I saw a recipe on one of my emails from hungrygirl.com for white lasagna. I made it for dinner tonight and it was delicious. I highly recommend it! I made to small changes to the recipe. I added some chopped fresh tomatoes and a little bit of chopped prosciutto. The original recipe says it is 290 calories for one serving. With my changes, it probably bumped it up to about 325 calories per serving. The serving was a generous one. My hubbie, Mom and Dad also enjoyed it. Give it a try!
Also, today is my 7th day without any sugar, any fruit, any stevia or sweetner of any kind. It has actually been OK. I haven't misssed the sugar. Instead I really want the flavor of sweet. I miss stevia in my iced tea. For the upcoming week, I am going to add back stevia, but do one more week with zero sugar, including fruit sugar.
I dropped 2 pounds this week, and I did not reduce my calories, just eliminated all sugars. Very interesting. I ate lean proteins, whole grains, lots of vegetables, non-fat milk, a little feta cheese, some rice crackers, and almonds. So I did not starve myself at all.
It will be interesting to see what happens this week. Ultimately, I would like ot add fresh whole fruit back into the mix. I know that processed sugar of any kind is my "crack" and needs to be avoided!
Tomorrow morning my decaf tea will have some stevia in it. YAY!
Desire to continue to seek a healthier self. Dedication to monitoring changes. Discipline to honor my commitments.
