Day 5/6

I wasn't able to blog last night, I was too tired and was getting ready to go to work after being out a week with Camdon. What a week but even being home I stuck with WW and did what I think was my best for the first week. I ended up making another rather yummy meal......

Chicken Marsala

(4pts per serving)

4 (1/4 lb) thin-sliced chicken breast cutlets

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

2 tsp olive oil

2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

2 tsp all-purpose flour

1/4 cup Marsala wine*

1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook through, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a platter and keep warm.

Add mushrooms to skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle mushrooms with flour, stirring to blend. Add the Marsala wine* and broth, bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Spoon sauce over chicken.

*Now I didn't have Marsala wine so I used Martin & Rossi Dry Vermouth and I think it turned out just as well....It was SCRUMPTIOUS!!!

With the Chicken Marsala I served it with 1/2 cup brown rice and steamed mixed veggies. My dinner all together was 6 pts and kept me full for the rest of the night.

For lunch that day I also had a healthy salad with cucumbers, carrots, mushrooms, lettuce and 1/2 cup of tuna salad. I ate as much of the salad as possible without salad dressing and just mixing it with the tuna fish, what I didn't have tuna fish for I used my new FAVORITE salad dressing. It is Ken's Steakhouse LITE Red Wine Vinegar & Olive Oil.....so good!

I am really proud of myself and hoping that at tomorrow's weigh in it will show with a weight loss of at least 2lbs. I know not too expect it all to be gone over night because I didn't gain this all overnight. Seeing a negative number on my book would make me so happy and even more motivated to continue this journey I am on.
