I love creamy beef stroganoff so I jumped at the chance to
try a lower calorie version of this dish.
Like the last Weight Watcher’s recipe I tried, this was
pleasantly easy to make and really tasty. We paired it with peas and some
yolkless egg noodles to make our full dinner worth about 600 calories in total. My husband and I both really liked it and it made a large
amount that filled us up for quite some time.
I’m down 12lbs in total now and I was hoping things would
start getting easier here on in. I’m still hungry most of the time though and
still really cranky about not having cake. (It’s all I can think about!) In
fact, I was so hungry last night before dinner that my cat started looking like
one of those cartoon roast chickens. I’m afraid I might eat him soon if my
stomach doesn’t start shrinking and filling up faster and for longer.
I also found a sports bra that fits and I didn’t even have
to go very far to find one. There happens to be a running store in town (who
knew?) and they had lots of large sizes in the types that I researched. I’ve
now been walking a few days a week and I actually jogged for a full minute the
other day.
I’ve also been trying to find ways to make my breakfast
lower calorie. During the summer I skipped breakfast, mostly because I was
sleeping in so late I didn’t see the point. Now that I’m back to work I need to
eat something before I walk out the door in the morning. My usual 2 cups of
Honey Nut Cheerios is a whopping 400 calories. I’ve tried substituting 1 cup
with a banana for now. We’ll see how it goes.
Anyways, back to the stroganoff...
