However, I didn't exercise (I subbed all day) AND I drank about 4 vodka & sprite zeros AND two bottles of wine with Beth Ann! Whew! haha - that's probably why I'm seeing a lower number today...I'm dehydrated and craving bean dip & chips!! :)

1 cup chopped yellow onion (65 cal)
1 small tomato (20 cal), chopped
1 cup frozen corn (135 cal) ~ Sams bag (It calls for 1/2 cup but I accidently did 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chili powder (5)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour (I didn't use any)
1 can (15 to 16 ounces) Great Value Black Beans (385), rinsed and drained
6 multigrain tortillas (7-8" diameter) - I used 8 Great Value Buritto size tortilla (1440)
1 can (10 ounces) mild Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce (90)
1/3 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend (180)
chopped cilantro or parsley (optional)
3120 total/8 servings = 390 calories
+ 4 tbsp Old El Paso Fat free refried beans (35)
1/4 cup sour cream (30 cal/0 fat/6 carbs/2 pro)
2 tbsp mashed avocado (50 cal/4.5 fat/2.5 carbs/.5 pro)
17 Tostitos (140 cal)
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 13" x 9" baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the beef; cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up any chunks, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the onion, tomato, corn, and garlic; cook until the onion starts to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chili powder and oregano and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the beans.
3. Wrap the tortillas in between damp paper towels and microwave until warm, 20 to 40 seconds. Working one at a time, place a tortilla on a work surface and top with 1/2 cup of the beef mixture spread in a line across the center, parallel to the edge of the counter closest to you. Roll up jelly roll- style and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Pour the sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until hot and the cheese has melted, 18 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro or parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

Wow I haven't blogged in forever! I have weighed myself every day this week and was a steady 118.4 lbs - I thought my scale must be broken because it seems to 'set' itself on one weight and not flucuate, but today it was different, so I guess it's right. I finally bought batteries this past weekend, but probably should have just forked over the money for a new scale. I don't know if I trust it...
My half-marathon is next Saturday. I would like to monitor my calorie intake this next week and make sure I am eating the right foods before a big race so my goal is blog every day (at least this week anyway)!
Later - well Steve and I aren't running the half-marathon! This morning he decided we weren't well enough to jog it out, but when I went to register for the 10K, the race was already full! Oh well - apparently it wasn't meant to be, but it sure gave me a good goal. I think we will do one in June so I will just keep training and work on toning up for the summer & Jeff's wedding!

I have been weighing myself sporadically in the past week & was surprised that this morning's weight was the exact same as last time I posted...I need to get a new scale - this one is driving me crazy - the battery is about dead. I have spent three times the amount on batteries than what the scale is even worth.

Total 1595/14 servings = 115 cal
I topped my 1 1/2 cup serving (175) & 2 corn tortillas (120 cal) with:
2 tbsp refried beans (40 cal)
1/2 cups shredded lettuce (5 cal)
2 tbsp shredded cheese (45 cal)
2 tbsp Daisy Lite Sour Cream (40 cal)
2 tbsp mashed avocado (50 cal)
Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a large skillet, brown beef and drain. Add onions, garlic and green peppers. Cook until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat. Toss together with cooked rice, salsa, and olives. Transfer to a greased 2-quart baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 45-50 minutes. Warm tortillas and roll casserole up. Top with your choice of lettuce, cheese, beans, and sour cream.
This recipe made a TON - I portioned it out into 1/2 cup servings & there were 14...I froze the other 7 servings to eat later.

Ham & Potato Soup (335 for 1 1/2 cup)
Ingredients
3 peeled and diced red potatoes (330)
1/3 cup diced celery (5)
1/3 cup finely chopped onion (20)
3/4 cup diced cooked ham (400)
3 1/4 cups water

Directions
Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham and water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt and pepper.
In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute.

Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.

Exercise: Thank goodness Steve took me to the gym...According the treadmill I ran 3.5 miles in 39 minutes, but my iPod said I ran 4.28 miles in the same time...I think I need to recalibrate my iPod...

11/09 ~ 120.4 lbs
I was glad to see 120.4 lbs on the scale this a.m....I ate pretty poorly over the weekend, but stuck with last week's meal plan & that at least paid off....
11/01 ~ Meal Plan
My battery is dead so I have no idea about my weight, but after a week of poor eating, having the stomach flu, and not feeling my usual self, I have declared that my old eating habits are NOT good for my system. Back to eating fresh!! Here is my meal plan for the week ~ I usually don't do this much pasta in one week, but with the stomach flu, noodles are the only thing that sounds good right now (as I am meal planning):
Monday:
Lunch ~ leftover Chicken noodle soup
Dinner ~ Penne Primavera
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Penne-Primavera/Detail.aspx
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 cups broccoli florets
1 medium carrot, julienned
2 cups vegetable broth
1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Heat the olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. When garlic is tender, remove from skillet and set aside. Place the broccoli and carrot in the skillet, and cook 2 minutes, just until heated through.
In a pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the penne pasta and heated crushed garlic clove. Cook for 5 minutes, or until pasta is almost al dente. Remove and discard garlic clove.
Transfer the partially cooked pasta and broth to the skillet. Mix in the peas. Cover skillet, and continue cooking 10 minutes over medium heat, or until pasta is al dente and vegetables are tender. Toss with the Parmesan cheese to serve.
Tuesday
Lunch ~ Lettuce, red pepper, avocado & ham wraps: This wrap is slightly altered from the one in the south beach diet book. I am going on a field trip with Ally & need something that will be easy & quick to eat.
Dinner ~ Veggie Lasagna
http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/recipe/pasta/veggie-lasagna/
Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 1/2 cups zucchini, sliced
2 cups sliced fresh portobello mushrooms
1 cup fat-free ricotta
3 tablespoons finely shredded Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 whole-wheat no-boil lasagna noodles
2 cups prepared pasta sauce
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1/2 cup chopped, seeded tomato
Directions
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, zucchini and mushrooms; heat 5 minutes or until tender, stirring ( I think I am going to put this in the food processor after heating ~ I will let you know how that works out!!). Remove from heat; set aside. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta, Parmesan and pepper.
To assemble, place 3 lasagna noodles in the bottom of a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Spoon half the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
Top with half the veggie mixture, half the pasta sauce and half the mozzarella. Layer with remaining noodles, ricotta mixture, veggie mixture and sauce.
Bake, uncovered, in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with tomato and remaining mozzarella. Bake 5 minutes more or until heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Cut into 6 pieces.
Wednesday
Lunch ~ Guacamole Dip (FB Page 59)
Dinner ~ Tilapia with Mrs. Dash & Double Broccoli Quinoa
http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/double-broccoli-quinoa-recipe.html
Double Broccoli Quinoa
3 cups cooked quinoa
5 cups raw broccoli, cut into small florets and stems
3 medium garlic cloves
2/3 cup sliced or slivered almonds, toasted
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 big pinches salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup heavy cream
Optional toppings: slivered basil, sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese
Directions:
Heat the quinoa and set aside.
Now barely cook the broccoli by pouring 3/4 cup water into a large pot and bringing it to a simmer. Add a big pinch of salt and stir in the broccoli. Cover and cook for a minute, just long enough to take the raw edge off. Transfer the broccoli to a strainer and run under cold water until it stops cooking. Set aside.
To make the broccoli pesto puree two cups of the cooked broccoli, the garlic, 1/2 cup of the almonds, Parmesan, salt, and lemon juice in a food processor. Drizzle in the olive oil and cream and pulse until smooth.
Just before serving, toss the quinoa and remaining broccoli florets with about 1/2 of the broccoli pesto. Taste and adjust if needed, you might want to add more of the pesto a bit at a time, or you might want a bit more salt or an added squeeze of lemon juice. Turn out onto a serving platter and top with the remaining almonds, and some sliced avocado or any of the other optional toppings.

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 slender zucchini, halved lengthwise, sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces

1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1/2 cup chopped, seeded tomato
Directions
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, zucchini and mushrooms; heat 5 minutes or until tender, stirring ( I think I am going to put this in the food processor after heating ~ I will let you know how that works out!!). Remove from heat; set aside. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta, Parmesan and pepper.
To assemble, place 3 lasagna noodles in the bottom of a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Spoon half the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
Top with half the veggie mixture, half the pasta sauce and half the mozzarella. Layer with remaining noodles, ricotta mixture, veggie mixture and sauce.
Bake, uncovered, in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with tomato and remaining mozzarella. Bake 5 minutes more or until heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Cut into 6 pieces.

Well, I am like Julie - I can't believe it has been so long since my last entry. However, my body sure can tell - I have been taking it easy on the workouts and filling in the gaps with FOOD AND ALCOHOL....whew - I feel like I have been on vacation for two weeks and still have two weeks to go! haha
I weighed myself last Thursday but didn't log on & now my scale battery is dead...so as of last week, I was still doing ok with the numbers, but I sure am bloated wayyyy more than I was a month ago!

Good morning! :)
Last night I had slow-cooker chicken cacciatorie (it has mushrooms, but would be good without it) from page 289 in the 400-calorie fix book...it was sooooo good! The sauce needed to be a bit thicker, but I will definitely fix it again.
Activity:
Not sure what I will do this morning...got up late & need to eat breakfast...may just take a walk or bike ride around the block.
