Happy Saturday all! Today has been such a fun day and it all started off with sleeping in, well, sleeping in for me until almost 7 am. Before heading out to stock up at the Farmer’s Market, I made up Sausage EggWiches for both of us.
My new favorite Thin Bun ~ Oroweat Honey Wheat ~ it’s soft, slightly sweet, nutty and it doesn’t taste diety either. Topped with a “fried” egg and a Morning Star Breakfast Sausage.
Simply Filling (SF) + 2 WPA for the sausage, 7 points+
Once we fueled up for breakfast, we were of and shopping. First up was the Farmer’s Market followed up by a trip to Home Goods, Kohl’s, Target and the grocery store.
I actually bought my tops one size smaller today ~ so cool! It definitely made me feel like I am seeing results from Simply Filling and getting back into my running groove. It’s a good thing that The Husband was with me or I may have just bought like every single thing I tried on because, well, it fit!
We stopped for lunch at Mary’s Pizza Shack for big salads. Our server actually brought us side salads, but, I went with it figuring it totally “justified” having bread with it.
Served up with ranch on the side for dipping (SF + 2 WPA) – 4 points+
Plus 2 pieces of straight from the oven sour dough (SF+3 WPA) – 3 points+
When we walked in the door, I got to work on prepping things for the week. I made up a batch of perfectly hard boiled eggs while The Husband chopped up watermelon and cantaloupe.
I snacked on some watermelon, cantaloupe and grapes while we put everything away.
There were such deals at today’s Farmer’s Market. I bought 6 roma tomatoes for $1, 4 jalapenos for $1, red onion for $0.25 and 3 sweet peppers for $1 just so I could make up a batch of Salsa Fresca. I am completely IN LOVE with tomatoes this year.
I also bought a bunch of other veggies to make up that Lemon Vegetable Barley Salad similar to the one I had last week.
I pondered keeping the huge container of blueberries to myself for the week or making up a batch of Blueberry Mini Muffins to share at my meeting tomorrow. I cannot believe how “blue” they turned out, but, I think it totally makes the muffins even more fun to eat.
Recipe coming up this week ~ they are 1 points+ each!
I have pretty much decided that Healthy Nachos is going on my list of FAVORITE meals to have. As in, I seriously could have them like once or twice or three times a week.
The SECRET INGREDIENT that makes THESE HEALTHY NACHOS awesome is BAKED Extra Thin Mission Tortilla Chips topped with sea salt.
Then again, it might have been the tomatoes from our garden!!! (yup, our tomato plant is STILL producing tomatoes – love that!)
Layered up with 1/2 cup Turkey Taco Meat, 1/2 oz low-fat sharp cheddar, tomatoes, green onion and pickled jalapenos.
Drizzled with big scoops of Salsa Fresca, 1 Tbsp Olives and 1/8 of an AVOCADO to cool things off.
SF + 6 WPA for the chips, olives and avocado, 10 points+

As much as I LOVE my Body Media (BM) Device, I am kind of excited to check out Weight Watchers new Active Link tomorrow. I have heard so many great things about it and I think it’s awesome that it syncs up with WW online. More details coming up tomorrow.
Night all!
I’m curious about ActiveLink too – is it additionally monthly $$ on top of the Monthly Pass $$ I’m already spending but not using?
$5.00 per month for ActiveLink, according to my meeting leader. She loves hers.
goodness those nachos look amazing! Will definitely try some! I looked for your yummy dove chocolate with sea salt at the store the other day and once again something we don’t have in Texas!
I had a few tops altered, at $10 a pop, so i decided to look on ebay and have gotten some cute tops there for under $10! My new favorite thing. I just can’t justify spending a lot of $$$ on clothes until I have reached the size I want to be. I can find capris for $10 at walmart bit didn’t like the selection as far as tops.
Active link?? That sounds exciting! Can’t wait to hear more from you on it. I have been trying to sort out the different body media and fit bit and heart rate ect things like that to see what might be the best fit. I really like the body media because i have seen the biggest losers rock with those things.
And so jealous you can find orowheat honey whether thins! I got a package two weeks ago here where i live……and now they don’t ship them here anymore. bbooo!
OMG I got hungry just reading your post. I can’t wait for the mini blueberry muffin recipe 🙂
congrats on the size reduction!! keep up the good work
I have the fitbit and the activelink sounds a lot like it! Can’t wait to hear more about it.
Congrats on your smaller size, that is great!!!!!! I agree the tomatoes have been great this year!!!
I’ve had the Active Link for about a month now and it is really a motivator to make you move more than you were, by giving you a baseline, and then pushing you to go further…. Great on the new size Danica! I was in LL Bean today and I fit into an XL! That was so great for me since 7 months ago I wore a 3X and weighed 60 lbs heavier. My hubby bought me a Coach handbag when I reached my 60 lb milestone this week! It is so much fun to go shopping now, but not so much for the hubby’s wallet….Congrats
Woot woot! Congrats on the smaller size!
Hi Danica,
How long do you not-peeled hard boiled eggs last? Do you leave them loose in the fridge or in an air tight container?
Thanks!!
Hi Stephanie,
I keep my shelled hard boiled eggs for about 7-10 days. Sometimes I place them back in the original carton and other times I put them in a sealed container.
If I peel my eggs, then, I store in them in an air tight container for 5-7 days.
Danica
How do you “fry” your egg?
Hi Tiffany,
I “fry” my egg in nonstick spray over medium low heat with salt and pepper. Here is a post I did with the steps to show how it’s done.
