Chicken breasts with a can of encilada sauce. Other ingredients are optional: Green onion, red onion, green/red pepper, jalapenos, etc. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. serve on tortillas.

Club soda works as a subsitue for eggs and oil.

It is the Edison Festival of Lights 5K. My understanding this race actually counts towards marathon qualifications. So the rules are no electronics and cannot carry any objects. I don't recall seeing many with headsets in past races that I have watched. There are at least 1600 people registered each year. I don't know the…

Fort Myers will be hosting their first Color Vibe 5K Jan 4, 2014. It's not timed, but people are encouraged to walk or jog to get the most color on them. I haven't tried it yet, but I am trying to get together a team from my office to jog it.

Fort Myers Florida has some great races to attend. Each February is the Edison Festival of Lights. Its a full week celebrating Thomas Edison. It is a 5K that goes across a river. Thousands come from around the US for the week long party/events. Each Veterans weekend the YMCA has a 5K run. This year they hosted their first…

Break out a crock pot. You can slow cook chicken with salsa, so then you can have tacos or taco salad for lunch or dinner. Snack - unsalted popcorn. I like to drizzle just a little melted chocolate chips on an entire bag of popcorn. Chocolate only adds about 100 calories for the entire bag- but the bag of popcorn is about…

I have found that if I use mini semi sweet chips, then I only need half the amount that the recipe calls for. Works for just about everything,

If you don't want the citus taste from diet 7 up or sprite, you can use club soda. Does the exact same thing.

I can eat about 300-500 calories of sweets easily in any given day. If I eat that much in sweets then I do cut something else out to keep my calorie count for the day around 1300 - so maybe skip the baby coke and drink a diet baby coke. or eat less protein for dinner. Something to cut back on the calories. Sometimes -…

I munch on dry honey nut cheerios or chex cereal. About 1/8 to 1/4 cup ties over my hunger for about an hour for my workout.

Chocolate Lava cake 1/4 cup sugar free pillsbury chocolate cake mix 2 tbsp water 1 carton/cup Hunts sugar free chocolate pudding optional Reddi whip fat free whipped cream spray cup with cooking spray. Mix cake mix and water. Make sure completely mixed. Stir in 1 scoop of pudding into cake mix. Microwave for 1 minute. Take…

Pillsbury makes sugar free chocolate cake mix or yellow cake mix. I used to use diet coke or sprite zero until I discovered 12 oz of club soda is better. Since sprite has some citrus flavor it doesn't always go over with the yellow cake mix. Since club soda has no flavor no one can tell that's what I used. I started mixing…

Sunday mornings. This keeps me very honest Saturday, flexible during the week, but allows for a little cheating on Sunday. Helps me plan the meals for the next week.

I made these for the 4th of July. They looked more like apple packets. But I used a lot of apple. So good. I changed it up a bit - sprinkle 1 packed sweet and low over all 8 rolls before rolling. Add 5-6 pieces of caramel pieces before sealing. Springkle with 1 sweet and low packet on top with cinnamon. The caramel isn't…

I make mini pies all the time. I use reduced fat crescent rolls for the crust. Unroll the container and divide into 12. I roll out each into a circle and put into a well sprayed muffin tin. If it's a pudding pie, I bake at the temperature on the package. (bakes 7-11 minutes) If it's a fruit pie (like apple of blueberry) I…

I like to use LC to stuff jalapeno peppers. Especially the queso in jalapenos.

I've been making a lava mug cake lately. 1/4 cup sugar free pillsbury devil's food cake mix 1 chocolate pudding cup (sugar free for 70 calories) 2 tbsp water blend the cake mix and water really well in the mug. Stir in one spoon of the chocolate pudding cup. Microwave on high for 1 minute. stir in remainder pudding cup and…

6 inch wheat turkey, no cheese, with all the veggies topped with buffalo sauce. Just enough sauce to dribble out the end. There is something about their buffalo sauce on turkey that is just really good.

I make somthing similar but I call them mini pudding pies. I use the pillsbury reduced fat crescents. Divide into 12 pieces. Flatten so that each is about 4-5 inch circle. Spay a 12 muffin pan and place each circle into the pan. Bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes. After the cool pie crusts then I fill with sugar free…

I use a notebook binder. I photocopy the recipe and file alphabetically. On the back side I write down any aterations I made and the date and any possible ideas to change it up the next time.

I have been using Omron for the past 2 years. I ordered it from pedomersusa.com We use these also for a wellness program that I created at work. You enter your weight and stride. It gives you an estimate for how many calories you burn. Plus it includes aerobic time (walking/running for anything over 10 minutes), calories…

My doctor asked me "Are you happy with your weight?" It took about 6 months to figure out what he asked and why. It took me 1 year to loose 40 pounds. The next visit he asked the same question. But this time I got the lecture that I cannot loose anymore weight or he would have to introduce me to a nutritionist to gain a…

Jalapeno Poppers sliced jalapenos in half and remove all the seeds Stuff the pepper with any Laughing cow cheese After all are stuffed, spray jalapeno once with I can't believe its not butter spray and roll in ground Fiber One cereal. Place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 20-30 minutes. The longer they bake, the…

Any package of cake mix A can of diet pop So if you want a chocolate cake, use Betty Crocker Super Moist Chocolate Fudge with a can of diet coke. Bake according to box directions. If using 13x9 pan, cut into 12 slices. Top each with 1 TBSP fat free Cool Whip. 170 calories per slice. You can alter this for any combination…

I usually baked small tortillas shaped as a bowl. Very simple and takes just a few minutes to make. Small tortillas. Spray one side with a little I can't believe it's not butter - one or 2 sprays is enough. Sprinkle cinnamon. Put into a tortilla pan - or shape anyway that you want. Bake at 425 degrees for 5-6 minutes until…

My family loves the Betty Crocker cornbread mix. Works out to be about 135 calories per muffin if you bake 6. We discovered the Martha White mix has no flavor.
