Before After

wooohooo a little loss.

Down another pound this week!  Wooohooo!


I know (TOM) is coming either today or tomorrow as well so that is a nice WI for me this morning.  Especially with the crap I ate last weekend. Now the goal is to at least maintain it or loose more especially with crazy thanksgiving coming up.
 
As for winter break... Winter break from school is not for another 5 weeks... C'mon Lori!!!  Hang in there and get it done.  5 Weeks till winter break then I get a 3 week break!  I soooooooo can't wait! 

Speaking of winter and the holiday time... I know this doesn't make any sense but does anyone have any healthy cookie recipes..? lol  I know healthy and cookie don't belong together lol but I'm trying to find something at least healthier to make at my family cookie night in a few weeks.
 
Today I am walking.. wooohooo my nice 2 mile walk in the cold on lunch.. Walk faster you don't feel as cold.  Maybe my friend and I will take another route so we are mostly in the sun.  After work I am heading right to the gym.  No if's ands or butts!  I am getting to the gym and I am jogging!  After that I will have dinner followed by trying to concour some school work early.  I really should try to get some done here while we are slow at work this after noon.  That will be the smart thing.  Or at least try to get my readings in between calls.  Then I can bang it out easily.  yeah I think I'm going to do that.
 
Today for food I have:
coffee
banana
fruit bar
apple sauce
tangerine
Salad w/ lite italian dressing
60 cal low fat pudding snack
Water water water!
 
not sure what's for dinner yet.

Way to go on the loss!!!! :) You're doing so great Lori!

About the cookie recipee...hum....healthy....hum..Rice krispy squares? LOL  But seriously....you can make ANY recipee healthier by replacing the sugar by splenda or honey ...eggs with egg whites, etc. I'll experiment this weekend with a few recipees and I'll get back to you ;) Hopefully they wont turn out too bad. lol

Way to go on that pound!  Awesome!

I asked about healthy cookie recipes a while back.  Kate who Ate sent me some vegan ones.  I wonder if I still have that email.

Cookies

Like any cookie they aren't great for you but they are healthier.  I adapted them from a recipe for pumpkin cranberry cookies and when I plugged in the info they are actually better for you made with Marshmellows than with dried cranberries so I went with the marshmellows.

  • 1 cup(s) splenda
  • 1 cup(s) canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup(s) unsalted butter
  • 2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon 
  • 1/4 tsp table salt
  • 1 cup(s) Kraft Jet-Puffed Mini Marshmallows
Instructions


Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix splenda and butter well, then add the pumpkin.
In another bowl thoroughly mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ones.
Last, stir the marshmallows in.
Drop by teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake until light brown, 10-12 min.
Immediately remove from cookie sheet; cool.
