Hey Guys!  This is my first blog ever!  I am excited about sharing my weight loss journey with everyone.  I am sure there are a ton of blogs out there that are about losing weight, but hopefully mine will be different because I will be also posting helpful recipes to exchange for high fat foods.  I just joined Weight Watchers on Monday and I have been tracking my food and activities so we will see this coming Monday if all of this work with me changing my lifestyle has worked out for the best!  My lifestyle changes including food changes and not drinking any carbonated drinks that aren't diet is that I have actually gotten back into my routine of doing Zumba at the gym and working up to Yoga and actually looking like I know what I am doing while in a class and not just like a tub of lard trying to be flexible.  I will continue to update my progress and my weigh ins and hopefully how I have progressed in losing weight and not gaining.  Wish me Luck, because I certainly will be needing it, because today is Friday and the weekend is here and this is the time when all of the diet talk usually goes out the window with me!!!  

Here is an awesome website that I discovered today, it is called:  www.hungry-girl.com 

Here is a great swap recipe that you can make that you usually would find at a Taco Bell....

HG's Por Qué No? Mexi Pizza Let's Talk About Mex', Baby! When it comes to super-caloric fast-food items, we're often left asking, POR QUÉ? (That's Spanish for "WHY?") But one bite of our new guilt-free swap, and "Why not?" becomes the more appropriate question -- hence the name of our recipe. Just chew it! Ingredients: Two 6-inch corn tortillas 1/3 cup frozen ground-beef-style soy crumbles (likethe kinds by Boca and Morningstar Farms) 1/2 tsp. taco seasoning mix 2 tbsp. fat-free refried beans 2 tbsp. taco sauce 3 tbsp. shredded reduced-fat Mexican-blend cheese 1/4 cup chopped tomato Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Lay tortillas on the baking sheet, side by side, and bake for 6 minutes. Flip tortillas. Bake until crispy, about 6 more minutes. Leave oven on. Meanwhile, bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add soy crumbles and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. taco seasoning. Cook and stir until hot and well mixed, about 2 minutes. Spread 1 tortilla with refried beans. Top with seasoned soy crumbles, followed by the other tortilla. In a small bowl, mix taco sauce with remaining 1/4 tsp. taco seasoning. Spread the top tortilla with seasoned sauce, and sprinkle with cheese and tomato. Bake until sauce is hot and cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Eat up!
