Loving the Wii...and a couple updates.

So, I love my wii....I love my wii fit. I think it is so much fun and I actually look forward to playing it at night. Isn't it great? I get a workout and I am playing a game! It adds a lot of variety and challenges to make you work harder too.

Okay, update number 1: my cousin's dad (yes, it is Rhaztas) is still breathing on his own, even though they turned life support off on Sunday. His only brain function is breathing and his heart is beating. That is all. It is sad and she is having a really hard time dealing with it. Every email she sends talks about how inhumane this is...and I can't blame her. So sad and I can do nothing to help out.

Update number 2: I got an email to say I am eligible for the job. Found out I am in the top 5...in the nation that applied. How do you like that? My rating was 92 out of 100. Woot! Now I am just waiting to see what they have in mind for interviews, etc...

I think that is all. I found these really good Pringles pretzel stix honey flavor. They are great. 90 calories. 2 points. There are quite a few in the box too and delish!

Jimmy Dean D-Lights- A food review

Have you seen these? http://www.jimmydean.com/d-lights/

I saw them and thought what the heck. They have 260 calories, 7 g of fat and 2 g of fiber. So 5 pts per sandwich. (a little high but when you need the grease of a good hang over cure they definately work...and more on that later). They are really big and actually taste just like the ones you get from McD's. Spreaking of McD's...this is what you get with the real one. Sausage McMuffin w/Egg 450 cal/27 g fat/2 g fiber: 11 ww pts

I actually shared one w/my kids this morning. It is REALLY very filling.

Tofu shirataki noodles

A Review...

Have you seen these things? http://www.house-foods.com/tofushirataki_faq.html

They have a recipe for them in the HG cookbook. The flavor was good, I just couldn't get past the texture...which is really too bad, b/c the ENTIRE bag is only 20 calories. Can you believe it? Really, they tasted fine, just a little too chewy and hmmm...how do I put it...I guess slimy? Does that make sense?

Anyway, I know others who swear by these so this is just my personal opinion. I guess I will have to stick to the higher points whole wheat noodles...less chew and more flavor. Unless, any of you guys have better ideas.
