Protein Power

Happy Wednesday all! Thank you all for the awesome comments on yesterday’s post. I really love that you all totally motivated me again today to be “That Girl ” and that some of you jumped on board too.

This morning, I decided to boost on my day with protein power to boost my will power.

Cheddar & Chive scrambled eggs – 2 eggs, 1/2 oz 2% sharp cheddar, green onion, hot sauce, salt, pepper and a splash of milk (1 sp)

Turkey Apple Sausage & 1/2 an apple (1 sp)I picked up a grande nonfat cappuccino to get through training (3 sp).

I was so excited when I saw we had Chipotle for our training lunch. Excited because I knew I could build a delicious, low point & filling bowl!Here is what I did:

I walked right past the flour tortillas taking none! Loaded up on salad Added 3 Smartpoints for Chicken Layered on zero point toppers – fajita veggies and fresh tomato salsa Picked 2 fun toppers – a little cheese and guacamole (5 sp) Chips! My nemesis at Chipotle as I could eat just them. I lined my bowl with 4 then decided to go back for 8 more for 4 SP.

Fun Chipotle Chip fact – you can request a kids chip for just 4 Smartpoints when you want a bit of crunch.

We had our team training dinner at this place called Our House.

I am totally the girl that ate half the shared brussel sprouts appetizer.And I did have a scoop to taste the Mac & cheese – so creamy, crispy, good. (3 sp).What I really wanted to order:

HANDMADE GNOCCHI
pesto cream sauce, soft poached egg,
house roasted pork belly, pine nuts, parmesan

Sounds amazing, huh?!

But, I made an intentional decision that I’d rather feel good about me and pick a healthy protein, veggie option.

My plates were cute – the size of a butter knife lol.

Grilled bacon wrapped shrimp with date jam with a small kale salad with the dressing on the side. (6 sp).I also skipped dessert when everyone ordered because honestly it didn’t sound good and IIdidnt miss it. Success!
