Be still my heart, a BLT I can eat!

www.Hungry-girl.com has done it again. I love BLTs. Around here we have these drive thru (fast food) restaurants called Cook Out. I LOVE their BLTs, but each time I eat one I know that's part of my "20% bad" rule. Then as much as I love the taste, it just doesn't seem worth it. Does anyone know what I'm saying? :)

Well Miss HG calculated the average amount of points a regular BLT would be, and of course, my guilt was keeping me straight - they're 13 points! But she come up with a replacement for the classic, and reduced the point value to THREE points. PTL!!

HG's 1-2-3 BLT

Ingredients:
2 slices of Wonder Light Bread, Weight Watchers Bread (or another 40 calorie bread)
2 slices Louis Rich Turkey Bacon
2 slices of tomato
2 teaspoons of Hellmann's/Best Foods reduced fat mayo
1 romaine lettuce leaf

Directions:
Toast your bread. Prepare your bacon in the microwave while bread is toasting. Smear a teaspoon of mayo on each half. Break bacon pieces in half. Assemble your sandwich, using all remaining ingredients -- bacon, lettuce and tomato. Cut in half. Serve with pickles. Yummmmmm!

I've lost INCHES!!!

Last week I went to the mall before getting the kids, and walked through this new store (new to me) that I found a few trips ago. They had almost *everything* on sale, but it's more pricey than my wallet can afford, but I *love* this stiff. Then I noticed red tags on some of the hangers- and a sign "additional 30% off existing clearance price" something to that effect. I found a beautiful blue dress-suit- with a red tag. The biggest size it seems they carry is a 14, and they had *one* 14 left in those suits. I told myself if it was the Lord's will, that suit would be waiting on me when I got back and I'd fit in it ;o)

I've been in a 16 for some time now. I've been weighing, and the scale has not moved except up two pounds from the 8 I lost in January.

I went back today deciding not to get the manicure Jay and I discussed- I decided I wanted the suit worse than the manicure right now.The suit was there (big sigh), so the moment came- the dressing room. I bit the bullet and tried it on, and it FLOWED onto me! the last time I tried on a 14, I liked to had not gotten the thing over my butt! Woo-Hooo!!

So today, ladies, I bought a $100 - size 14 dress suit for $30.37 :D PTL!!!
