(No Workout Today) Easy Oven Catfish

I didn't get up until noon today. I was up with heartburn all night long, so miserable :(  When I got up I went straight to all the housework. Tomorrow I'll start working out for sure. I ate really good today though.  Tonight's E-Meal was an Easy Oven Catfish, Rice Pilaf and Green Beans with Almonds.

Whew I Completely Took the Day Off

I found the chocolate that I was craving in the form of hot cocoa with Cool Whip on top. (It was light if that counts) Mmmm better than having marshmallows on top.

I had some rice pudding but the rice absorbed all the milk so I added some more and topped it with coconut. Not bad... definitely cured me of my sweet tooth.

When my honey got home he found me with the curtains drawn, curled up on the couch watching Netflix. I was in need of something salty and sent him to the store for some Doritos. Nacho cheese Doritos with Valentina hot sauce is my favorite. Together we shared a plate with him eating the majority.

While he was at the store though I made some deviled eggs. I shared with my grandmother, the cat and my honey. I only had two halves.

And to finish the night we had a steak that's been sitting in the freezer for a while with some creamed corned. Accompanied with the last diet soda in the house.

I'm probably going to pay for it on the scale tomorrow but it was worth it felt great today. Tomorrow we're back to having our E-Mealz and on the menu is Oven Baked Catfish, Green Beans with Almonds and Rice Pilaf. It's the beginning of my week and I'll be remembering this meal to keep me motivated in working out hard.

Dinner- Oops

It was definitely not the most healthiest of dinners but I didn't go to bed hungry and I didn't blow my calories. I love popcorn with the Parmesan Garlic seasoning. Yummy!

Broccoli Chicken Fettuccine

Tonight's E-Meal was good and bad. The Broccoli Chicken Fettuccine was kind of bland. I had to add salt to it and I felt really bad when I realized I haven't salted anything this week. The Strawberry Spinach salad on the other hand was amazing. I'm going to buy some more strawberries tomorrow to have this with my lunches. The combination of balsamic vinaigrette and strawberries was really nice.

Why did it take me this long to eat like this. I really do love it. And I'm only spending $35- $45 a week (plus what I need for breakfast and lunch) on groceries for the 2 of us.

The next couple of  meals are going to be repeats because I have leftover ingredients that I want to use up before going shopping for this weeks menu.

Cobb Salad Pita

Tonight's E-Meal had a cole slaw version made with Broccoli slaw. Very crunchy! I'm getting used to these light portions.

I have to confess... I had a McDouble tonight too. We went out right before dinner time and I was starving. I ordered it without cheese :)

I got my Gold's Gym Cardio Workout game today and did a little bit of a workout. I only got a 137 punch count to start. I'm not sure how many calories I'm burning though.

Cheddar Cauliflower Soup

This soup was supper easy and very delicious. Served with a toasted pita and yummy! This weeks E-Mealz came out today and I'm really looking forward to pretty much everything on the menu.

My husband really was craving some meat with this meal and added some diced pork chop to his pita. I was bad and picked at it. I was drawn to the fatty pieces though and feel really guilty about it.

I did my Walk It Out a little before dinner and again afterwards since I felt so guilty.

Cheeseburger Pie

Tonights E-Meal was made with pancake batter which was a real surprise. It was different at first but so nice and fluffy. I need to start eating earlier though. We didn't even have dinner until 8pm. You're supposed to stop eating 3 hours before bed and I would like to be in bed before 11pm.


I fit in another quick walk with the Walk It Out before dinner.

Lemon & Oregano Tilapia

Today is Valentine's Day and even though we were not able to go out to eat it was really nice to have strawberries. They were pretty sour so we had to add a little bit of Splenda.

I wasn't too hungry to begin with and I'm kinda glad because this E-meal I doubt would have satisfied me. I got all my water in today and I think that is what really helped me. I can't wait until tomorrow nights Cheeseburger Pie.

Ham & Spinach Couscous

Tonights E-Meal had a 1/4 cup of ham per serving of couscous and has really left me yet again wondering where's my meat. My whole life I've been totally backwards with how much meat I should be eating. Really meat would take up about half the plate with a quarter going to potatoes and a quarter to a different vegetable. I'm really missing my meat. Even more so with tonights dish. I felt like my couscous was just a side dish instead of the main dish. Sure it was tasty and has left me what I think is satisfied. (Not really sure if it was the couscous or the water I just downed) This is my first time trying couscous and I liked it. I'm just hoping its not on the menu anytime soon again. It would do really good for my lunch though.

Lemon Pepper Catfish

This E-Mealz was scheduled for three days ago and unfortunately wasn't completely as great as it could be. The apples and the slaw are leftovers from other meals this week. The slaw was definately not as good as the first night I made it.

I don't remember ever having catfish before so this was nice to try something new. I tried broiling it but my stove started smoking and my baking pan started to warp so I baked it a little longer than the recipe called for. Lemon Pepper seasoning offered the perfect compliment.

Dinner

So weigh in was great! Dinner... not so much. I was mad at my honey and to rock the boat I went out to McDonalds and got a Quarter Pounder and a Double Quarter Pounder combo. My honey about went through the roof when he thought I was going to eat the Double. Hee hee!
I know I know...

Double Oops!

My honey got paid today and was kinda in a depressed mood so we went out. I think he gets depressed being home all the time. We agreed that we'd split a dozen oysters and treat ourselves. It's been a long time since we've had any from the oyster bar. Four days away from Valentine's we'll celebrate a little early. They were SO nice and plump.

Last night we watched Man V. Food here in Las Vegas. And as soon as we started to talk about what we needed for tonight's dinner we both thought about going to the Hot N Juicy Crawfish that we'd seen on his show. Ah wth let's try it out. We haven't been there yet and I want to be prepared for when my mother comes to visit. It was great to try a new place and enjoy some really good food that I didn't have to cook. But I'm sure it was over my calorie limit. Unfortunately I'm not even really sure where to look to find the nutrient facts for this.

Feeling guilty about my dinner and the little bit that we had exercised this morning my honey and I decided to work out. Or at least Walk It Out :) We walked for an hour but because we both were playing together it didn't break down the statistics. I'm just estimating that I burned about 300 calories.

Oops!

My honey and I hit a bump in our relationship Tuesday night and I went to stay with a friend. I completely wanted to swing by and pick up a pizza from Little Ceasers. I'm proud to say that I resisted temptation and went with a chicken breast sub from Subway. I'm very proud of myself!

When I went back home the next morning I completely was not in the mood to workout since I didn't get much sleep. So I snoozed all day and had a small lunch. For dinner I had my E-Mealz that I had planned for the previous night.

Mmmm Delicious!! Oven Bag Pork Tenderloin, Yellow Rice and Roasted Garlic Carrots. But again the portion of meat was so tiny. I had half of a helping extra of the rice and carrots. I didn't have breakfast so I figured I could have a little extra :)

Mmm Meatloaf

Delish!! I'm really craving seconds even though I'm stuffed. I just don't feel satisfied. I just want another bite of the delicious meatloaf we had tonight. This is the 2nd night that we've tried the E-Mealz and my honey is in complete favor of it. It's so nice to see the plate loaded with fruits and vegetables. Kinda sad to see a tiny portion of meat in comparison to what we're accustomed to. But I'll get used to it... I hope.
