I had a dream.... (also a recipe for a delicious baked potato)

I had a dream once.

It was of the worlds most delicious Coca Cola. Fizzy, cold, crisp, delicious, and the best thing since sliced bread! I woke up wanting this Coke. Oh how I would have given anything for this Coke. But I did not! Because I made a commitment to NO SODA!!!!

I have been Soda Free since May 12, 2014!!! That has been 17 weeks (3 Months) of nothing. The only indulgence I have is a Coke Slurpee. Hey there is no carbonation in it.

The only bad thing to this is the occasional delicious Coca Cola dream, other than that I feel normal. I fear that if I ever drank a Coke again - I would simply just hate myself. So I will never drink soda again (I plan to keep this for a long [if not forever] time).

Weight Loss Update:

Dreamy Baked Potatoes: 5 points

Items Needed:

Red Onions

Yellow, Orange, and Red Peppers

Any other vegetables of your choosing

Olive Oil

1 Russet Potato

Low Fat or Fat Free Sour Cream

Directions:

Poke holes in potato with fork, and put in the microwave for 5 minutes, then turn it over and cook for another 5 minutes.

While this is being done cut up all of your vegetables, and add 1 tbs of olive oil into a pan, put on Medium heat. 

Add all the vegetables and grill - season to your liking. (I use roasted garlic salt and basil).

Cover while vegetables cook, stir occasionally.

When your potato is done and the vegetables are grilled to your liking: 

Cut up the potato and add one layer of vegetables, and 2 tbs of sour cream, and one more layer of vegetables.

Salt and Pepper to your liking.

Optional item: Bacon Bits (in small amounts). 

This seems like it is TOO good to be true, but I looked it all up, and you save points with your healthy oil and vegetables! 

Go ahead - try it - it is a meal all in itself!

Until next time!
