worth it when craving carbs!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Review of last nights dinner:

Angel Hair Pasta with Clams

FABULOUS!!!

The recipe said it would be 4 servings...so I started with 1 cup for myself, 2 cups for my husband, and 1 cup for my leftovers for lunch (today). And there was still a lot left in the pan - so I think they are considering a serving to be 1 1/2 cups - recipe makes about 6 cups. Although the 1 cup was plenty filling for me :) I think I would have been all clammed out if I had a "full serving"
