If it was anything like mine you had alot of food around! We had 2 gatherings. One was at 12:30 for lunch then we drove and meet my wives family at 5:30 for Dinner! There was plenty of food and booze to go around! From Smoked Turkey, green beans, mashed taters, to pumpkin pie it was looking to be a struggle!
But I woke up early Thursday morning and got a 3 mile run in outside (34º). Over the past 4 days I had accurued 46 extra ww points for food plus i had my daily limit and my extra 49 points for the week... So actually I could eat 151 pts worth off food and drinks on Thanksgiving.... But my goal is to lose weight so I stuck to my plan and calculated out all that I ate and drank... So how many of the points did I eat/drink you ask???? 52 pts. I didn't even get to my daily total... But I was satisfied and not hungry so it was a good day!
Today I had weigh in. When you get there you can hear all the other people talking and what not and hear I gained this and that because it was thanksgiving and i didnt track... Which is fine but my mind is made up and I have it set to lose... I was alittle worried about not losing because of the holiday but I thought maybe I stayed the same......
Stepped on the scale and see a 2.4 lb loss. YEA BUDDY! Made it thru the first Holiday with a LOSS!!! Next up Christmas then New Years... This is going to be a bumpy ride! But as long as I keep the same mind that I want to lose then I think it will be ok!
Crispy Parmesan Asparagus Sticks.
Ingredients
1 bunch of asparagus (mine had about 30 spears)
2 egg whites
1/4 cup flour (I used whole wheat pastry flour)
1 cup seasoned panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lay a wire rack on a baking sheet and coat with non-stick spray.
Snap off the tough ends of each asparagus spear. On two separate plates, add the eggs whites (lightly beaten) and the panko + flour + cheese. Season the panko mixture with salt and pepper if desires. Coat each asparagus spear in egg whites, then lay in the panko mixture and thoroughly cover. If the panko won’t stick, dip back in the egg whites and roll in panko once again. Lay each spear on the wire rack.
Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
I love asparagus, just put out 75 foot row of 2 yr old crowns last spring....fresh asparagus in just 4/5 months now can't wait!
