This was sooo good!  I got this out of a Weight Watchers cookbook, but changed it around to make it more delicious!

• 1/4 cup dry Italian breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons grated parmasean cheese (I used a light parmasean cheese that I got at Wal-Mart)
• 6 chicken tenders (I used chicken breasts and cut them into thirds)
• Honey Mustard or Dijon (this is used to coat the chicken)
• Cooking spray

So here’s what you do!

1. Combine the breadcrumbs and parmasean in a plastic bag.
2. Coat the chicken in the honey mustard or dijon then place in plastic bag and shake until the tenders are covered.
3. Then stick the chicken in the oven on 400* until they’re finished!

These are only four points!!  Yummy!!

School starts in exactly one week.  I have spent my summer interning, working, took a class, and working some more.  I didn’t get a vacation.  My internship is over on Wednesday *WOO* and I will be heading down to Nashville, TN, for a weekend of good times with some of my closest friends/family.

So, since I am heading down either Thursday evening or Friday night, I have decided to set some goals for the weekend.

1. Bring my own snacks.  I tend to do better on my diet when I am able to snack.  Providing my own will help keep me focused.
2. Go for diet drinks.  This is my downfall, whenever I go on a diet I have to stop drinking soda completely.  Mainly because I hate diet soda.  It’s one of those things once you start, you can’t stop.  So if we’re go out, I will opt for diet instead of regular.
3. Find some time to excercise.  Thankfully Nashville is one of those towns that everything is lumped together so you walk everywhere, that will help.  I am going to put together a “plan” of excercises that I could do while I am there.
4. Remember portions.  The biggest thing that I am changing is my portion control.  If I can do that, especially when I am out, I think I will be good.

I’ve also found a cool article, on how to stay on your diet while you’re on your vacation.  You can find their tips after the jump.

Since I started this blog, I have been looking for articles, and I have a ton to post, but I don’t want it to be one of those blogs where I just post articles all the time.  I want to do fun things, and maybe get people reading the blog.  But, I found this one the other day and decided today would be a good day to put it up.

It has 5 Ways to Avoid Cheating on your Diet.  It really is a pretty great article, and everything kind of makes sense.  I’m going to post the 5 ways and then my thoughts on them.

Yesterday sucked.

It’s not like I didn’t stay on the diet.  I did.  I just have a hard time when I use my flex points.

I feel like I am cheating even though I know I’m not.

Oh well, I am sure today will be better.

I’m working at home today and tomorrow, so I will be in a little more control of what’s happening.

I still am discouraged.
