It’s that time again. Back to the daily grind. I slept so well last night after that 5k run last night. I love this weather where you can snuggle up under the warm covers and it’s cold outside. I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning!
For breakfast, I had a sandwich thin topped with peanut butter and a banana along with a cup of 1% milk for 7 points.
I made myself a French Vanilla Caramel Cream flavored coffee with a little fat free vanilla creamer for .5 point. This stuff is AMAZING!
I spent my break preparing my lunch, so I didn’t eat a snack. But for lunch, I had a recipe out of my new Hungry Girl cookbook. The Veggie Tuna Wrap Explosion. This was simply amazing. The recipe calls for one tortilla but I couldn’t fit it all in one (I had the little ones), so I had 2, but they were really low point. This was 4 points of amazing deliciousness. I also had 12 Special K Tomato Basil crackers for 1 point.
For dessert, I had one of my favorites, 1/2 cup of light vanilla yogurt with 1/2 cup of fresh strawberries for 1.5 points.
For my last break I had a cup of Naked Mighty Mango for 3 points. Look what Hubby found at Sam’s Club:
That’s right- a HUGE bottle of it that was VERY reasonably priced!!! Awesome find! I love this flavor, too!
For supper, it was another Hungry Girl Recipe. This time I made Kickin’ Chicken Pot Pie. The point value in the cookbook is 5 points per serving, but online it says 4. I will stick w/ the 5. I had 1 1/2 servings for 7.5 points. Lots of veggies per serving! I am not very good with dough, so ignore how ugly this looks. lol.
This was pretty good, although I am not a huge fan of frozen veggies.
Dessert was yet another Hungry Girl recipe- Yum Yum Brownie Muffins. This was 4 points.
I bought those pretty pumpkin muffin cups at Walmart this weekend- so cute! :) A lot better than the snowmen ones I’ve been using all year. lol
These are pretty good but I’m not sure if they are worth 4 points. The good news is that they’re made with pumpkin!
After supper, I worked on a homework assignment. I feel so much more pressure in my English major class than my elective course. There is much more attention to detail, perfection, and very smart people in the English classes. I guess that’s a good thing, but it makes it more stressful for me. But I’ll survive, I’m sure. I only have one more core English class left anyways. ;)
While I was doing my homework, I looked down and had to laugh at this.
I don’t know what she was looking at?! lol
After that, hubby and I headed out for our run. It was pitch black dark outside and the trail isn’t lit at all. So we ran 1 mile. It felt good to go a shorter distance after yesterdays 5k run. I burned 303 calories. The total time for 40 minutes, with a mile run within that time.
We saw a little snake on our run, but I think it was dead. Pretty disgusting!! I scared hubby half to death when I yelled, “Watch out for the snake!!” :) It was just a teeny tiny one though. I’m sure he was imagining a rattlesnake or something based on my reaction!
I ended the day with 4.5 points left. I don’t think I am going to eat anymore. I did enough damage this weekend, it’s not going to hurt me not to eat anymore tonight. :)
I hope you all had a great Monday!!
