Pictures Again and School’s Out!

Since I finished my very last paper last night, I decided to sleep in this morning. And it felt AMAZING. It was just what I needed to rejuvenate.

For breakfast, I tried something a little different. I had 1/2 cup of light vanilla yogurt, 1/2 cup Fiber One, 1/2 cup Raspberries, 1/2 cup blackberries, and a small banana all mixed up for a total of 4 points.

I drank water with this. I always make sure to get in 8 cups of pure water a day. Today I got 12 cups of water in throughout the day. This is in addition to my milk and my coffee that I drink, so I do get in a lot of fluids!

I had to go to school to drop off my paper for my very last final. We got about 3-4” of snow last night, so it wasn’t a fun drive, but not too bad. I was so happy to have that over with! I also got to get rid of these:

For only $18.25…what can ya do?

The campus is always really pretty in the winter. Not the best picture, but it shows the snow:

And then I headed straight home! For lunch, I made up a big salad of lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, green onions and a little parmesan/asiago grated cheese topped with light Italian dressing for a total of 3 points.

I also had whole wheat pasta and a little spaghetti sauce for 4 points.

For dessert, I was craving raspberries and banana drizzled in chocolate, so that’s what I had- 1 point.

I have a food scale and I measure out everything I eat. My points values are accurate to the best of my knowledge. I do not try to “fudge” my points to get by with less, just so ya know!

A while later, I sipped on some Silk Nog for 5 points. I really like this stuff, but hubby doesn’t. It’s 1/2 the calories of regular egg nog, so I’m sold!

I was feeling sick to my stomach before work, so while I was craving coffee, it just didn’t sound good to my stomach. So I made Duchess Tea for 0 points.

Work went really quickly this afternoon and we were slow enough that I was able to get all of my Holiday cards addressed and ready to go!

I was bound and determined I wasn’t going to work out tonight. I’ll workout starting on Saturday, I thought. But School just ended, I should just relax, I reasoned. I’ve gone this long without working out this week, I should just take the week off, I tried to logically explain to myself. But all in all, I called hubby and because of my guilty conscience, I told him, “I really should workout tonight but I just don’t wanna!” And he said, “Do it, you can do it!” So I stomped my way to the bathroom, changed into my workout gear and complained my way to the treadmill. And then the clouds opened up and the Halleluiah chorus rang. It all changed. My breathing became in sync with my footsteps. The sweat started pouring off of my head and I felt so alive. I felt successful and determined. I felt I could do anything. So while my intentions were that I had to run 1 mile, I ended up running 2, and I am so happy with that.

For supper, I had the ultimate comfort food. This is so delicious. I realize that it’s a highly processed meal, but I don’t eat this all the time and I enjoy this meal, so I won’t stop eating it. So there. I had pigs in a blanket made with FF hot dogs, reduced fat crescent rolls and FF American cheese for a total of 10 points for 2 of them. I also had green beans and Orange Crystal Light.

For dessert, I had a HG Jelly Filled Cupcake for 3 points.

I have 4 points leftover- that hasn’t happened in a really long time!! I will be eating them tonight. I’m not sure what I’ll eat, but I will have a snack as we watch the BL Finale! I have gone this far and I don’t know who won- so for once I can watch the finale in anticipation!!

I’m really looking forward to my Christmas Break from school and so happy that tomorrow is Friday!!

Question: Do you like the picture posts? Are you indifferent to them? Hate them? (specifically my food pictures)
