Milestones

I am happy to report that I hit the 10 lb. mark yesterday. That's a milestone marker for me, and a sure sign that I'm on the right track.

It took me a few days to make those Tuna Burgers I said I was going to make a few days ago, from "Day by Day". But when I finally got around to it, they were actually quite tasty and very easy to make. I'm always leery of burgers because of the mess of having to shape patties, but these weren't sticky like hamburger patties usually are before they're cooked, so my hands weren't greasy, and it was easy to wash up. (I really don't like hamburger grease all over my hands!) The only problem, and I've had this one before, is having a can - the right-sized can - of tuna. I ended up using a little more tuna than the recipe called for, so I had to use a little more egg to hold them together.

The recipe, including tartar sauce and a bun, was 6 points per serving. But, I was able to shave off a couple of points because I didn't use the tartar sauce, and I used the thin buns that are available now. They're only 1 point instead of the 2 points buns usually are. So I figure that each serving ended up being only 4 points. The recipe makes 4 servings, but since I used more tuna, I got 5 patties out of it.

Well, time to do a Wiikout. I'm telling you, this hard level is really challenging for my wimpy legs. Squats, squats, squats, a few upper body exercises, and then more squats, with some tennis and volleyball thrown in for good measure. A few laps around the track, and then squats, squats...you get the picture. Doesn't this sound like fun?
