Friday - Friday morning was a spinach, berry vanilla smoothie. I took a different approach for lunch today. I decided to bring some turkey and ham roll ups. I rolled up swiss cheese, turkey and ham. Then I brought some mustard for dipping the roll ups. I also brought a baked sweet potato and some roasted beets. I also brought some cut up veggies and a tangerine. I like having a variety of lunch options. I have gotten a little bored with my usual salad, so I am trying to try different ways of eating a lot of veggies at lunch. For dinner I cooked some chicken in a General Tso's with Chili Garlic sauce in the slow cooker. To accompany this I made Cauliflower "Fried Rice" from Skinny Taste.

- 1 medium head (about 24 oz) cauliflower, rinsed
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 egg whites
- 1 large egg
- pinch of salt
- cooking spray
- 1/2 small onion, diced fine
- 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 5 scallions, diced, whites and greens separated
- 3 tbsp soy sauce,
Directions:
Remove the core and let the cauliflower dry completely. Coarsely chop into florets, then place half of the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is small and has the texture of rice or couscous – don't over process or it will get mushy. Set aside and repeat with the remaining cauliflower.
Combine egg and egg whites in a small bowl and beat with a fork. Season with salt.
Heat a large saute pan or wok over medium heat and spray with oil. Add the eggs and cook, turning a few times until set; set aside.
Add the sesame oil and saute onions, scallion whites, peas and carrots and garlic about 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft.
Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the cauliflower "rice" to the pan along with soy sauce. Mix, cover and cook approximately 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is slightly crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Add the egg then remove from heat and mix in scallion greens.

| Slow Cooker General Tso's with Cauliflower Fried "Rice" |
Saturday - Saturday was a busy day getting the house ready for the Super Bowl Party. We have finally started to decorate and hang art work. We got started early with a trip to Home Goods and Home Depot. Andy got a grill, so we don't have to cook everything on the baby Weber. It seems like the house is really starting to come along.
Sunday- Sunday we had a super bowl party, so there was lots of cleaning and getting some stuff got the house. We finally got a mirror for the black and white bathroom and a cabinet for above the toilet for our bathroom. I made some buffalo meatballs for the party and cut up lots of veggies for a veggie tray. I tried little bits of everything but didn't go overboard with any one item. It was great getting to show our friends the work we have been doing on the house and actually showing them the house. We set up a tv on the back porch and watched the super bowl out there. After the Patriots win, we used the hot tub.
Monday - I was too tired the night before to think about preparing lunch or breakfast. So for breakfast I grabbed a granola bar and some fruit. For lunch I got an Asian Chicken salad at work which was delicious. I snacked on the fruit that I had brought and drank tons of water. For dinner I had the leftover meatballs on a salad. It was perfect.
Tuesday- I made a banana chocolate protein shake for breakfast. Lunch was provided because of a meeting I had. It was thai food so I carefully chose what to eat. I ate a little bit of the chicken dish and a small portion of veggies noodles. I then made sure that I snaked on fruit of veggies the rest of the day. For dinner Andy and I made a large batch of tuna salad. We used avocado instead of mayo and added lots of veggies to the salad. We ate it on top of a salad loaded with veggies.
Wednesday - For breakfast it was another banana protein shake. Lunch was half of a chicken sandwich with fruit as a side. For dinner, Andy wanted to make clam chowder. So I went to my new favorite website to find a WW friendly clam chowder. I found this awesome recipe for Clam Chowder. It wasn't as thick as we would have liked it but it was bursting with flavor.
Weigh in- I was a bit nervous going into this weeks weigh in because I was disappointed after last week. But I was thrilled with my results. I lost 1.4 lbs which has brought my total weight loss to 10 lbs. I also am under 165....So I am going to buy myself some flowers today!! Only 4.2 to go until I am at my weight watchers goal!
