What REALLY happened to the dinosaurs

The ancient mysteries have been revealed.  And this is where the term “The Great White Hunter” comes from! 

Yup….slow news day here at Weightingfor50.  (and as I type this, I’m reminded I really have to get my thinking and creativity caps on and think of a new name for this blog.  Hmm.  Or do I?  Hmmm to that too.)

ANYWAY….here is a quick recap of the day’s point friendly (and if I may say so myself, colorful) menu.

Breakfast was a parfait made with blueberries, pomegranate, greek yogurt and 1 tbsp gingerbread granola.

During the morning I had this orange. WARNING: OVERACTIVE IMAGINATION ALERT! (which in this photo looks like a fruity stagecoach (with invisible horses) being driven by the koala.  Giddyup!  Don’t say I didn’t warn you! )

Lunch was a salad with arugula, chopped endive, a roasted beet, some roasted butternut squash and pear, more pomegranate, light feta and dressing that I made with apple cider vinegar, olive oil, dijon mustard and honey.  The reason I had roasted butternut squash and pear was because I made the soup last night that I had as part of my lunch today.  It’s based on a recipe that I found in the weight watchers power foods cookbook.  I tweaked it by changing the spices, adding some fresh lemon juice and greek yogurt instead of low-fat sour cream.  I’ll post the recipe tomorrow.

During the afternoon, I had some celery sticks, and a new to Canada Skinny Cow wafer bar.

I thought I was going to be working a little later than I was, which was a nice surprise.  When I got home, I had a few of this new flavour of Pop Chips.

Dinner was tacos with fixings.  Dennis had his in the shell, I just made mine into a salad.

Last night after I posted, I made some banana soft serve.  (I just wanted a little “something”)  Tonight, I made another bowlful, with a frozen banana and frozen strawberries whirled in.

That’s Monday.  Laundry is calling….more tomorrow.
