The past weeks highs and lows

     So after weighing in last week I was exstatic to know that I had lost 7 pounds. This is a huge accomplishment for me. I was still glowing on Thursday when I started having abdominal pains. After going to the Emergency Room and having them run a cat scan, ultra sound, and x-ray. They couldn't figure out what was going on. So the next step was exploritory surgery. After the surger they iformend me they removed a growth that was on my intestine.
    This brings me to Tuesday this week. I go to weigh in not with high hopes since I was in the hospital the last week. I ened up gaining about 1 and 1/2 pounds. I was sad and dissapointed. But I also know that I couldn't do the things I had normally been doing.
Every week I (1) Write down everything I eat and the points they all are. (2) Try to get at least a 10 minute work out in a day. They main thing is journaling, writing what you eat. Everything down to those 2 M&M you ate.

HOPING FOR BETTER NEWS NEXT WEEK!!!

Lightened up Banana Bread

Hello everyone,

I am a lover of sweet food. I think that is part of how I ended up weighing as much as I do. With my Weight Watcher's meeting being cancelled this past week due to the blizzard we had I have been bored out of my mind. So today I was really craving something sweet and my sugar free chocolate pudding wasn't going to cut it. So I came up with this lighted up banana bread. I make them in muffin tins that way they are already in an individual size. These are very yummy, they made the house smell amazing, and they are only 3 points per muffin.

1/2 cup Splinda
5 Tbsp of Brummel and Brown Butter
1 Egg
1 tsp Vanilla
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 skim milk
4 bananas smashed

*Preheat oven to 350
* Mix the butter and sugar together and add the egg.
* Add vanilla, milk, and smashed banana. Mix well.
* In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda together
* Add to the banana mixture.
* Scoop into lined muffin tins
*Bake 10 - 15 minutes depending on oven variance.

Notes:

Mixture will be thick but the bananas make them so moist. Mine made 13 good sized muffins and only 3 points per muffin. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
