Wanted to share a great find -



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share something I found while at my local Wal Mart Supercenter in the grocery section.

They are called Grilled Essentials. Low calorie and low in fat. I absolutely love how easy these are to prepare! Just pop them in the microwave for 60 seconds and walla! They are fantastic. Flavorful and absolutely delicious.

  • Garlic & Herb chicken Breast: Calories 120 per breast, 1.5 grams of fat, 19 grams of Protein
  • Grilled Chicken Breast: Calories 120 per breast, 2 grams of fat, 19 grams of protein
  • Lemon Pepper Chicken Breast: Calories 120 per breast, 2 grams of fat, 19 grams of protein
  • Italian Style Chicken Breast: Calories 120 per breast, 1.5 grams of fat, 19 grams of protein

I am in no way affiliated with Hillshire Farm or Wal Mart. I'm just a banded individual that thinks she found something super awesome and wanted to share with her banded friends.

Here's another one to share. They aren't that new but these are great. I used them for wraps but I have seen people make pizzas out of them. They are called Flatout. I add a tablespoon of mayo, mustard, lunch meat, lettuce, onions and Tomato and have a 270 calorie meal. They come in several flavors. I found these in my deli at the grocery store (Krogers).

there's some great products out there isnt there? I feel so guilty whenever I eat anything that comes in a box, I'm a cook from scratch kinda person. But really, read the nutrition label on those wraps - what's so bad about that?

Unfortunately, cooking for five every night, I dont really get to use some of those great convenience products - way way too expensive to use in that kind of volume.

I am a convert though to powdered peanut butter!! WOW! The very thought horrified me when I first heard of it but curiosity got the better of me and how bloody fantastic it is to get to have chocolate Peanut Butter on rice cakes (my very favourite breakfast) without the horrible calories of real Peanut Butter and real nutella! I had to buy it off ebay and import it :-( But I must have more!

Really? Wow, whats it called.

I know what you mean about the 'from scratch' thing. It is healthier and less sodium for sure but I just can't cook every night and I don't have to (no kids and hubby is easy) so these work great for me. I would like to hear more about that chocolate peanut butter!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
