Chicken Parmigiana‏

admin — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 12:58:29 +0000

This is my favorite WW recipe. I use Panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs. They toast up nicely and they have a good crunch.

Chicken Parmigiana

1 pound(s) chicken breast, uncooked, boneless, skinless, (four 4 oz pieces), pounded thin
2 large egg white(s), lightly beaten
1 tbsp italian seasoning
1 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 cup(s) canned tomato sauce
1/2 cup(s) part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup(s) dried bread crumbs
1 Tablespoon grated parmesean cheese

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.
Dip chicken in egg whites, and turn to coat. Then mix bread crumbs with Italian seasoning and dip chicken in bread-crumb mixture; turn to coat thoroughly.
Heat oil in a large skillet; add chicken. Cook until lightly browned and no longer pink in center, about 4 minutes per side; place on paper towels to drain.
Pour 1/2 cup of sauce into prepared baking dish; place chicken in dish and pour remaining sauce evenly over chicken. Sprinkle with cheeses and bake until bubbly, about 25 minutes.

Food Find: Fruit Dip

T. Marzetti Cream Cheese Fruit Dip 100 Calorie Packs

I may be a little slow finding this at Wal-Mart, but hey… I found it! I was looking through the fruits and saw individual packages of fruit dip for 100 calories each. Everybody loves to be able to dip something and what is more perfect than eating healthy fruit with something sweet like fruit dip that is only 2 points! I have found myself eating more fruit in my diet now because of this handy dipper!

PSOTW: I Can!

I recently came across a show on MyStyle called Ruby… you heard of it? I’ve gotten addicted to it! She’s so encouraging! I know of a lot of people or heard from people how they’re so big they can’t loose the weight or do any exercise. I understand some people have health issues that are against them in loosing the weight. However, the people I’ve seen say they can’t loose the weight don’t have these issues… they just want an excuse. Watching Ruby, this beautiful woman has lost over 100 pounds now and is steady going! That is truly awesome and it’s shows that a real good diet just includes a healthy food plan, good exercise, and an amazing support group of friends and family. I’ve watched people do those binge dieting or take those pills and I know it’s not going to work. Those are a temporarily fix. What I need is a permanent fix, a lifestyle change… and that is what a diet is all about.

Johanna Stahley – I Can

I see everything happening
Feeling changes coming on
I gotta let go of what I know
Where I’ve been coming from

Pre-chorus:
I picture overcoming obstacles
See me beat the odds
Down stream of my dream
My own big O-cean

Chorus:
I can if I think I can
Turn my doubts into sand
I can if I think I can
I made a plan, I’ll take a stand
I’ll be my own biggest fan
I can if I think I can
If I think I can

I see the strangest things happening
Rainbows at dawn
Thoughts like melodies stay with me
Lead me down this road I’m on

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Can, can, can, can c-c-can

Fantasies are easy, and
What’s worth having that isn’t hard?
I can be whatever I’m gonna be
Yes I’m following my heart

Chorus

Can, can, c-c-can

I can if I think I can
Turn my doubts into sand
I can if I think I can
Take a stand, make demands
Gonna have about a million fans
I can if I think I can
If I think I can

Weigh In Time

weighmein — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 01:34:37 +0000

Last week I had a very good weight loss, a huge one, at that. I felt that losing 5.8 pounds in one week is way too much so I thought my body will kick me in the butt and I would gain a little back this week. I did not let this bother me too much, I kept doing what I’m doing and looked at it as one of those highs and lows of dieting.

As a lot of people may do, I starve myself this morning so going to meeting at noon may not be too bad. Come on, who wants to weigh in and realize they didn’t lose, or even worse, gain? It’s a part of the dieting experience but we all like the feeling of winning and being competitive. I weighed in expecting a small gain, but guess what? I LOST 2.4 POUNDS!! I’m at a total of 21.6 lost! I was extremely happy and what did I do to reward myself? I drank a cherry coke!! I needed to use up my points and I couldn’t think of anything better than a nice cherry coke to quince my thirst!

Positive Song of the Week!

weighmein — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 16:33:23 +0000

Usually, when I work out, I pick good upbeat songs to jam to. I also pick songs that are a good motivation or a positive song. Maybe even a good F— Y– song. With dieting, I always have those negative thoughts, people saying bad things, or just having a down day and I need a boost!

My Positive Song Of The Week (PSOTW) is Walking On Snow by Jordin Sparks.

You fire words, but all they do is ricochet.
You think I’m paying the price, but its not costing me.
Your love was a waste of time, you’ve been left behind
you made no mark on me, you’re gone and you left no sign
Your not on my mind, don’t try to press rewind.

It’s like walking on snow, without leaving a trace
you know what you said never carried no weight
I came out untouched and in another place
when ya gonna get it?,
I’m so unaffected

When i was flying high you tried to clip my wings
(you shot me out of the sky)
You tried to make it up by buying expensive things
(my love you cannot buy)
Your love was a waste of time, you’ve been left behind
you made no mark on me, you’re gone and you left no sign
ur not on my mind, don’t try to press rewind

It’s like walking on snow, without leaving a trace
you know what you said never carried no weight
i came out untouched and in another place
when ya gonna get it
im so unaffected
its like walking on snow, without leaving a trace
you’re not gonna see, gonna see this heart break
you huff and you puff but I’m not blown away
when are you gonna get it
I’m so unaffected

you try and find, find faults in me
you project your self-hate so easily
you already lost so you push me more
cuz….

1,2,3,4

It’s like walking on snow, without leaving a trace
you know what you said never carried no weight.
I came out untouched and in another place
When ya gonna get it?,
I’m so unaffected
It’s like walking on snow, without leaving a trace
you’re not gonna see, gonna see this heart break
you huff and you puff but im not blown away
When are you gonna get it?,
I’m so unaffected.

When are you gonna get it?,
I’m so unaffected.
