A recipe from Put Down the Donut:
Baked Apple Streusel
Ingredients:
4 medium apple(s), peeled, cored and thinly sliced (use firm apples)
1/2 cup unpacked brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg*
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1
/4 cup uncooked old-fashioned oats
3 tbsp reduced-calorie margarine
Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir together apples, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice; pour into a 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Cut flour, oatmeal, remaining brown sugar and margarine together with a pastry blender or fork in a medium bowl; sprinkle over apple mixture. Bake until apples are tender and top is browned, about 45 minutes.
Yields about 1/2 cup per serving. WW Points: 2 pts per serving. Suggestion... top with a dollop of frozen fat free cool whip. It's 0 points for the cool whip which is a bonus.
That sounds tasty. I wonder how many servings it makes--I wouldn't want a lot leftover, for me to gorge on.

I just woke up from an intense dream about going to a bakery and buying up all kinds of delicious treats, including croissants, brownies, cookies, pies, etc. The cravings are bad today. :-(
But so far I haven't caved. Because there's nothing bad to eat at home. Tomorrow at work is another story-hope I can resist. Also, I haven't done any exercise today. Hopefully I can drag myself into the livingroom now and ride the bike for at least 20 minutes.

Yesterday was a bad day. I started the day by cheating. I ate 3 cookies and 2 bagels. Then last night we went to a party and I ate two chips and a cracker (in addition to other, less sinful treats). Then I came home and had a big bowl of chili and scooped it up with a bunch of saltines. Sigh.
The good news is that I just finished my exercise for the day, and I have met my weekly goal of 5 hours of cardio. And I can take tomorrow off. Also, I got on the scale and even with the bad day, I have still lost a lot. (the official weigh-in is tomorrow, so I will reveal the total then)
Hope you are having a good weekend. I told Mom about this blog, but when I realized you hadn't told her about it, I refused to tell her where to find it. Since she is weighing in with us, maybe we should tell her? It's up to you.
