First and foremost, Happy Birthday to my youngest brother who is 23 today, Happy Birthday Bro!
Last night’s dinner was great. Took my leftover Pork Medallions and reheated them, put them on a bun (skinny for me, huge for “J”) and put Prego garden combo on top of that. Then I topped it off with a slice of part-skim mozzarella. Hubby was a huge fan, and the kids didn’t complain because they ate their leftovers, pasta and mashed potatoes. Yumm-o! I had a few calories remaining after wine so I treated myself to a few Girl Scout cookies, peanut butter patties. So good.
I knew today was going to be busy, so I started the day at 7:00am by going for a 1 mile loop around the walking trail by my house. I had always guesstimated it was 1 mile, but imapmyrun confirmed it. I booked it, and went 4.2 mph. The kids hadn’t even finished breakfast with “J” before I was back! I forget how fast I am without the stroller! Pretty proud. Then I threw a 5.25lb pork shoulder, garlic and herbs into the Crockpot for dinner, set the timer for 10hours on low. Exercise, check! Dinner, check! Now into the shower.
So I had to work at the school today, and unfortunately had to turn down a walk around the mall with “T” and her kids. It was just too much to do between school and nap time. Plus I have to decorate the house for St. Patrick’s Day, hang up a banner for “V”s 3rd birthday tomorrow (party at a later date), and catch up on some housework that I have been neglecting. Blah!
Been looking all over the internet for a low-cal French Onion Soup recipe, and it turns out, they are all pretty low-cal. The issue is actually sodium! So I scoured the shelves at Raley’s for any stock/broth under 470g of sodium, which would put me way over in sodium, and found Kitchen Basic’s Unsalted Beef Broth, with only 180g of sodium per serving. Awesome! Great find. Then after reading a raving review of Special K’s new Cracker chip, I picked up a box of those too. Helps that they were on sale, 2 for $5.
Upon returning home, I had a snack of a Cutie and half of a serving of the new chips, they are so good! And with only 110 calories for 27 chips, 13 chips were all I needed! Now I am planning to make French Onion Soup along with my Crockpot Pork and a side of steamed broccoli. Getting excited for dinner! I am babysitting “S”s baby tonight at 7:30, so I think I will Just Dance there. Or maybe do a little Wii Fit Routine while the kids are down. Maybe both!
