Day 3: Tracking Challenge ~ Super Easy Cheese!

January 12, 2012 by DanicasDaily 12 Comments

Happy Wednesday all!  You all are doing FANTASTIC with the 100% tracking challenge.  Can you believe we are half way through the challenge with 3 days down (glass half full!)  Keep up the good work and I have no doubt the scale is going to show it! Since I am late with tonight’s recap, tonight is going to be a FAST post.

Here is my Summary Tracker for today ~ Feel free to copy and paste this format and insert your food below.

  • B ~ 1 cup oatmeal (4), 2 Tbsp dried cranberries (1), 1 Tbsp brown sugar (1), 2 Tbsp Granola (2)
  • L ~ Turkey Burger (4), 100% Whole Wheat Thin Bun (3), lettuce, tomato, onion, 1 Tbsp “secret sauce” (1), Jalapeno Pop Chips (2), Spicy Peanut Asian Slaw (1)
  • S ~ Banana
  • D ~ 1 Cheesy Meatloaf (7), 1 cup green beans (1)
  • DS ~ Reese’s Peanut Butter Heart (5)

Total 32 Daily Points+, listing your WPA used/balance is optional

Today started with a banana and quite possibly my FAVORITE new coffee called German Chocolate Cake made by Timothy’s!

When I got in, I went to the Oatmeal Bar and mixed up this delicious cup. The oatmeal itself is Simply Filling ~ just count the points+ for any toppers or use fruit for a 100% SF breakfast.

My lunch today was awesome ~ it totally left me thinking I cannot wait to have it again.

Jennie-O Turkey Burger on a 100% Whole Wheat Thin Bun with all the fixin’s (8 points+)

Plus Jalapeno Pop Chips!! (2 points+) ~ they have a mild spice, but, a whole lotta crunch!

MMMM ~ Why not grill up burgers to have them all week or lunches?!  The burger with all the fixin’s is Simply Filling ~ just count the points+ if you use mayo in your secret sauce.

Since I knew I had meetings all afternoon, I rounded out my lunch with 1 cup of Spicy Asian Slaw ~ red cabbage + carrots topped with 1 Tbsp Trader Joe’s LF Spicy Peanut Vinaigrette (1 points+)

The Husband actually cooked dinner with the nephews and had it ready as soon as I walked in the door ~ I LOVE HIM!

Especially when he serves up Burgers without a Bun (7 points+) ~ This recipe is Simply Filling IF you use fat free cheese and make your own breadcrumbs from reduced calorie breads.  You would have to count the points+ for the ketchup.

You can find the recipe over at Cooking Light by clicking here.

Green Beans topped with Whipped Butter, Garlic Salt and Pepper (1 points+)

This dinner is so easy to make ~ it takes less than 40 minutes to make and it’s so cheesy good!

The END! (5 points+)
