Snacky Day

Unfortunately, we did not get our bike ride in last night because I started feeling sick to my stomach. I’m not sure what that was about, but I was achy all over and really pale.

This morning, I still wasn’t feeling 100% so decided to keep it light for breakfast. I had 1 cup of banana nut cheerios with milk and a banana for 4.5 points.

After breakfast, I went back upstairs and went back to sleep for a couple more hours. I love days when I can do this- I should probably have spent the time doing something more profitable, but it was 5 o’clock in the morning! Can you blame me for going back to bed? :)

I started to feel hungry right before I left, so I made a peach smoothie for 2.5 points.

I snacked on a few of these for 2 points.

After that, I felt MUCH better! Whew! It was a rainy day today. I hate walking to class in the rain while wearing flip flops!

After school, I headed straight home. On the way, I ate an apple for 1 point.

As I started creating my salad, it reminded me of Culver’s Cashew Chicken salad-so I added cashews! It also had chicken, avocado and tomatoes. I used light ranch dressing. This was the best salad I have had in a LONG time. SO DELICIOUS! It was 8.5 points.

I also had a slice of banana bread for 3 points.

And dessert was chocolate mint Genisoy crisps. These were pretty good but I like the Cinnamon ones better. These were 2 points.

And I was craving sweets and almost ate these without measuring- but did at the last second. 2 points of chocolate chips.

Today was my day off. I spent the majority of the time doing homework for one class. I volunteered to be the note taker today- not realizing what a big task it was! I shouldn’t have done that because I could have really used the time this afternoon to study. But on the days you are a note taker, you have to take extensive notes and then type them up and make sure there are no errors, especially spelling errors as a lot of the words are in a different language! So that took a lot of googling and time! Then I had to email them to the entire class. Oh well, at least I got that out of the way. I have a big test on Thursday and I’m not sure when I will have ample time to study as we have a lot going on the next couple of days.

I signed in to watch Hungry Girl’s webcast. It was kind of funny because she asked for any questions and I randomly said that she was so successful and I wondered how she got started. She answered that question! lol. It was kind of a silly answer but it was pretty crazy how fast she answered it after I typed it. Those things really are live! They were giving away 50 prizes with Fiber One. I’m hoping I win something!! No email yet though… :( There were a lot of people signed in to watch.

For supper, I had salmon, broccoli and wild/brown rice for 6 points.

For dessert I had a 1/2 serving of vanilla ice cream drizzled with sugar free chocolate syrup for 1.5 points.

I was still hungry after that for whatever reason. I had a small slice of toast with Nutella for 3.5 points.

That puts me at using all my weekly points and .5 activity point this week. Looking back at these pictures, I was so snacky today! I see a chocolate theme going on too…oh boy. Better tomorrow, right?

Hopefully I have a loss tomorrow. Today was slightly up from WI day last week, which is normal for me. But hopefully I lose! Wish me luck!
