Two Weeks of Groceries...

Earlier this week, I had a breakthrough, a realization that I started eating out a lot more at the cafeteria, McDonald's, or whatever I saw; this was because I had no food at my house. None that I deemed "healthy" enough to bring for lunch or cook for dinner.

So, last night, I trekked to Aldi in the cold and bought two weeks of groceries for $67. No I am not kidding. I got the idea and the lists for what to make at the Kraft Foods website. It's a neat section under "Budget Wi$e" where you can fit 5 dinners in 1 bag. I would like to debate how big their bag was, but it still saved me a lot of money and kept me on track at the grocery store!
Tonight, I am going to make Taco Salad, which sounds absolutely delicious. I am excited, because I can make two servings and bring one for lunch tomorrow. My only msitake is that I forgot to by tortilla chips, but that makes it even a little healthier! But, I may have to go out and buy a mini bag of Fritos. I'll let you know how it tastes :) For those who were wondering, this is 12 PointsPlus values.
 

Also, this morning I had a stellar breakfast sandwich you all have to know about. It was called the Rise&Shine, and I got it at my gym cafe. But, it seems so easy to make at home!
All you need is:
-1 large tortilla
-2 egg whites
-2 tbsp salsa
-1 slice of your favorite cheese, I got provolone
-1 cup of fresh spinach
- 2-3 slices of pre-cooked bacon

Simply, whip up the egg whites in a pan, and put everything in the tortilla. Wrap up like a burrito and viola! Only 8 PointsPlus values, and it is extremely filling. Almost beats a greasy sausage biscuit that makes you feel icky.

Well, Operation 20 has ceased in existence BUT, I am on track to lose even MORE weight than I ever thought I could. After joining Weight Watchers (and started to pay attention), I have lost 13lbs! I am so excited that I can see the weight melting off. I cannot wait to look HOT in that wedding dress and laying in a bikini (for the first time EVER) on the beach.
