Still working on that weight loss goal. Interesting, with working out the desire to snack and nosh is quite different. And with looking over very options in dieting I have been reintroduced to various foods you forget when always on the road and in a rut.
This week's options beyond the soup...
Cream of wheat - I know that's not new for me. I have had a box sitting in the fridge since last winter (hence its home in the fridge). And ironically the SparkPeople web-site suggested mixing it with peanut butter. HAH - reflections of my father. Well he preferred peanut butter in his oatmeal. I do have some peanut butter in the house but the option was with fruit. And so I made a batch of cream of wheat (yes, a whole batch - it is easier than making a serving each morning and slightly less hassle in the clean up) and mixed it with a pack of frozen raspberries. YUM!
I have hesitated to eat too much of the cream of wheat because of the carb aspect but it is a lot less than some other cereals. Probably gonna switch to steel cut oats once this box is empty.
The other twist - hold on to your HATS - cottage cheese. I told you to hold on to your hats.
Listen to this crazy approach to this week's dinner menu - chopped romaine lettuce, grilled chicken, cottage cheese, strawberries, some salad dressing. It has been wonderfully tasty.
I just hope the low calorie weight loss focus works.
Now to find something creative to do next week - and I will be on the road. That really plain grilled chicken sandwich on dry whole wheat roll may be the mainstay for my time in ATL.
