{sorry i didn't take any pictures of my own...and this one looks much prettier than mine! haha}

So last night I decided to try out this recipe: Lemon Herb Zucchini Fettuccine [click the link to get the recipe and make it yourself!] from "Our Best Bites". It was DELISH!!! I will definately be having the leftovers for lunch today! :o)

I went on the Livestrong today and put the recipe in the recipe builder. I found out there was about 589 calories per serving, which was a 1/4 of the batch. Not too bad! and if you added more cheese it would be a little more, but still not a ton! Then just add a few slices of french bread to menu and you have yourself a nice, healthy dinner! {or so i think}

Where's T and J?!?!


{YES THEY HAVE BEEN MISSING ON HERE FOR A WHILE!}


What is with The 2 Phat Chicks...they have these great ideas and goals and just can't seem to find the motivation to stick with them. They aren't doing AWFUL by any means, just not being the best they could be right now. {what a shame!} So this week both T and J's mini goal is going to be:

COUNT CALORIES!!

Even if they mess up a little...write everything down and keep track of their intake. Sounds like a good goal to me! :o)

and tonight T is going to try a new recipe! woo hoo! look forward to Lemon Herb Zucchini Fettuccine. Mmmm...sounds quite delish, right?!

Hope all our 'phat chick lovers' have a splended day! :o)


*p.s. currently listening to QUIETDRIVE...love them right now!
