Well I am happy to report that this weekend I didn't totally blow it like last weekend! I really think the key is getting my butt up and going to the gym on Saturday morning. Our gym has the day care open Monday-Saturday 8-8 but is closed on Sunday so I can't go on Sunday's. It is awesome getting up on my sleep-in day and get my butt sweating.
And I stayed within my calories all weekend.
We had a couple of friends over on Saturday night so I tried a new recipe from Pinterest but tweeked it to make it low(ER) fat.
The recipe is called Million-Dollar-Spaghtetti from Being a Grown Up.
It should be called million-calorie-spaghetti.
Why in the world would you put a whole stick of butter in baked spaghetti?
I don't know. But anyway this is how I made it...
-1 Pound Ground Chicken (instead of ground beef)
-Homemade low sugar spaghetti sauce
-Whole wheat spaghetti noodles (This was my first time eating whole wheat noodles and I am now obsessed. So good!)
-4 oz. of fat free cream cheese
-1/4 cup of light sour cream (I think fat free sour cream is too watery and yuck)
1/2 cup of fat free cottage cheese
-NO BUTTER (the recipe calls for a whole stick)
-I sprinkled it with Parmesan cheese not cheddar and didn't use very much.
I made my sauce and added the browned ground chicken to it. I don't like ground turkey and think it's too dry. Ground chicken breast is juicy and low fat. Then I boiled the noodles and mixed together the cream cheese, cottage cheese, and sour cream. Spray a baking sheet and do a layer of noodles. Next spread the cream mixture over the noodles. Then another layer of noodles and top it with the sauce and sprinkle a little cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
It's really yummy. Not exactly healthy but not totally terrible for a weekend dinner. Hazel absolutely loved it and the left overs are great!
So this morning the very last thing I wanted to do was get my butt up and go to the gym. Anyone else feel this way after there day off? Like I get in the relaxing mode and then I have to force myself to go back.
But I got my butt up and went to Hot Yoga and I am SO glad that I did. It was just what I needed to start my week off right.

I also want to say that this is the longest I have been consistent with eating better and exercising consistently! I usually get to the 10 pounds loss mark and then relax and gain it all back! I need ya'lls help to push through that and keep losing!
