Feb 5, 2011

Been a few days! Im now down to 312, which is 15lbs in about a month. So pleased with myself these days! The wii fit helps a lot especially when I cant get outside to do anything unless its to shovel snow which I dont enjoy at all. The girls like to do it too so its a win win! Im thinking of getting another fit game or something to add into my work out. A friend of mine does a lot from the wii fit to the biggest loser dvd to a 2 mile walk with Leslie Summon. Ive done the walk before but I dont have the 2 mile, I get mine off my in demand fit tv and it only shows the 1 mile, guess I could do it twice. Add that with the wii fit, but I do a lot of the walking on the wii fit, so Id like something else. Any ideas?

Chocolate Chip Cookies

http://cookingdonelight.com/blog/2007/10/08/low-calorie-low-fat-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies/

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

1 egg white

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup flour (I used 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour and 1/2 cup all purpose)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Lightly spoon the flour into a dry measuring cup, and level it off with a knife. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt and stir to blend. In a separate bowl, whisk the sugars, butter, egg white, and vanilla together until light and fluffy. Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions until the batter is very well blended. If the batter looks more “crumbly” than smooth, add just a splash of water at a time (ONLY if needed) until it smooths out.

Drop by level spoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto baking sheets coated lightly with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 -10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let stand 5 minutes before removing the cookies from the pans to cool on wire racks. Enjoy!
