Well my “new start” is off to a great start!! 🙂 Wednesday went really well eating-wise and exercise-wise! I can do this!!!
I am needing to use up the rest of the wheatberries I cooked this weekend so in my breakfast it went again!! 🙂 It’s not too much of a burden though – I love the chew and texture it gives to my oatmeal! Today I decided to do 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup RF vanilla soy milk, 1/4 cup wheatberries, cinnamon, and one of those teeny cute little boxes of raisins! I absolutely LOVE raisins in oatmeal!!! Well, I love raisins in anything, but especially oatmeal!
Trust me, it tasted better than it looks!
Breakfast = 315 calories
Snack was simple and easy – a defrosted Vitamuffin. I really love these things! They’re so easy and healthy and filling! This one was AppleBerry Bran – my favorite!!

This morning I had NO clue what to pack for lunch and didn’t have the time to sit and decide, so I made up my mind and decided to do a PB&J sandwich since I had some Homemade Strawberry Jam thawed out in the fridge at work. I haven’t had a classic PB&J sandwich for a long time! My picture looks kind of funny because I couldn’t decide if I wanted the sandwich on bread or toast, so I decided to do one piece of each! 🙂 Problem solved!
My day is going fairly fast – I love that! It helps knowing that we have an extended weekend coming up with the holiday!!! And, as of now they’re predicting great weather (70’s and sunny) so I am hoping it stays that way!
For a snack, I decided to finally make my “Apple Pie Enchilada”!!! I will post the recipe sometime today! But for now, here’s a sneak preview 🙂

After work it was time to hit the gym. I was somewhat nervous because I haven’t been lifting weights as often lately – I’ve been doing more cardio with trips to the dog park because it’s been so nice outside and it gives Baylee the exercise she desperately needs 🙂 Since it was a gorgeous day outside, I decided to leave my car at work and WALK to the gym!! It’s about a 15 minute walk so it was a great warm up to my workout!! I got there and did about 30 minutes of weights, and then took a loooong way back to my car. The total workout was about 75 minutes.
Workout = 310 calories burned
I was looking forward to supper ALL DAY LONG! I knew what I was going to be making but have never done it before – Chicken Parmesan. SO easy I don’t know why I haven’t!!
Basically, all I did was first bake some chicken breasts until they were cooked through. I then placed them in a baking dish, and added a can (I used Hunt’s) of spaghetti sauce. I baked that for another 10 minutes or so until the sauce was hot. After it was hot, I added about 1/4 cup of LF Mozarella cheese on top of each chicken breast. Meanwhile, I cooked some WW Angel Hair Pasta. I took about 3/4 cup of pasta and placed a chicken breast on top. Ta Da! With it, I made some Joseph Champione (sp?) Light Garlic Bread and whipped up a salad with fresh blueberries and blackberries! It was SO good! Chad even commented like 4 times while we were eating how good it was! That’s always a good sign 🙂
Supper = 425 calories
We then took Baylee for a walk together.
Walk = 110 calories burned
