Breakfast Fail

What a morning! I woke up feeling sad, missing hubby and I must have been dreaming something sad. Why else would I just wake up sad? But it’s weird how what you dream can affect you in reality.

I thought waffles sounded good for breakfast. I had the time and it would be something different for once. So I made up the mix and had a terrible time trying to figure out what points values, only to end up with this:

So I said forget it. Oatmeal it is. And I ended up with this:

I had already measured out my syrup for the waffles, so I decided to add it to my oatmeal and I ended up with this:

Ok, new bowl- FINALLY it went right. I had 1 cup of oatmeal, 1/4 cup SF maple syrup, a sliced banana and 1 cup of 1% milk for 8 points.

And then I had my pity party.

On my way to school, I ate an apple for 0 points.

School went alright today, I’m glad that the semester is coming to a close. One more week of class before finals! The good news is that I found the glove I lost on Tuesday- that made me happy!

On the way home, I ate a pear for 0 points.

For lunch, I had leftover HG Sassy Pumpkin Soup and a wrap made up of a tortilla, deli chicken breast and FF cheese for a total of 8 points.

For dessert, I had banana soft serve with light whipped topping for 0 points! I just realized this morning that banana soft serve would be free- AWESOME!

Before signing in to work, I brewed some coffee and mixed in Peppermint Mocha creamer. I started to feel sick and only drank 1/2 of it for 1 point.

Work went quickly, and while I was working the UPS man delivered my new WW tools! That was very fast. I ordered them on Monday evening!

I like the size of the new calculator. It fits in the palm of my hand.

That will make my life a lot easier when I’m cooking. I might even carry this in my purse. I should have bought 2 of them!

After work, I got a few things done around the house, figured out my points for the day and then it was time to run. I wanted to run before I ate supper or hard telling if I would have gotten it done! The goal was 2 miles again. This time I walked 1/4 mile, ran 1 mile, walked 1/4 mile and ran 1/2 mile. So total running of 1.5 miles. I was happy with this workout! It took me 30 minutes and I burned 228 calories. I ran 1/2 mile at 5 mph and then alternated between 4-5 mph after that. I’m trying to increase my speed. Anyone know any programs for that? Maybe I shouldn’t be concerned with speed at this point because I am still overweight. But I don’t want to limit myself either because I firmly believe you are capable of anything if you believe in yourself. I have proved that to myself time and time again on this journey! So that completes 3.54 miles of the Merry-thon!

For supper, I made a dish that I happened to stumble upon when I had leftovers in the house and I LOVE THIS. I mix 1/2 cup of vegetarian chili with 2 oz. 2% Velveeta and heat it up in the microwave. Pour this over whole wheat pasta and mix it up- it’s so delicious! This was 13 points.

For dessert, I had a serving of FF/SF Chocolate pudding with a little light whipped topping for 2 points.

That leaves me with 2 points for the day. I am thinking something very light and sweet sounds good. Not sure what yet. For once I am not ending the day hungry!

I am so happy that tomorrow is Friday! Hubby is coming home! Hopefully he will be home a little earlier too, last night he has already clocked 45 hours and it was only Wednesday! I don’t know how he does it- he’s so motivated and driven. I’m proud of him, but I miss him so much! We have some fantastic weekend plans which involves getting to see most of my family and a girl’s night out at a ballet!! Can’t wait!
