I'm here!

Okay girls! Rochelle reminded me about this great blog - and I'm in!

Food for thought: Does cleaning your house count as exercise? Yea, I know, not fun. It has to count for something, right?

I have a great recipe for Italian turkey spaghetti squash - I'm trying it tonight so I'll let you know how it goes. I'll need to figure out the point value as well - coming soon (it can't be that many points since it looks like a healthy meal).

Total weight loss so far: 6.6 lbs. woo hoo! Slowly but surely. I wish it would come off faster, but oh well.

1 medium clove garlic, minced

Stir in tomatoes and italian seasoning, reduce heat, add turkey and simmer uncovered 5 minutes or until desired consistency. place ricotta and egg in blender, puree until smooth. coat a 9' pie plate with cooking spray. remove squash from oven.
