Weight Watchers Wednesday

Those of you who are participating in Weight Watchers probably already know that the program was revamped this week. Before you could either do the Flex Plan (where your food is worth points) or the Core Plan (where you eat certain approved foods until you feel full). Now, the new program, called Momentum, combines both concepts, and the other two programs have gone away. I, personally, don't think this will make much change for me.

Full disclosure: I gained 0.4 ell-bees since the weigh-in before Thanksgiving. (I missed last week's meeting due to working late.) Honestly, my first thought was "that's all?" I was even wearing jeans, and I normally wear climbing pants. I was shocked I hadn't gained more. This time of year is hard for everyone, as it's so easy to overeat. So, I was happy that's all I had put on-- especially since my exercise routine has gone to pot the past three weeks.

Enough of that... here's your recipe of the week!

Mexican Meatloaf

Ingredients:
Cooking spray
1/2 lb. extra lean ground beef
1/2 lg. lean ground turkey breast

1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp ground cumin
4 oz. canned green chili peppers, diced
8 oz. canned enchilada sauce

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix beef, turkey, egg whites, stuffing mix, onion, chili powder, cumin, chilies, and half of enchilada sauce together.
