Day 19... Start of a new work week

This morning started off a little different. We are having car issues so we are down to one. I had to work from home in the morning to wait for my husband to wake up. He worked over night, so I waited so that  we could drive in to the office together.

For breakfast I had 2 cups of fruit loops cereal (6 pts) and 3/4th cup of 2% milk (2 pts). I was pretty satisfied after that, not stuffed but I felt I had enough.

Oh I forgot to mention, the night before when we had Chinese, I had some left over that I planned to take for lunch but I left it out all night.. I was really upset with myself about that. So for lunch I had a salad with grilled chicken and light Italian dressing and a apple. Total point value of my lunch was 4 pts. However the red onions did an number on my breath! For a dessert I had a jello chocolate pudding cup (3 pts).

Ok so here is a bit of a confession.. I bought a box of strawberry cupcakes because I felt like I could control my urges to eat the whole box. 1 cupcake is 5 pts and the first night I had them I had 2. Now yes I had enough points to cover what I ate but I kinda felt like it was empty calories. Now that doesn't mean that they weren't good! I brought one to work to have as a snack.. and I had it during my midday snack. It taste great but I didn't feel like it provided energy or anything that I could use as fuel.. I have decided to lay off the rest of those cupcakes!

On the way home from work I had a 2 pt dark chocolate WW bar, to tide me over until dinner. I had planned to make Hamburger Helper for dinner.. Nice meal with low points. I browned the meat and put on broccoli as a side. Well.. I was just about to put the mix in when I realized I didn't have enough milk! So I had to think quick.. I could still make it with less milk.. but it might not taste as good. I looked through my cabinets and found taco shells. Voila! We're having tacos! I had 2 boxes of shells, a whole grain shell by Ortega (3 pts for 2 shells) and some thin corn shells by La Tiara (1 pt per shell). I had some 2% mild cheddar (2 pts for 1/4th cup), some lettuce that I shredded and a tomato. We still had  healthy dinner after all. I had 2 Ortega shells and 1 La Tiara shell then I made a little salad without the shells. After I figured everything I had about 13 points, most of that was for the ground beef!

After dinner we had dessert, I had a WW Giant Fudge Bar (3 pts) those used to be 1 point on the old plan and 2 thin mint cookies (2 pts) I was a pretty good day!

Until tomorrow!
