Satisfying a Craving

I slept in this morning and it felt so good. I slept until about 6:45. For breakfast I had 1 cup of Irish Oatmeal and 1 medium sized peach mixed in for 2.5 points. Such a filling breakfast for so few points!

I whipped up an iced coffee to drink throughout the morning for 1.5 points. I’ve been using this Vanilla Chai Soy drink that I found on sale for $1.50 instead of milk and creamer- SO good.

For lunch, I had 164g cooked whole wheat pasta topped with 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce for 4.5 points.

I also had 1 cup of lettuce and 1/2 cup of Pear tomatoes from the garden, topped with 1 Tbs. of Italian dressing for 1 point.

What a filling lunch for only 5.5 points! Pasta is one of those things that will make me gain weight the next day if I eat it for supper- hmmm I’ll have to see if I gain tomorrow since I ate it for lunch. This is one of my favorite meals- so maybe that’s the secret! :)

I was craving something sweet, but just for the taste because I was full- so I filled a glass full of Crystal Light- Yum!

For a snack a little later, I had 1 cup of grapes for 1 point.

By the time I got done working I was sooo hungry! But I stayed out of the cupboards and waited for hubby to get home so we could go out to eat at Subway!! I had a 6” Oven Roasted Chicken breast with Baked BBQ Lay’s for 8 points.

We went grocery shopping and ran our errands. I ran in Old Navy to return some jeans my husband didn’t like, and of course I have to look around! I did find this awesome bag that I can wear on my back when we ride our bikes.

I love all of the little sayings (and that it’s pink!) on it and it was only like $2.

I have been craving a good dessert (other than ice cream) and I had 13.5 points left. I have been picturing Cheesecake Factory style cheesecake or a nice slice of triple layer chocolate cake- this has been going on for weeks. lol So we went to Village Inn when we were all done shopping. We got a piece of cheesecake and a piece of French Silk Supreme pie and split them both. This was 12.5 points. I tried to take a picture of it but it was really dark and my husband gets so embarrassed and mad at me when I pull out my camera in restaurants. lol So it didn’t turn out at all. Sorry! So I hope this satisfies my craving!

Another night of crazy weather in Iowa!

Have a great weekend!
