It has been about a month and half since my last post:( I have a good reason...I promise! My last post was on February 12 and this is the exact day that we discovered out lives were about to change! We learned on this day that..... WE ARE EXPECTING OUR FIRST CHILD!!! I still can't believe it. I mean it was not an "accident" as we were "trying" but it still seems so unreal! Sometimes I can't

Tuesday it was TACO TUESDAY!!! I love tacos...we used to eat it so much when we first got married so my husband got tired of them but as I mentioned many times, I could eat the same thing everyday if I really liked it and LOVE TACOS! So I am always looking for new and fun ways for TACO NIGHT! Here are the details:  Ingredients:  3 spray(s) cooking spray, divided   2

Today is day 2 of Neely, Amber and Casey’s FABULOUS VALENTINE'S CHALLENGE! Today’s Topic is: Worst Date Ever!! I actually don’t recall having any “bad dates”. Any date I went on was OK and a few were pretty freaking fantastic! However, there is one that sticks out. This guy (who shall remain nameless- none of my friends would even know who he was since I HAVE NEVER

YESTERDAY was the first day of the Fabulous Valentine's Day Challenge.  I have been having such a great time doing IT's OK THURSDAY! I figured this would be lots of font to do! Neely, Amber and Casey are doing this challenge so I thought...what the heck!! Day 1's topic is BEST DATE EVER!!!  Of course the best date I have ever been on was with my husband Daryl...the date that

Here are the details: Ingredients: 1 small hamburger bun3 oz of lean beef, patty form1 slice fat-free American cheese

I have the pleasure of going home for lunch every day. I enjoy the time away from work and love that I am able to have delicious meals every day! Actually, I tend to make things that are quick and easy! Maybe a Smart ones frozen meal and a bowl of soup or a NEATO FRITO BURRITO (those are my fav!) . TodayI was craving a turkey wrap which is weird because I don't really like deli meat that much.

Everyone deals with some sort of BS at work. I don't care if you are a woman or man, work with 3 or 500 people. There is BS. I usually don't have to deal with much BS but it still comes my way. I just don't get it. Why can't people just do their jobs, get along with others and JUST DO THEIR JOB! I really wish it was ok for me to tell some people this: Dear person who annoys the crap out of me,

As I mentioned here, here, here and here, I LOVE FAST FOOD. I know it is bad for you and all that jazz but it is sooo tasty. So I love finding healthy alternatives! However, this burger was 12 PP and I looked up a Big Mac is 14 PP! But ours was bigger and tastier!!! Here are the details:  Ingredients:Sauce1 1/2 tbsp. fat-free Thousand Island dressing1/8 tsp. granulated sugar1/8 tsp. white

It's Thursday and you know what that means! I am linking up with Neely and Amber for: So here we go:  IT'S OK.... That I asked my husband for socks for Valentine's day! I just love how new socks feel. I got some this weekend and they are so comfortable AND MUCH CHEAPER THAN VERA BRADLEY! I also asked for a kindle cover and book light:)  To get get excited about watching

Fried chicken is one of those words that makes you fat just thinking about! I kinda like "fried" chicken but i do not like all the grease and fat that comes with it. In fact last time I had KFC which was about 2 years ago because I had a craving for it, I thought to myself: WHAT THE HELL! This is gross:) So I love finding Weight Watchers, Hungry Girl OR any other healthy ways to make "fried"

As I have mentioned before, I weigh in at Weight Watchers on Saturday at 9:30.  I had my typical "skinny clothes"  (as if that makes a big difference:) on and was ready to rock and roll. Anyway, we went to the 7:30 meeting which was WAY EARLY for a Saturday:) But I weighed in and the lady smiled and said: "YOU LOST 5 pounds!" I was very delighted and it felt good! As I mentioned before.

I love eating pasta...I mean who doesn't. But what I don't enjoy is the high PP values. I found this delicious recipe on the Weight Watchers site. I thought that I would give it a try and I AM SO GLAD I DID!! Here are the details:  Ingredients: 8 oz uncooked rigatoni 1/8 tsp table salt 8 oz raw turkey sausage, Italian-style, removed from casings 8 oz cremini mushrooms, or Baby Bella

On Thursday night, I didn't feel like cooking....at all!!! As mentioned in THIS post, I made chicken salad! My HUSBAND LOVES CHICKEN SALAD!! I have made some Hungry Girl recipes in the past and they were DECLIOUS!!! It has pecans and grapes...but pretty high in the PP:) So I was delightfully surprised when I found this receipe on Weight Watchers and saw the PP...HERE ARE THE DEATILS:

Tonight I did not feel like cooking. I was even tempted by my hubby to order pizza but I decided I would be better off making a simple dinner:): So decided to make chicken salad and soup. I found this awesome soup recipe on...where else HUNGRY GIRL!! She rocks. This recipe was very easy and quick to make AND SOOOO DELICIOUS!! Here are the details:  Ingredients:  2 slices center-cut

I am liking up with Neely and Amber this week for It's OK Thursday!  I had so much fun last week and gained a couple of new followers and had a great time reading the comments! SO..... Its OK..... That I don't want to work out today after work! I worked out 4 days this week knowing that by Thursday I wouldn't have the energy to work out any more!! It is the beginning of the Spring

Tonight I tried pilates. I had a very tense day at work and I wasn't feeling like doing my normal routine. I debated whether to work out at all today but lucky of me my husband encouraged me [Dary= 1, Christie= 0]Well..... It was more of a work out for my body than my normal aerobic work out! It was different that I expected. This big girl needs to trim down because I cannot left my legs behind

A cold front blew in last night and so I thought it would be a perfect night for crockpot chili! Lucky for me, there was this chili recipe in my new Hungry Girl cookbook I received for Christmas:) We didn't get to come home form lucy because as mentioned yesterday we work at a university and first day of classes is tomorrow! So we prepared everything before we left for work! It turned out AWESOME

The other day my mom and I went to Sun Harvest Sprouts ( I am still adjusting to the new name), and we were at the check out counter and my mom picked up this bag of popcorn and put it in her basket. She asked if I wanted some. I said ok but when I checked the back of the package I noticed it has 8 grams of fat! I though, oh well, my husband will like this:) When I got home I figured out the PP

When I got home from my walk with my mother I decided to make some chocolate chip cookies (Suzy homemake, doesn't have anything on me:) But i saw these on the WW site for a couple days and every day and it kept catching my eye. I am not a big fan of chocolate but these did not disappointment!  Ingredients:  2 Tbsp salted butter, softened   2 tsp canola oil 1/2 cups packed brown

This is a very busy time for my husband and I. We both work at a college and the beginning of semester so I knew we would both be very tired when we came home today SO I dececded it would be a crock pot night!! Boy that was a great idea...if I must say so myself!  And what makes it even better is that my husband put everything together while I was working through lunch! What a sweetie:) Here

For dinner tonight I made something that tasted quite nice ALTHOUGH it was little spicy for me:) But that was my husband's fault (it is easier to blame him than to take the blame myself:)! He bought Texas Style BBQ sauce instead of regular....good thing he is cute:) Here are the details: Ingredients: 14 oz of lean (96/4) ground beef 1 small onion diced 2/3 cup of BBQ sauce ( I try to use

Today we woke up extra early (for Sunday) and headed to church and helped my generous father make breakfast for the church.  We made taquitos and fruit. I had every intention of eating the taquitos and the fruit (and tracking them:) But after running around, burning my hands and only having 3 minutes to get to our seats, I thought I would wait and cook this omelet recipe I saw on Hungry Girl

This weekend was full of 2 yummy dinners and 1 delicious breakfast! It is amazing how awesome these meals were and amazing low in points plus values. So let's begin: Saturday night I cooked a delightful dinner that I must admit I was a little weary when I started making it. SO my best advice is to cook it with skepticism and then when you are done, smile and think: WOW THIS WAS GREAT!!
