I have eaten a lot of fruit today. Way more than I usually ever eat. I ate a couple bananas for breakfast, and some grapes. And throughout the day, I have 2-3 pounds of grapes, about 3-4 bananas, and 3-4 oranges. I hardly ate any “real” food. I had a little bit of leftover chili for lunch. And my wife made a low fat veggie lasagne for dinner. I had couple pieces of that. I am still hungry. Maybe I’ll make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
I weighed 171.2 this morning, but I have no clue what I am going to weight tomorrow morning. Yeah I ate two plus pounds of grapes, but they are mostly water. The oranges have a lot of water in them too.
Then I ran 7 miles on the treadmill burning up over 800 calories. Then I did an aikido class this morning. So who knows.
Maybe I’ll make a tuna sandwich with reduced calorie mayonaise.
I love books! I own literally thousands of books. I also enjoy cooking. So my collection obviously includes cook books. My favorites are the ones from restaurants. I love making meals like you would get in a fancy restaurant. But I did own a few diet and low fat cooking books.
Among the handfull of diet cook books that I picked up somewhere were a few Weight Watchers cook books. Here are the ones I already had:
Weight Watchers Quick And Easy Cookbook
Weight Watchers Meals In Minutes Cookbook
Weight Watchers Healthy Life-Style Cookbook
Recently my wife started (or re-started) the Weight Watchers program. One little pamphlet she brought home had an ad for the cook book WeightWatchers My TurnAround Program Cookbook. It mentioned that it included “restaurant favorites made at home”. So I ordered it off of eBay. Interestingly, reading about this cookbook elsewhere didn’t seem to mention the restaurant aspect.
But in reading about that cookbook, I read about WeightWatchers Take-Out Tonight. Now this cook specifically say on the cover 150+ restaurant favorites to make at home.
These two cookbooks came in today’s mail. I was flipping through the Weight Watchers Take-Out Tonight cookbook, and found a Chimichanga recipe that sounds really good. We may have that for dinner tomorrow night.
