New Yummy Recipes

Hi

I have tried a couple of new things the past two days and all I can say is yum yum.
Fresh corn salad with tomatoes and lime
First: 1 point (Yep that's right)
2 c fresh corn kernels about 2 ears of corn
2 small tomatoes
3 scallions
3 T chopped fresh mint
1 jalapeno pepper minced or canned minced 1 t
1 clove garlic minced
2 T fresh lime juice
2 t virgin olive oil
1/2 t salt

Toss together all the ingredients in a serving bowl. Serve at once or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours. One serving is 3/4 c

You can add white beans (I didn't) if you want and it will add 1 point and quite a bit of protein.
I'm telling you yum yum

Don't turn off your ears when I say turkey burgers. These were yummy.
Southwest Turkey Burgers
1.33 lb. of lean ground turkey
4 oz. can diced green chiles drained
1/4 t salt
1/4 t black pepper
4 skinny slices of low fat pepper jack cheese
4 whole wheat kaiser rolls toasted (found them at walmart)
lettuce/tomato/onion/1/2 avocado sliced

Mix the turkey and chiles. I personally left the juice in and added a little buttermilk. It makes it soupy so I let it soak a minute. I mushed them together and put them on a very hot grill that I had dabbed with oil (rack) I let it cook at least for four minutes on one side which made it possible to turn the burgers without them falling apart.
After cooked add the cheese and then put all of your fixins on the bun and enjoy. The avocado was awesome on the bun ane I didn't have to add any condiments. I used Vadalia onions. 342 Calories 6 points

Ernie is just not himself

Hi Everyone

I'm down .2 and four weeks ago I was up .8. So I'm going to take what I can get. I'm planning for next week when Claire and I are at World Series thus planning my meals will be very important.

I've got to put some variety in my diet as I'm missing some good tasting food thus it's time to shift that a bit.

When I look in the mirror I feel sometimes like Ernie. Who is that looking back : )

Talk to you later

A Little More Food Works To Create A Little Less Weight!

Well I was down 2.4 tonight making it a total of 41.8. I talked with a few folks and it turned out that eating a little closer to plan and a planned day of a few extra calories got things moving. This past month however I only lost 4.4 with the gaining and losing. That's kind of a bummer but it is creeping the right direction.

Plyometrics is on the exercise menu for the next couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to some core work.

Weird happenings: This weekend I was told I look "hot" and not in the temperature sense and tonight one of the guys who is losing weight at WW told me I was glowing. Hmmm Too much spray tan??? Hee Hee Funny thing that men start looking again. Not that I'm asking for it I just find it interesting.

Enjoying Looking "Hot" Again!
