Progress
So far so good here. I weighed in on Friday and I was down 4 whole pounds!! With the new plan it seems like I'm using a lot of points and I was sure that I hadn't lost anything, but this was one time I was happy to be wrong! I'll share a few pictures of the recipes that I've been using this week.
This is a chicken and potato bake. It was kind of like a casserole and I added some shredded cheese at the end of the baking process to add more points for myself. Since I'm breastfeeding, I have 14 extra points that I am really trying to use wisely. Instead of adding a cookie or potato chips to my day, I'll add cheese or a glass of milk. It's an easy way to really rack up some good points! This dish was good because I was able to use leftover chicken breast from the night before. We had a salad and some steamed veggies to go along with it. The kids enjoyed the dish because it was covered in cheese!
This is my new favorite lunch! It's a ham and cheese panini that starts with grilled sweet onions!! Mmmm, my mouth is watering already! Served with fresh strawberries, this lunch was a hit with everyone!
In other news, Kenna and Shae hit a few milestones that were worthy of a visit to the Dr.'s office. Kenna had her 6 weeks appointment and Shaedon tagged along to have his 3 year check up! Both are doing great and are at the 50th percentile exactly for both height and weight! Awesome =)
My big Kaia is staying as busy as ever. With softball practice on Mondays and Fridays plus games on the weekends, we are almost wiped out! She also has hula and Tahitian lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays with her first performance this Friday... very exciting! Add to that Girl Scout Daisy meetings every first and fourth Thursday of the month and you have one busy little 5 year old! I know it might sound crazy to have her involved in so many things, but the idea is that she can get a feel for what she likes and doesn't like so much (ahem, soccer!) and within the next couple of years she can start to filter those things out. That way, she'll still be young enough to really focus on her sport or activity of choice and begin to hone her craft. Full ride scholarship, here we come!!

That is a busy 5 year old! I'm sure she has the energy but I'm not sure how YOU do! That chicken bake looked yummy by the way - keep up with the losing.
My mouth is watering... I don't know if it's because of your mention of yummy, healthy foods or because of your sweet children!!! =)
You are a super-mom! I want some potato bake now... looks delish!
