    how do you make spaghetti squah chicken alfredo??? it sounds awesome!!! I tried making spaghetti squash once and it didnt turn out too good.

    Don't know how you cooked it previously, but squash is pretty simple. Just cut in half, scoop out the seeds, and bake in a pan with a little water at 350 for, oh, 45-60 minutes, depending on its size. Basically, cook until you can easily stick a fork in it. Once it's cooled enough to handle (or you have oven mitts), use a fork to pull out the innards. Spaghetti squash will pull out in strings. If you cut it in half lengthwise, the strings will be longer, but it's harder than cutting it in half widthwise. :)

    Pour alfredo sauce over it, and voila! My hubby and I also add grilled chicken to ours.

    My lunch was leftovers from dinner last night: Homemade spicy peanut chicken over white rice. So yummy!

    And dont feel bad! Ive been there, done that! At least you have a great mindset about how to overcome this one setback! I always have a hard time regaining my focus after a meal or day like that. Great job staying focused on the prize! (Our goals and current weights are similar...we are SOOO close to success!)

    I cut the squash in half, long ways-take out the guts, bake it on the rhine at 375 for 40 minutes and then take a fork and rake it out of the rhine and then put anything I want to on it/with it. I used alfredo sauce and the Tyson Precooked grilled chicken strips. LOVE IT.

    Today's lunch was so depressing!

    I had a serving of sugar free grape jelly and half a serving of peanut butter over two wheat deli round flats. Also a protein shake. I was so sad at how meager it looked. At least is was only 335 calories total.
