Lunch recipe!!! Hummus please!

Sooo, last night was not a good night for me. It was weigh in night, which I usually am looking forward to! Unfortunately last night yielded no results at all. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. (Any other ways I can say that I lost zero pounds over the past week?) Then the excuses started… I was sick, I didn’t work out, I ate a lot of junk, I did not drink enough water, blah blah blah. No more! As soon as I saw that I had not lost anything, I turned on my Jillian Michael’s exercise video and sweated it out for 39 minutes. (Yes, I keep track… Some of those videos are long and as some will say, “Ain’t nobody got time for that!)

Anyway, this is meant to be a motivation for some of you that may have hit a plateau! Just keep working! If you don’t lose or, *gasp* gain in a week, just keep going. Celebrate every single pound lost to date and keep working towards your goal!

I tried something new for my lunch today and I thought I would share the recipe with everyone!

Ingredients:

1 Flatout brand flat bread – Light original (2 WW points +)

2 Tablespoons Sabra brand Hummus – Artichoke and Spinach (2 WW points +)

A handful of cherry tomatoes cut in half (0 WW points +)

A quarter of a cucumber, peeled and cut into bite size pieces  (0 WW points +)

What you do:

Spread the hummus all over the flat bread. Lick spoon. (Licking the spoon is optional, I don’t let any of my points go to waste ;)

Sprinkle on the tomatoes and cucumbers

A light sprinkle of salt and pepper

Roll up the flatbread

Eat!

-Please note that I included the name brands of the items that I used because that is what I looked up in the WW points plus database. If you substitute anything, or change quantities, make sure you re-calculate the points!

I will say that this roll up was delish! The only thing I would recommend is that you do not put this together ahead of time (like, in the morning). It got a little soggy. Just bring it all to work with you and assemble at your desk.

The cucumbers gave the roll up a nice crunch and the tomatoes added the perfect amount of acidity. I paired the roll up with a Yoplait 100 calorie greek yogart, water and a baggie of carrots. Yum!

Keep strong this week and remember to celebrate the good and over look the -not so good- stuff!
