Hawaiian style

Last nights dinner was so good. It was so good that I thought a picture couldn't even do it justice. I want you to be surprised by its goodness.

Okay, here's the truth, I took the pictures without the card in the camera and don't feel like setting the camera up on this computer to upload the pic, so we are going with trust here people. But I swear,if the words Pineapple Pork sound good then you wont be disappointed.

Here's the deets:
19oz boneless pork cut into cubes
1/2C onion in big chunks
1C pineapple cubed (I used canned)
1C pineapple juice (not syrup)
1/4C soy sauce
1T garlic minced
1T fresh ginger sliced thin
1T flour

Toss pork cubes in flour, brown with the onion. Add in garlic and ginger stir for about 3 minutes. Add pineapple and remaining wet ingredients and allow to boil, simmer for about 10 minutes. Sauce will thicken a little upon cooling. I served mine with 1/4c rice for 2 additional points and it was just enough rice. The pork dish is 7pts for 4 LARGE portions. I had broccoli as and additional side. Easy!

Today I was out and about and missed lunch. I knew I would so I prepared for it by having apple slices on hand. When I got home, I was ravenous. I thanked God for making the incredibly awesome chock-full-of-goodness sweet potato. I am trying to keep points low today since we are planning on having pizza tonight. ACK! I keep thinking in the back of mind what my leader said "you have points for it". He also said that people who don't eat foods because they are scared of them, and who don't eat out, don't typically do as well on this program, because they never stop looking at it like a diet. Its a lifestyle a program. There will always be pizza, and there will always be pizza night, it's how I prepare for it that makes the difference.

Im going to try and get a jog in tonight, I typically like to do it in the morning, and hope that I dont get in a carb coma tonight after pizza, lol.

Oh, I know you should usually start things with a quote but yesterday one popped right out at me from no where, i must have had quotes on the brain. I thought Id leave with it today:

"if there is no struggle, there is no progress..." Frederick Douglas
