Well I am officially admitting I am sick! Dang Nabbit! I hate being sick and I don't have time for it. As a result I am not cooking today. I know I know, but to be honest I am not really eating either - to sick to. So I won't screw up my calorie intake today that is for sure.
Sunday was good. We did leftovers for lunch, which was good. Made more room in the fridge for the groceries we got on Monday. For dinner I did make Buffalo Chicken Salad from Cook Yourself Thin and it was really good. My daughter thought the chicken was too "zippy" though. The Blue Cheese dressing was very light and not at all heavy like normal blue cheese. Personally I would have wanted more dressing as I am a sauce fiend, but I know that is one of the worst contributors to high caloric foods.
Monday was shopping day and it took a lot out of me, being sick that is. So we just hit Costco and the grocery store as Sunday was Trader Joes day (man I hate their parking lot). For lunch we had Cheddar Melts minus the soup this time and dinner was Pork Medallions in Cherry Sauce by Ellie Krieger. With the pork I also made Sweet Potato Gratin from the Cook Yourself Thin Faster cookbook. It was so good!!!!! The two together was only 483 calories!
So today was chicken noodle soup for lunch and for dinner there is a can of Cream of Celery with my name on it. Lame I know, but I just don't feel good and can't handle anything more than soup. Hopefully this will pass soon!
PS: Not only am I down for the count due to illness, but I am down in weight too. When I left WA to move here, I was 137 pounds. I dropped a couple here in sunny CA as we are more active, but I am happy to say after weighing myself this morning I am down 10 pounds from August. Not too shabby - eh!!
