It sure was hard to get myself going this morning! But I got up and had 1 cup cheerios with 1 medium banana sliced on top and 1/2 cup of 1% milk. I also had a cup of 100% Orange Juice for a total of 6.5 points.
I went back to bed for about an hour and I still couldn’t get myself going! But I made an iced coffee. Oh I have missed all 1.5 points of you!
I brought back 16 animal crackers to snack on after my first break.
For lunch I had a broiled zucchini (in olive oil), and two tomato sandwiches on sandwich thins w/ light mayo (only one pictured). This was a total of 5.5 points.
I had a 1/2 cup of fat free sugar free chocolate pudding for dessert for 1 point.
I am finding I have way too many points left over at the end of the day on most days. Do you have any recommendations on healthy foods I can be eating in addition to what I’m already eating? Any improvements that you see I could be making?
I didn’t feel like eating anything on my last break- lunch was filling! But I did drink lots of water throughout the afternoon.
By the time I was done working, I was so hungry! But I didn’t snack, which I am proud of. It used to be routine, if I got off of work hungry, I would come home and just eat whatever, but I don’t do that anymore. I know it’s important to keep myself busy in times like that.
For supper, I had a hamburger, scalloped cabbage, tomatoes, and a slice of homemade bread topped with peach jam for 9.5 points.
For dessert I had light ice cream for 3 points.
On night’s like this, when I have something like beef (more points) for supper, I use more of my points. I had 2 points left over after supper, and that’s where I like to be. Last night was a little different, due to a light supper, and I had 14 points leftover- which is too many!
After supper I did things like unload the dishwasher, laundry, iron, get our new nephew’s gift bag together, pick tomatoes and beans from the garden, and pack for this weekend. We’re going to my sister’s and get to meet our new nephew and see my other niece and nephew (and sister and BIL, too!). We have a shopping trip to ON planned. I can’t wait!! I have a $20 gift check to spend and my sister in fashionable- so I’m hoping she can help me pick out some new clothes that I will look cute and stylish in. :) Hubby and I are also planning a Trader Joe’s stop on the way home!!
Later on, I did my usual arms strength training workout with the dumb bells. I really need to tone my arms! I measure myself every 10 lbs. lost and I seriously have not lost any inches in my arms since I started measure myself at 20 lbs. lost. I’m hoping the strength training will help.
Later on, hubby and I made chocolate banana smoothies. This was 3 points.
I ended off the day using 1 weekly point.
We all like chocolate- check out She fit’s giveaway!
