Questions, Questions, Questions...

There are many days where I do go over my points, usually within a 5-10 range. However, I also know that for 5 days a week I am working out very hard and am burning around 600 calories, so I know I can go a bit over with activity points. How are you guys doing with your daily points? Do you go over? Do you feel they are sufficient? Do you guys have a system? For example I try to keep my snacks to 2 points, and my meals 5 points each.

***Recipe Alert: Turkey Ham and Swiss Quesadilla***

The other night I made turkey ham and swiss cheese quesadilla's and they were fantastic and super easy to make! Here's are the deets on the recipe (for one serving): One Whole Wheat soft taco shell (I like LaBanderita) Two ounces of Jennie O Turkey Ham One slice of 2% Swiss Cheese Pepper to taste Mustard to you liking One teaspoon of EVOO

1. Coat ONE side of the soft taco shell with EVOO
2. On the side NOT coated with EVOO, spread the turkey ham on half of the soft taco
3. Cut the cheese in fourths, lengthwise, and top the turkey ham with this
4. Season with pepper and mustard
5. Fold the other half the soft taco over the the ham and cheese
6. Heat your skillet on your stove, once hot, place the ham and cheese quesadilla in the skillet
7. Take a heavier skillet and place this on top of the quesadilla, to weight the quesadilla down and brown the other side -about a minute
8. Remove the heavier skillet, flip the quesadilla and place the heavier skillet on top again, to weigh down and brown the other side -about a minute
9. Remove from heat and allow the quesadilla to cool for a couple of minutes
10. Cut into 6 triangles and enjoy!!

This recipe has 5 WW points add some veggies or a salad to this and you've got yourself a great meal :-)

It's Not You....It's Me...

Hello Everyone, As some of you may have noticed, my posts have been pretty sporatic the past few days. This is mainly due to my job hunt. However, I am happy to report I am now working for a wonderful company :-) Although I am working, I absolutely LOVE talking to you all and still want to continue to be a part of your lives and help you through your journey of a healthy lifestyle by providing you with great recipes and tips.

Good Morning Everyone, This morning for breakfast I just had a glass of milk. Today seems like it will be a rushed day, so Ill probably reach for a snack in a bit. How was your breakfast?

***Daily Round Up***

Hey Guys, Here's my round up after lunch. I had Key Lime yogurt for a snack (I'm telling you, I have a ton of yogurt to finish :-p). That was 2 points. For dinner I made a turkey ham and cheese quesadilla for 4 WW points. For dessert I had a 100 calorie cookie pack, 2 points right there. I also had trail mix...oops..4 WW pts. So, I went a bit over my points today, but not too bad. How was your day today?
