Day 2

148.5 lbs.

I am STILL sore. One of my New Year’s resolutions was to go to free Yoga class at work on Tuesdays with my co-worker Sarah. So I am going to try going today even though the chance of my arms supporting the downward dog into facing the sun move is highly unlikely.

A few things…

Steve came up with a delicious little snack. Blueberries combined with a mix of semi-sweet and white chocolate chips. Very yummy. About 70 calories in one TBSP of chips though, so keep the portion small. Just a heavenly little palette cleanser  People (me) forget how good white chocolate chips are.

Also, we tried a pasta recipe from Hungry Girl last night… the “Hungry Girl-fredo.” I get cravings for creamy cheesy things almost as much as chocolate, so this was a must-try for me. Turns out, it was PRET-TY good. The pasta was the only thing that took away from the overall awesomeness. Hungry Girl uses “House Foods Tofu Shirataki” noodles, which are tofu-based noodles. They’re in the fridge section, in single serving packages in water. They’re a little slimy, which is the only indication that it’s not real pasta. But the recipe was only 81 calories! We went ahead and added some grilled chicken and it was really good and really filling. A recommendation we didn’t try was throwing the noodles in a pan after you drain them and such to further eliminate any sliminess. To be fair, slimy is too strong a word, this meal was really good and one I’ll be eating again. But we ARE going to try the pan thing to see if we can make it even better.

I’ll post photos/links later. Ciao!

  1. YUCK! If those noodles are what I think they are, I can't believe you even got them down better yet are saying that slimy is too strong of a word. I have to double check, but I'm fairly certain I ordered those noodles with my mom and gagged just trying to chew on one of them. They are slimy and chewy and nasty.
