According to www.Random.Org, the lucky winner is…..

 

Casey said… I seem to have cut out the same thing as everyone else – I rarely eat/drink products with HFCS anymore (if I can help it) and instead of a million servings of diet sodas and snapples a day, I opt for water or tea.  I’ve also succeeded in getting the boyfriend to stop smoking =)

I am SO happy it’s my weekend (I have Fridays off because of an alternate work schedule).  YAYYYY!!!

Some almonds:

After work, I decided to get in some cardio.  But I ended up doing the non-traditional type! I walked the dogs about 1/2 mile and then I washed my car!  🙂  Hey, it COUNTS as a workout to me!

The trees are releasing pollen and everyone in my neighborhood has a fine layer of yellow POLLEN on their car!

Healthy Spaghetti Bolognese

 

I made one of my favorite meals tonight – a Healthy Spaghetti Bolognese!  It includes WW angel hair pasta, organic pasta sauce, and Morning Star Meal Starter faux meal.

It was excellent… however, I somehow served myself way too much pasta.  There’s a trick that 1 quarter-sized "roll" of spaghetti is equal to one serving.   I "eye-ball" measured it, but I think once I added the Meal Starter and sauce, it was too much.

 

Leftovers:

Plus, I made to slowllly consuming this Dove Dark Chocolate bar over the night.   🙂

    Do you mean 1 quarter sized dry pasta is one serving size?

  • Caitlin at Healthy Tipping Point March 12, 2009, 6:37 pm

    anon – thats what i’ve heard as a “trick” for portioning out dry spaghetti

    There’s a trick that 1 quarter-sized “roll” of spaghetti is equal to one serving.

    What do you mean by this?

  • Leanne March 12, 2009, 6:53 pm

    I see what you mean about the quarter-size and thanks for the tip! I’ve always wondered if there was some way to tell because I just grab and it usually ends up being too much!

  • Mara @ What's For Dinner? March 12, 2009, 6:54 pm

    Love the bumper sticker!!!! I wish it was warm enough here to wash my car!

  • Kailey (SnackFace) March 12, 2009, 7:29 pm

    I definitely count washing the car and walking the pups as cardio! Caitlin, thank you so much for commenting on my latest post and sharing your perspective. I loved reading it! Have a great chocolatey night 🙂

  • Katie March 13, 2009, 5:15 am

    Hubby got me 5 of those dark chocolate bars in my stocking and so far I’ve only ate ONE! They are so rich and chocolatey that just a nibble is enough to satisfy me.

  • Sarah W. March 13, 2009, 5:46 am

    your pasta looked great! esp with meal starter soy crumbles!

    wanna come wash my car???

    not jealous of your pollen! it will soon hit us – maybe later than expected because today its FLURRYING!!!!!!

  • Trish March 13, 2009, 6:49 am

    ugh! I hate pollen. It makes my car so dirty. I wash it and the next morning its covered again. 🙁

  • Daniele March 13, 2009, 7:06 am

    I’ll be washing my car this weekend, I don’t have the pollen problem yet, but I do have a lot of dust. Can’t wait to get my car shining like it should be!
    That dinner looks super yummy! It’s making me crave pasta!
