Good morning my favorite blogger friends!! :)
Wednesday I was still working on kicking this cold that’s trying to come on. I skipped my morning gym workout to get some extra zzz’s. I also took some rapid release Tylenol to help with my pounding head and I found some Airborne in the medicine cabinet and took one of those as well. Hopefully my stubborn-ness keeps it away too! ;) I’m staying positive!!
Oh and thanks for all the tips! I appreciate it. I’m going to by some ZICAM nose spray when I’m at the pharmacy today…but I’m not so sure about the peroxide in the ears! ;) But hey, I guess if it means I won’t get sick I should try it, huh?!?!
For breakfast I just kept it simple. I peeled an orange (vitamin C!!!) and sliced an apple for 2 points. 
Before all my morning meetings started I mixed up my morning snack of strawberries, ww vanilla yogurt, and 1/4c homemade granola for 3 points. I am sad to say that this was the last of the 12 cup batch! I guess I know what I’ll be doing on Saturday!! ;)
After a morning filled with meetings I headed home to let the cable guy in over my lunch. I called our cable & internet provider and asked for a better rate and saved Kyle & I $30/month!! Hooray!! And the bonus was that we were even upgraded so he had to install something new!!
Lunch was quick, simple, & delicious! I started out 1/2c cottage cheese w/pineapple and an orange (more Vitamin C!!) for 4 points. 
And I finished off with a gooey, warm grilled cheese sandwich for 2 points. I even cut it diagonally like my Mom used to…felt just like a kid eating this! :)
If you can believe it, I had more meetings yet in my afternoon. To get me through I sipped on some bubbly…no not champagne, diet sierra mist! ;)
Now I know I ate some baby carrots when I got back to my office. And I KNOW I took a picture…but my camera must have ate it! ;) Oh well…zero points anyway!!
After work I ready to hit the gym! I got in 35 minutes on the treadmill. Now the exciting part…within that 35 minutes I ran a 5K in 28:29 minutes!!! Which beats my goal of 29 minutes for February!! I was super pumped!!! It wasn’t easy though, my chest was tight, but I finished! I think this is the fastest I have ever ran a 5K!
After my sweat session I came home and whipped up beef enchiladas! I thought they turned out great, but Kyle wasn’t so sure of the beans! He says it’s not an enchilada if there are beans in it, it’s more of a burrito. I said who care’s what it’s called…it just tastes good! My serving was 7 points. I couldn’t get a picture on my plate…it just turned into a big blob of meat & cheese!! But oh so good!!
I also had a 1/2c of corn on the side for 1 point. I always remember school lunches whenever you had a Mexican dish you always had corn with it!
Beef Enchiladas (makes 12 Enchiladas or 6 servings. 2 Enchiladas is 5 points)
- 1 lb. Cooked lean ground beef
- 8 oz. Kraft free grated cheese
- 20 oz. Old El Paso mild enchilada sauce
- 5 oz. Old El Paso fat free refried beans
- 12 corn tortillas
- Cook ground beef.
- Mix ground beef and refried beans together.
- Add 1 can sauce, mix well.
- Warm tortillas in a microwave until soft and pliable.
- Spray with light cooking spray.
- Fill each tortilla with about 2 Tbsp. meat mixture.
- Roll, and fill pan.
- Pour cheese on top and bake for 25-30 minutes.
After supper I cleaned up a bit and was exhausted. I ended up going to bed around 8:45pm!! Hoping the extra sleep will keep my strong to kick this cold!!

Oh, I had forgotten about cafeteria cinnamon rolls! Ours were served on chili-and-grilled-cheese days, too! I haven't had a cinnamon roll in eons, but now I think I know what my next splurge will be. :)
Way to be proactive in fighting off your cold! I just started a new teaching job, and I can already feel a cold coming on from all of these germy kids!
