Bulk up your meals...


I told you about this before but it bears repeating.
This is a Smart Ones pot roast dinner (140 calories)
and a bag of steamer brussels sprouts (no sauce).
The weight watchers "dinner" had three tiny pieces of green beans!
Come ON WW, bulk up those meals for us!
Now that's enough food for dinner.

I don't eat many of these meals because they are so high in sodium and sodium really bothers me and my weight loss efforts but by not adding any salt to the veggies it doesn't taste too salty like the plain meal either.


DelSol polish, goes on blue and turns purple in the sun.


I'm ready to go on Saturday.  Some of the bloggers are already on board doing a back-to-back cruise and they are posting about how wonderful the ship looks.  And John is already there too posting about the activities happening around the ship.  So many old friends!  Some of the stuff is really (really really) hokey but the people are darlings.

Have a wonderful Thursday y'all.  I will too...

  4. Those meals are good for a pinch, but I don't like them. I have issues with lots of "diet" foods. Esp those with the WW moniker. They think that adding fiber makes it better. It's a long rant in the making, but I really don't want to go there.

    I like your idea of adding a simple, plain frozen veggie to bulk up the entrees. They need it. We don't eat enough veggies. That's where a LOT of our nutrients come from. I never understood the non-veggie eaters. Vegetables rock. They are easy to prepare (or better yet, eat them raw), and so delicious! Even better yet. the best nutrient bang for the calorie buck.

    Yes, I'm a veggie fan.

  7. Isn't it odd when nail polish oxidizes like that?!

    Glad you found a better meal alternate with this.

    I know you are really looking forward to the cruise. It's been almost a year since Sarge died. it'll be good for you to be among bloggy friends.
    Sending many hugs your way.

  8. I got a shaker of "sea veggies" it is kelp and some other sea veggie. It is flakes that you use instead of salt. It has iodine, and a couple other trace minerals that you need. The salt flavor is there, but less strong. It is really quite good, and the sodium content is less. I will get you one next time I go to whole foods

  11. The bloggers cruise was fun, but there was too much to do. If we ever go again we won't do so much. If we ever go again.

    I am eating on lean cuisine in the morning and the rest of the day is very low sodium. Hubby says I don't need to be dieting at all. He's probably right. I've just always watched my food intake. Well since about 45 years of age. Before that I could eat anything.

    Have a terrific day. Big hugs from cold but sunny California. :)

  15. Color-changing nail polish. How cool!!

    Your toes are ready so you must be ready as well. I am trying to eat more vegetables. The dietitian always says "there are no bad vegetables."

    And she is big on beans. Beans, beans, beans!
