The Day the Blender Died

Happy Friday!!

This morning for breakfast, I wanted something quick so I had cheerios with 1/2 cup of blueberries and 1/2 cup of 1% milk for 4 points.

We used to eat cereal every morning, which meant we were buying 2-3 boxes a week. These days we rarely buy cereal. Hubby still eats it quite often- but I rarely eat it for breakfast anymore- and once in a while I eat plain Cheerios as a snack. It’s just not as filling as other options. But I do love a good bowl of cereal here and there!

For my first break, I attempted to make my green smoothie (1 cup spinach, 2 oranges). My blender has been getting really hot lately and smelled of burning rubber. Well today, it gave out right when I was almost done making my smoothie- I put the ice in last, so I had chunks of ice instead of a nice consistency. I think this is something that can be fixed- but no more smoothies for a while! Sad smile 1 Point for this one. You can see in the picture all of the black pieces of rubber everywhere!

I also had a PB and Bananas on light wheat toast for 4 points.

For lunch, I tried to use up some leftovers. I had leftover chicken noodle soup with a grilled tuna sandwich using leftover tuna for 8 points. That tuna sandwich was AMAZING. I forgot how good those are! And of course I dipped it in ketchup. Winking smile

For dessert, I had a light Banana Cream pie yogurt for 2 points.

It’s always fun to get packages in the mail- Look what I got in the mail today from Lori!

My favorite tea!! Thank you So much! That was really sweet of you! Smile

And if you haven’t checked out Lori’s blog- I highly recommend it. She is one of my healthy living idols! She is an amazing woman and is becoming quite the superstar! Smile

I had to have a cup of that- SOOOO good!

Today was a long day and I wasn’t in the mood for cooking. So I ordered Pizza Hut online and hubby picked it up. I figured my points before ordering.

While waiting for hubby to get home I just stayed out of the kitchen. I was SOOOO hungry and feeling a bit emotional after a hard day at work! I spent some time trying to get caught up on blogs. It’s been a busy, busy week so I’m sorry if I haven’t been around commenting as much. Sad smile

I had 2 slices of ham and pineapple on thin and crispy (only 1 pictured) along with 1 breadstick for 9 points. I LOVE their breadsticks and I wanted another one but I told myself if I ate my 2nd piece of pizza and still wanted it- I could have it. Well guess what? I was full! I have to say I was impressed with their thin and crispy pizza. It wasn’t oily at all and really not that high in points for pizza!

I also had green beans, which I forgot to picture!

For dessert, I had SF Chocolate pudding for 2 points.

That puts me at my points target for the day! Hubby and I plan on cuddling up and watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Exercise has been nonexistent since Saturday. I do not exercise when I am sick (I believe in letting the body rest)- so that accounts through Wednesday. I can make excuses for yesterday and today and say I have been so busy this week and I am exhausted- which I am. But they’re just excuses and there’s no end to excuses. It’s about planning ahead and scheduling workouts in. But I do plan on getting back on track with exercise this weekend! Just wanted to update you all on that in case you were wondering why there haven’t been any workouts… I’m ready to get exercise back into my routine!

Have a fabulous weekend!!
