Sun-Day

Calories in:  1422
Calories burned: 286
Net:              1136
Exercise: 30 minute brisk outdoor walk with one killer hill (Sprague in Jamestown for those of you who are familiar).
Another sunny, beautiful day. Shopped, visited my Aunt and cousins, and then came home and 'spa'- treated myself to haircolor & pedicure.
Meals today bkfst: Honey bunches of oats cereal w/ blueberries & skim milk, lunch, sf/ff banana pudding mixed with lite cool whip, dinner 2 ff hot dogs (Oscar Meyer- 40 calories each!) on wheat buns & a cup of homemade macaroni salad. Dessert, Stan's low cal pie; 3" piece.
OK- I must explain my lunch, and the pie. My cousin Stan gave me a recipe for '1000 calorie pie' that I've been eager to try. There are many variations; it calls for a crust, 2 boxes of sf/ff pudding, 2% milk (he recommends- I used skim because that's what I had) & cool whip lite. As long as you follow those principals, you could do graham cracker crust w/ chocolate pudding & cool whip, or Oreo crust with vanilla pudding & cool whip, you get the idea. I did as my cousin Geri suggested, and per Stan's direction, a banana cream pie. I layered a pie plate with reduced fat Nilla Wafers, then sliced a large banana and spread the slices around. Then, without consulting the recipe one last time, I made the two boxes of banana cream pudding per the pkg. directions, with 4 cups milk total. Then I added the small tub of cool whip lite. I ended up with too much filling, because you're supposed to only add 2 cups of milk. So I filled my pie and had a bowlful of filling left over. It was a delightful lunch! After dinner we had the pie and it was delish.
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!
