A new blog just for me...

I'm starting this blog to keep track of my life. Part of this is due to the fact that I have found myself gaining weight for the simple reason that I am eating too much and not exercising. Another part of me just wants to keep track of my life. It seems that I stay busy but when I look back I wonder what I actually did. So, this blog may only be of interest to me, but I will try to make it one that has some interest.

Now, I have to start. Where should that be? I think the weight/exercise aspect of my life is very important so I've signed up for 90 days with Weight Watchers online to start. Many of my comments will be directly related to recipes on their point scale. I realize this might not interest many, but if you are, then I'll be sure to have them here as often as possible. If I don't have a recipe, I'll try and show you a packaged item that I like.

I am also going to start a 30 day challenge with my Wii. I never though a video program could make me really move, but after last evening's first day, I staggered away from the TV after 30 minutes. Today I will try to work through the stiff muscles and complete day 2. Tomorrow I'll expand on the Wii program and what it actually does.

As for new recipes, today's was such a simple one, but I'll share. I wanted a breakfast that was filling but with few Weight Watcher points. It added up to only 3.5 points. Yeah, me!!!

2 egg whites

1 complete egg

6 mushrooms

1 T.onion

I sauteed the mushrooms and onion in butter flavored spray and then set aside. I scrambled the eggs and added the mushrooms and onions.

I told you it was a simple recipe. I had to add the complete egg...looking at those egg whites was just NOT appetizing. I had to have color and texture...thus I sacrificed 2 whole points for my egg! I thought seriously about adding some Picante Sauce, but when I opened the infrequently used jar and saw something white floating on top, I decided to skip it today.

Now it's off to the grocery store to get some "healthy" foods and replace some off the UFO's in the refrigerator.

See you tomorrow.
