Today started with me cooking breakfast for my family. Since I am now the only one counting points (lol) I cook my eggs separate from theirs. I had 3 eggs over medium, 3 pieces of turkey sausage and 2 piece of my Smartwheat toast with butter spray with reduced sugar jelly. My kids actually prefer it to the regular stuff!
For lunch it was light and simple, I had ramen noodles..which are 10 points for the package!! I made sure to drink plenty of water to flush the salt. I also had a banana.
I went to Costco and I passed up a lot of samples.. very proud of myself. I did however have the light yogurt, some tuna and some tomato soup. I counted 5 points for everything I had. I then stopped by the food court and I couldn't pass up the Churro.. they were like 5 feet long.. ok maybe I exaggerate but they were at least 1 foot. I ate half and gave the other have to my hubby. I looked that up on E-tools and counted 4 points.
For dinner I made chicken with sauteed onions, some chow mein noodles and green beans.
I had a cupcake for dessert.

Day 51...Pretty Normal Day!
When I posted day 50 it kinda hit me.. yeah I'm down 15lbs but it would've been nice to maybe have been 25.. at least half of the number of days I've been at this. I then remembered that this is a journey and not a overnight wham bam miracle. I'm not giving up.. but it's helping me put things in perspective.
For breakfast I had a banana and coffee, I was too lazy to wash out my oatmeal bowl :)
For lunch I had a big salad with Zesty Light Italian dressing and a Healthy Choice Cafe Steamer. Chicken Pesto Classico.. and I was actually pretty good. Last time I had Healthy Choice it wasn't very good.
I snacked on some 94% FF popcorn.
Now here is the crazy part.. I had 40 points left for dinner but I don't ever want to go in to dinner thinking that I should eat ALL of those points. We went to Planet Sub and I remember on the old plan the chicken parm sandwich wasn't that bad. I ordered that and soup. I then found the nutritional information and started to figure my points. The sandwich was 17 points and the soup 10. Thank goodness I had enough points left to cover that meal. I passed on dessert because I didn't feel like I needed or wanted it.
It was a pretty good day.

Day 50.. I can't believe I just typed 50!!!
Coming off of the high of being 15lbs lighter I don't lose momentum.. if anything it pushes me to lose another 15 and then another 15! I hope is that now that I'm working out more then those pounds will come off quicker!
This morning started the same, oatmeal and coffee. I did add a banana this morning.
For lunch I had a Chicken Parmesan Smart Ones with a salad with light Italian. I had another cupcake.. I counted it though.
For snack, I had a WW Cinnamon Bar.
Well... my husband who is no longer on WW asked if I wanted a small fry from McDonald's.. I was screaming no inside my head but yes came out of my mouth.... I counted it.. 6 points.. and I can stay.. they were pretty good..
For dinner I made shake and bake chicken drumsticks with the crispy coating. I saw a recipe on the box to dip the chicken in barbecue sauce before coating. I was nervous to try it but it was something different. With that we had corn on the cob with butter spray and broccoli. We also had the Bread Du Jour Cracked wheat rolls for 2 points a piece, I had 2 with butter spray..
I ended the night with a cupcake.. I know but I had the points and I really wanted one so I ate it.

Day 49... Weigh Day!!!
Today I had a plan on how I would attack it, I knew that I had to weigh in today so of course that meant wear light clothing. I got to work and started with a simple breakfast. I had coffee with 1 tablespoon of powder creamer and a packet of oatmeal. This is actually not a bad start to the day, keeps me full until lunch time.
Lunch I brought it today.. GO ME!! I had a salad with mushrooms and light Italian dressing and a Smart Ones Creamy Rigatoni with Broccoli. I didn't snack because I knew I had to weigh in.
I went to the gym during the afternoon to get a "last chance workout" yeah I might be a dork for quoting The Biggest Loser but I feel like at times I'm going through my journey with them.. they are just going at an accelerated pace :) I had a really good workout, I pushed myself harder than I did the day before. I cooled off by shooting around in the gym.
By time I left my legs felt like jello and the first thing I wanted to do was eat something but I didn't want to chance anything affecting that scale.
So I make it to the center and I strip off as many pieces of clothing that I can.... down 1.2lbs.. with is a total of FIFTEEN POUNDS!!!! I was sooo excited! I feel like I've made some really great strides and the sacrifices that I've made are paying off!
When my husband came to pick me up I shared the good news and well .. I ate a cupcake.. now I know you might think this is horrible but I had the points left AND I haven't had a dessert in a couple of days so I felt that I could give myself this little treat.
When I got home I had a small snack of cheese and PB crackers, the 100 calorie packs. I made dinner which was Cheeseburger Macaroni Hamburger Helper. I made it with skim milk and it saved 2 points per serving. We had wheat rolls, spinach and asparagus with it. I had 21 points left for the day and I didn't have another dessert!
Breakfast: 5 points
Lunch: 8 points

Day 48... Tuesday and back to work...
Having that extra day off threw off my schedule.. I felt so lost this morning trying to get ready. I made it and we were off...
I started the day with coffee and a cereal bar, I'm out my protein so I need to pick some more up .. pronto!
Lunch my friend talked me in to sushi... you ask.. how is this possible.. well.. it's sushi :)
I had a California roll, egg drop soup and a salad with ginger dressing.
I snacked on some weight watcher products. The apples and cinnamon bar, I love that! Then a little later I had a dark chocolate turtle.. best ever!
Guess what I did today Bobby.. I WORKED OUT!! I was pressed for time so I went in on about 30 mins of cardio... tomorrow weight training.
Dinner we went to a steak house.. I feel like some of my decisions aren't the best lately... they bring rolls to the table.. it's like bread is my weakness! I had 2, then I had to try fried green beans.. I had 2 1/2. Then I had a salad with low fat ranch, and a bbq chicken with cheese and fried onions strings. Now.. I pulled the cheese off but I ate the onions.. but I counted them. They brought my rolls but I didn't have another.. I drank plenty of water to fill up any empty space left making me think I wanted anything more.

I haven't had President's Day off since I was in school.. now we won't talk about how long ago that was but let's just say... it's been some years.. (about 2 wink wink) It was nice to sleep in though!
For breakfast, I started off really well.. lol.. notice I said started off.. I had 1 1/2 cups of Honey nut Cheerios and 1 cup of skim milk..
For lunch, we went to the movies and to the fork and screen. I had a grilled salmon sandwhich with bacon and a side salad with ranch.. trust me, this was prob one of the better options.
I didn't have a snack... again.. the eating choices weren't "great"
For dinner we had soft tacos. We used low carb and low fat flour tortilla's, lean ground beef and had green beans.. my family is very picky. I had some fat free refried beans and 2% shredded cheese. It was pretty good.

Lunch: 21 points

Day 46... Sunday heading to church!
Getting to church on Sunday's are really hectic... we didn't really have anything to eat, the adults that is. We stopped at Quicktrip on the way and I grabbed coffee and a banana.
The sermon was wonderful for what I could hear over children falling, kids whining and being poked by bigger kids... fun!
After church we went back to my in laws for dinner.. and wow... what a dinner. We has rotisserie chicken, fried chicken, greens, green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls and did I mention RIBS!!! I think I did a pretty good job... or so I thought!
I had 2 ribs, 1 chicken breast, 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes, 3 ROLLS with butter.. I know I know :( greens and green beans and corn. Then later on I had 1 brownie.. I figured I was probably tapping in to my weekly points.
I thought I made good choices while not depriving myself.
Later that night we had Chinese, I figured I needed to eat something loaded with veggies to counteract what I had done earlier. So stay tuned for my point break out.. mad about it!
Breakfast: 1 point
Lunch: 40... yes I said 40 points in one freaking sitting!!! You know ribs are about 8 points a piece!!??!?!?!? I was really mad at myself when I added up all the points.. needless to say.. I won't be eating ribs again anytime soon!
Dinner: 10 points with rice and Shrimp and veggies

Day 45... Saturday and I'm feeling good.. I think
Let me tell you about today... I had this idea that I was going to have a great day.. and for the most part it was.. so this is how it went down.
For breakfast I had 2 fried eggs, a half piece of lean ham, half of a waffle with fruit compote. A side of fruit instead of potatoes, and 1 cup of coffee with half and half.
For lunch I had a bag of baked lays and a pb&j... I bought this new natural peanut butter.. man... I will go back to the full of fat stuff as soon as this jar is gone! UGH!!!
For dinner we went to a Mexican restaurant.. I have to talk about how good I was.. so proud of myself. I had about 4 or 5 tortilla chips with chunky salsa. I had 1/2 cup of refried beans, I didn't eat the rice. I order chicken fajitita's and ate 2 tortillas with guacamole and salsa and roughly 2 cups of chicken. YUMMY!!! I drank water with dinner so that saved more points.
For dessert we made chocolate covered strawberries.

Day 44.. today is Friday.. that's it!
Today I started with coffee.. I was only working half a day at work and I needed to get a lot done. I was going to treat myself to a fat free cappuccino from Quick Trip (yes I'm fancy) but the machine was out of order. I ended up having coffee with cream and splenda.
For lunch we had to eat on the go so we went to Wendy's. I had a crispy chicken sandwich with a side salad with fat free french. It's not easy eating a salad in the car! I had a couple of fries too.. I counted 1 point for the fries.
Sooo.. I had a real treat! We stopped at Dunkin Donuts and I got 1 jelly filled Munchkin with was 2 pts and 1 chocolate frosted donut which is 6 points. I ate the munchkin for a snack and decided to eat the other donut for dessert.
Dinner we had spaghetti, whole wheat rolls and green beans... prepared by the hubby.. WOO HOO!!! Mainly because I had to get a report for work done but still.. thank you baby for making dinner!
I did have my donut for dessert and I'm not going to lie and say it was horrible.. IT WAS FABULOUS!!!

Day 43... Today I will .... dun dun dun... WORK OUT!!!
This morning started off kinda rocky... then followed by I ran out of the good protein powder. I tried the other stuff again... and guess what.. STILL NASTY. I sucked it down though so I could get that protein... I just don't like to chew my coffee! I also had a banana and a cereal bar.
For lunch I brought a turkey sandwich with some chicken and veggies soup. It really bothers me that they still have products with the old point value on store shelves.. it's misleading. When I re-figured the point value it increased by one.. oh did I tell you when I lost weight I lost another daily point.. not mad about that at all!
So I worked out.. I went to the gym for an abbreviated workout, I had to get my daughter to girl scouts in time. I walked and ran on the treadmill ... guess what I didn't pass out.. hahaha.. I did have to slow that sucka down because I didn't want to fly off the back of it! It actually felt pretty good to get back in the gym. I'm looking forward to going back.. oh and my makeup didn't melt .. BONUS!
When I got home I had a small snack of some kinda of natural peanut butter.. yeah i didn't like that.. as soon as this jar is gone I'm going back to the good stuff!
I made burgers and fries for dinner. I mixed on pound of ground beef with one pound of ground turkey. My family loved it! I also tried these new Orowheat Sandwich Thins... I'm not sure how i feel about these. I still have my Smartwheat Wonder bread that is 1 pt a slice vs this thin and I mean UBER THIN thing that was 3 points.. I think this is the first and last time I buy this. Dinner was good, but fries are hard, you only get 12 to count for 3 points. I think I had about 15 so I added an extra point. I put my burgers in the recipe builder and they came out to about 6 points per patty.. not horrible.. but mixed with a 3 point THIN.. not all that great. I had 2 because I had the points and I was pretty hungry, however I wrapped the 2nd one in lettuce.
Pretty good day I would say.

Day 42... Today is WEIGH DAY!!!
I have to get on the scale today... I'm going to be real honest. When I gained last week I felt a small twinge of defeat.. I was like if I get on this scale 2 weeks in a row and gain I want to give up... That thought crossed my mind but I felt that I've come this far and it's not time to quit.. it's never time to quit... That was my first setback, I need to plan to have a few because I am only human but the thought of giving up is a thing of the past.. I will just look at it as.. Tomorrow is a new day...
Ok now that I'm done with my Hallmark moment..
So I have to get on the scale today, I am very careful to pick out clothing that would be lighter.. and if I have to freeze in the colder weather, then so be it. Every thing counts!
I started my day with my coffee and protein power, some yogurt and a banana. I am loving protein powder!
I am going out for a girls night with my friend so I'm skipping the meeting tonight so I'm going to weigh in over lunch. I get to WW and I strip down as far as I can.. I wore a tank top under my sweater.. this was part of my plan.. stripping! :)
GLORY!!! I lost 2.8lbs... I was ready to do a happy dance.. ok.. I did a happy dance.. and they did it with me.. I was sooo excited to see almost 3lbs gone in one week!
With that satisfacation I went back to work and ate my lunch I packed. I had a turkey sandwich, Lay's light chips and some steamed aspargus.
For a snack I had a sweet and salty WW bar.
Just before I left work I was going to the movies and I didn't want to be tempted with popcorn. I had another WW bar, this time the Apple and Cinnamon. When I got there I ordered a large diet soda.. something to sip on to keep me occupied and sweet to curve any cravings. It worked!
We went to Chili's for dinner, now i love this girl to death but she was like you're on your own. She ordered a triple dipper with burgers, egg rolls, and cheese sticks.. then she ordered dessert. I ordered salmon, grilled w/o butter, grilled shrimp with broccoli and a side salad with low fat ranch. You know.. I really didn't even pay attention to what she ate, I didn't crave it, I didn't ask for a piece of anything.. Really I was just fine. I had water to drink and I was very satisfied.
On the way home, I stopped by McDonalds and got ice cream cones for me and the hubby.. nice end to a great day!

Day 41.. Tuesday .. just another day
When I got to work this morning I was really hungry.. I grabbed a cereal bar before my computer was logged in. It did the trick to hold me until I got my protein powder and coffee.
For lunch I had a chicken pita with a small Greek salad.. I tried not to lick the plate but I'm not sure if I was successful.
For lunch I had another WW baked apple and cinnamon bar.. I ran out so I need to stock up when I go back.
Dinner we had chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans and 1 roll. I drank a small cup of kool aid, I wish I hadn't it wasn't good enough to waste points on.

Day 40.. Monday .. Valentine's Day!
This morning started as many Monday's do.. but my daughter was so excited about the holiday that she couldn't wait to give me her homemade card. It was so cute! She made one for her brother and her father too. I got to work and left a V card for my hubby so he knows how much I love him!
ok enough sappy stuff. So for breakfast I had coffee and protein powder.
Lunch I had a salad with grilled chicken and fat free Italian dressing.
At the cafeteria they had samples of the new peanut butter snickers, I took 2. I had those after lunch, when I looked up the point value it was 7 points for 2 squares.. well it was worth it :)
For snack I had a WW baked apple and cinnamon bar.. they are so yummy!
For dinner my husband went and bought a nice dinner for us to make together. We had chicken breast coated in shake n bake.. angel hair pasta and broccoli. He bought some sparkling grape juice..

Day 38... going out for Valentine's Day!
I knew we were going to dinner tonight for Vday but I had no idea where we were going. I kept that in mind and tried to eat light throughout the day. Oh I should mention.. my husband quit Weight Watchers for now. He was diagnosed with high blood pressure so he felt that he needed to work on a diet for blood pressure.
This morning I took my daughter to Lowe's for a craft session.. We had to grab breakfast on the way. We went to McDonald's and I remember how the egg mcmuffin vale meal wasn't too bad. So I ordered that and a bottle of water. When I got home and plugged it in to the etools tracker.. OMG.. the sandwich was 8 points and the hashbrown was 4 points. I really need to learn these new points when I'm on the fly.
For lunch I got Sonic for the family.... remember my husband is supposed to watch his sodium intake.. YEAH RIGHT.. he's loving eating whatever again.. So anyway, I got a salad from the store and ate a Lean Cuisine.
We went to the movies and I had a couple of hand fulls of popcorn and a WW snack bar and a large diet coke.
For dinner he took me to KONA GRILL... OMG. I have a pact with a friend about eating sushi.. but wow how could I resist.. I will make it up to her! I still tried to make good decisions.. I had 2 rolls and some chili then we split a brownie for dessert. I don't have a clue how many points but I know I went in to dinner with 31 points so I will just have to open that I didn't exceed that.

Day 37... Friday.. still on track!
I woke up and I felt better this morning.. For breakfast I had a special K cereal bar and coffee with my protein powder. I've found that the protein powder really helps keep me full until lunch. I used to have those hunger pains but they are now a thing of the past.
For lunch we had Boston Market. I had the 3 piece dark meal with a side of steamed veggies. I didn't want the cornbread but they seem to continue to put it on my plate! I threw it away. I did order a half Mediterranean salad as a side I noticed it had chicken on it, I wasn't aware so I decided that I didn't want to eat that for lunch. I had to rush to a meeting so I had to throw the chicken and veggies back quick.
I had to leave work early to do drug testing for my job, that took some time. After we sat there for about an hr I started to get hungry. I decided to eat my salad for a snack when I got home.. WOW that was great.. I think I have a new favorite at Boston Market. I also had a weight watchers Baked Cinnamon Apple snack bar.
For dinner we went to a local pizza place, it was so hard because I wanted 1 slice of pizza and a salad. That didn't happen because my husband didn't want pizza. I was a little bummed about that. I ended up ordering a Chicken Gyro with a side salad and water to drink. It wasn't great but it was just ok. Later that night I had a cupcake but I feel like I burned that off when we did Just Dance on the Wii. That is a fun game but you have to be in better shape, I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest.

Day 36... Time to recover and start fresh!
This morning started pretty run of the mill. I had a very busy morning so all I had time for was a banana. I started to feel ill that I had to go home but I wanted to eat.. so we went to chipotle and I made a choice to have a chicken burrito bowl, rice, black beans lettuce, a sprinkle of cheese and guacamole. It was sooo good and I didn't miss the sour cream or loads of cheese I usually get. I also had a side of veggies to make sure I was full.
As the day went on I started to feel better.. I snacked on some jello pudding.
For dinner I had a footlong sub from Mr. Goodcents with pepperjack cheese and loads of veggies. I thought it was a pretty good day.

Day 35... Weigh Day!
Good morning! Today is the day I weigh in.. I'm nervous after this weekend but I will still face the scale. This morning started off pretty well, I had a cup of yogurt and half a strip of lower sodium bacon before I left home. When I got to work I had my coffee with the protein powder.
For lunch my team went to a Chinese buffet.. I wasn't scared..I knew I could do this and be ok. I started with egg drop soup I know that's considered a power food. I choose dishes with veggie options. I had a small portion of mushroom chicken, some baby bok choy, 5 pieces of a California roll, 1 chicken kabob and 2 steamed dumplings. I drank plenty of water to help flush the high salt content.
I don't snack because I remember how I snacked on those cherries before I weighed in before and felt really full. I went straight for the scale after work... I gained 1/2 a pound. I was so sad, I thought I had done really well with choices but I guess not. I felt like a let myself down and I also felt that I wanted to give up for a brief moment. Well it was more than a brief moment.. that night I felt defeated and I ate what I wanted.
After the meeting she gave out samples of a new snack bar, it was so good that I bought a box of those and another box as well. I ate 2 bars for 3 pts a piece.
Now here is the hard part.. I'm ashamed of myself but this is supposed to keep me honest right. For dinner we went to McDonald's.. I was still going to try to be somewhat good, but that didn't happen. I THOUGHT I ordered a quarter pounder, which states it's 13 points but somehow I ordered a double quarter pounder!!!! A large fry and a large sweet tea.. yes... this is bad and I feel horrible.
So here is my food breakdown for the day.
Breakfast I used 5 points total.
Lunch I used 10 points total.
Snack I used 6 points for the snack bars
Dinner I used 37 points.. that is the last time I will do that!
In total I used 58 points for the day, I went over by 4 out of my weekly. Tomorrow, I will be back on track!

Day 32.... Superbowl Sunday... sad face!
This morning started hurried.. I didn't get a chance to eat breakfast. We rushed to church, very good.. AMAZING sermon.. my father in law shut it down!
After service we stopped by the store pick up the food for Sunday dinner... I got everything to make a salad.. except the lettuce! I was pretty upset with myself.. that was going to be my last saving grace. The dinner menu was as follows.
Ribs
BBQ Chicken
Pinto Beans
Greens
Cornbread
Mashed Potatoes
Potato Salad
Rolls
Chocolate Cake
Lemonade Pie
and Rotel
Let me tell you how hard it was not to jump in face first without oxygen... so this is what I ate.. oh BTW.. I did have 1 1/2 chicken strips as a snack so I didn't pass out.
I had 4 ribs, 1 chicken thigh with the skin removed, about 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup of pinto beans and a good portion of greens.
I didn't even count anything from today, I tried to figure ribs but it was much harder than I thought. I thought I got up to about 15 for the ribs alone. After that I was pretty full for the rest of the day, but I had to make Rotel an it was sooo good. I didn't get a whole portion I just grazed... so that's why I decided.. NOT TO COUNT. I haven't had a cheat day and I didn't really count this as a cheat day because I don't feel like I bombed but it wasn't the best day.
Good thing about weight watchers is.. I GET TO START FRESH TOMORROW!

Day 31... Saturday's are fun!
This morning started pretty good.. I made breakfast and it was great. I love the fact that I can scramble cheese in my eggs and not feel guilty. For breakfast I scrambled eggs with cheese, made center cut pork bacon. I stretched pancake batter to make them smaller which in turn would make lower points. I had a banana as a filler.
For lunch.. this was interesting.. I was at a baby shower and I was like decisions decisions.. However, one decision was quite clear.. there was a Costco cake with the cream cheese filling.. I was definitely having that!
I choose small items from what I wanted. I had a small portion of pasta salad, a small portion of the Mexican layer dip, a few tortilla chips and a tortilla roll up. YUMMY.. then I had a smaller piece of the cake from Costco.. I was pretty excited I made good decisions.
For dinner I needed something with lower points because I ate blindly at lunch. I had shrimp with mixed veggies and rice for dinner. Dessert was a small carton of skinny cow ice cream!

Day 28.. Weigh Day!
Today was another snow day.. which meant another day in the house. The blizzard has passed and we got a TON of snow..
I made breakfast this morning. I scrambled 4 eggs and 1 slice of 2% cheese. I split this with my daughter so I had about 5 points for eggs. I learned that it's the same point value for 1 slice of 2% cheese as it is for 1/2 slice... I will use a whole slice for myself next time :) I had 2 turkey sausage links (3 pts) and 2 slices of wheat toast with butter spray (2 pts) and 1 tbsp of reduced sugar jelly (1 pt)
For my morning snack I had a banana.
Lunch I had my turkey sandwich (4 pts) and I made myself 1 cup of chili. I decided I didn't want the whole thing so I only ate half. Eating half of my chili fixin's gave me a point total of 5 .. 9 points for lunch.. not bad right.
I didn't have an afternoon snack... today is weigh day..
I have to talk about my inspiration.... of course today I watched the latest episode of the biggest loser. So I figured, I should shovel the driveway before I went to weigh in as my last chance work out.. lol yes I know I'm a dork but hey.. I took pride in it. It took me an hour and a half to shovel my driveway.. talk about sore and cold! I felt better about getting on the scale. Before I left I made sure to empty out.. lol I know TMI.. but last week I was .2lbs away from 10lbs.
I went to weight watchers.. I looked like a dang fool. I had on capri work out pants in single digit temps with my snow boots.. lol I wanted to get an accurate weight.. I got on the scale.. today I weigh 339.1lbs! That's a total of 12.1lbs lost since I started a month ago, I lost 2.3lbs this week. I am so very excited.. I plugged my weight in on E-tools and I'm losing too quickly.. just imagine when I kick my workouts in to gear.. I'm planning on giving E-tools a heart attack!
Dinner was pretty simple, I made baked BBQ chicken breast, green beans and chicken and broccoli noodles. I also had some reduced fat crescent rolls. I had 1 chicken breast with BBQ sauce (5 pts) green beans are 0, the noodles were 5 pts for half a cup and the crescent rolls were 5 pts for 2.
I had a cup of jello for dessert (2 pts) very refreshing

It took me an hour and a half to shovel my driveway.. talk about sore and cold! I felt better about getting on the scale. Before I left I made sure to empty out.. lol I know TMI.. but last week I was .2lbs away from 10lbs.
I went to weight watchers.. I looked like a dang fool. I had on capri work out pants in single digit temps with my snow boots.. lol I wanted to get an accurate weight.. I got on the scale.. today I weigh 339.1lbs! That's a total of 12.1lbs lost since I started a month ago, I lost 2.3lbs this week. I am so very excited.. I plugged my weight in on E-tools and I'm losing too quickly.. just imagine when I kick my workouts in to gear.. I'm planning on giving E-tools a heart attack!
Dinner was pretty simple, I made baked BBQ chicken breast, green beans and chicken and broccoli noodles. I also had some reduced fat crescent rolls. I had 1 chicken breast with BBQ sauce (5 pts) green beans are 0, the noodles were 5 pts for half a cup and the crescent rolls were 5 pts for 2.
I had a cup of jello for dessert (2 pts) very refreshing
Until tomorrow!
Day 27.. Another snow day!
I got up early to go to the store pending the blizzard that was heading for us. I stocked up, I didn't want to have to go back out!
So the bad thing was I was soo tired when I got home I didn't feel like cooking breakfast. I poured a bowl of cereal, I measured 2 cups of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and 1 cup of 1% milk. Do you know for that breakfast it was 12 points.. the cereal was 9 points alone. I won't make that mistake again! I had a banana to go with it.
For lunch I made a sandwich, I love this Wonder Smart wheat bread.. I don't feel guilty about eating it! 2 slices of bread (2 pts) 1 slice of 2% cheese (1 pt) and turkey breast (1 pt). I had a can of healthy request Campbell's soup. The can has 2 servings so I had both :) for 6 points. 10 points for lunch isn't bad.
For an afternoon snack I had about 1 cup of grapes.
For dinner I made chili, I used the ground turkey and lean ground beef. I was so excited for it. I cut up 2 onions and 2 bell peppers and multiple cloves of garlic. I had 2 cups (12 points) of chili and 1/4th cup of cheese (3 pts). My husband got the regular stuff instead of 2%.. not that bad. I also had 10 whole wheat crackers (3 pts).
I ended my night with 1 1/2 strawberry cupcakes (8 pts). They are all gone now and hopefully another box doesn't find it's way in to this house.
Tomorrow is weigh day.. I'm excited..
Until tomorrow

Day 26... Another Monday
Today started just as any other Monday... well expect it was a cold drizzle outside. I was putting my children in the car and I almost fell about 5 times.. I was never so happy to make it safely to the drivers seat of my car!
Once I made it to work without falling, I was praying to God and then I had to thank Him. So for breakfast I tried that protein powder again.. I swear I must be the only person in the world who CAN NOT mix this stuff in coffee. My goal is to make a protein shake with it.. I'm sure that won't be bad. So I used about 1/2 of the scoop (1 pt) and I had 2 Special K Strawberry cereal bars (5 pts). When I plugged that in to the etools I was shocked at how different this plan is. On the old points plan those bars were 3.5 pts but now they're 5. I had a 6 point breakfast.. not bad.
For lunch I had a gift card from Panera that I wanted to use. I have to give a shout out to Panera for listing their calories on their menu board.. it make it sooo much easier to make a good choice. I know I didn't know the points right then and there but based on the calories I knew I could make a better choice. I choose the pick 2 half of the Smokehouse Turkey Panini with bacon and cheese (YAY!!) and half a Greek salad. I removed the olives and the pepper. In total that meal was 14 points. I was pretty satisfied with my choice. I selected the apple as the side, I figured I could eat that later for a snack.
I was so busy at work again I didn't really get a chance to snack.. but I was still good. I wasn't starving.. I think my stomach is starting to shrink.
For dinner I had 2 cups of shrimp and mixed veggies (6 pts) and 1 1/2 cup of rice (8 pts) For dessert I had a weight watchers giant fudge bar (3 pts)
Pretty good day.. until tomorrow!
