Ingrediments (as I call them, lol):
2 russet potatoes
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Crazy Jane's Mixed Up Salt
ground pepper
2 ground beef patty
2 Borden sliced american cheese
2 Oroweat Sandwich Thins, multi-grain
I cut the potatoes in wedges (6 per potato), skins on, and put them in a plastic baggie, added the olive oil, salt and pepper and mixed it all together. I baked them in the oven for 35 minutes, turning once or twice so they could brown on both sides. David grilled the ground beef patties, added the cheese and we put them on Sandwich thins (instead of big burger buns).
It was yummy. David got his first and sat down and said, "you'll probably want to just give me those potatoes, they're not very good *wink, wink*" (meaning they were so good he wanted mine too!). When I took the first bite of the potato wedges I was quite happy at how they turned out. I have to thank my friend Lisa for telling me how to make them. They were easy to prepare and cook. Probably 45 minutes from start to finish. The whole meal was 12 points. Kind of a lot but worth it. Dessert will be fruit (probably a pear and/or watermelon).
I'm really happy with the meals that we are having and extremely glad that David is helping out by doing all the grilling. Here in Colorado we can grill throughout the year so I'll be planning on the nice days to do something on the grill when it works out. David is tracking all of his food (without me saying anything). We sit together and figure out how to enter everything. I try to plan out the meal ahead of time and that makes it easier when David has a question. Plus I know my PPV's for my food before I make a meal. Doing that helps me to make changes when something doesn't look good (too high PPV).
This is my fourth Friday on the plan and I can't believe I'm still sticking with it. I usually last a day or two on a diet but since this is a lifestyle change I'm more into doing it all (tracking, meetings, changing diet, etc.). I'm happy at how well it has been going. I have to admit that I stepped on the scale at home today and it showed I was down another pound which is nice. I know it fluctuates day to day, so I try not to get on the scale very often at home. I like the surprise (hopefully good) at weigh in day. I'm already looking forward to next Wednesday no matter which way it goes. I can learn from the week behind me and use it to make the week ahead better.
Well, it's Friday. David has to work tomorrow so I may put Bayou in daycare again for just a half a day. I have little errands to do (gas up the car, get dog food) but not much beside that. I hope everyone has a great weekend and stays OP.
