I don’t know about you- but my weekend went WAY too fast!
I wasn’t feeling very hungry for breakfast this morning, so I had 1 cup of cheerios with 1/2 cup of blueberries and 1/2 cup of 1% milk for 4 points.
I had a little bit of time this morning to read some blogs- I am so far behind and can’t seem to catch up!
Today was another one of those snowy mornings where I was glad to be able to work from home!
For my first break, I was craving ants on a log- actually, I was probably just craving peanut butter. 
I brought back a Naked Mighty Mango 100% juice smoothie with me and drank 1/2 the bottle for 4 points. Hubby is working on a gas station remodel right now- and these are always on sale so he brings them home to me sometimes!
This weekend hubby and attended a funeral for hubby’s uncle. We drove right past Des Moines- so we stopped on our way home to go to Trader Joe’s while we were in the area. We don’t get out there very often because it’s a couple of hours away for us. I love browsing that store.
For lunch, I made a BBQ chicken salad and it was DELISH! I found some butter lettuce at TJ’s- MY FAVE lettuce that I haven’t been able to find in the store lately. I put some chicken in the crock pot this morning and had BBQ chicken ready for lunch time. I also added Feta cheese, and roasted flax seeds (from TJ’s) and avocado. SO GOOD! 9 points of deliciousness.
I’ve heard that flax seeds are very good for you- high in Omega-3’s, good for your joints, and digestive system. These taste good, too!
I also ate 1/2 serving of TJ’s version of BBQ pop chips- love these things- 2 points.
And for dessert, I had a Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate with Raspberry square for 2 points. I really liked this- I wasn’t sure if I would or not- but it’s really good!
I definitely should have figured the points for my lunch before I ate it and worked on the amounts of the toppings I added because this left me with 9 points left for the day! I probably should have used about 1/2 the serving sizes of the toppings- oh well! (or maybe eliminated my chips and chocolate).
On my last break I ate 2 Cuties clementines for 0 points.
And I also made a cup of TJ’s Duchess Grey tea for 0 points.
After supper, I headed outside for my workout. I planned to shovel snow today. Yes, we do have a snow blower and I chose to shovel by hand- but shoveling snow is sometimes more fun than running on the treadmill.
For supper, I had a very small baked pork chop topped with mustard, rice, and carrots for 5 points.
For dessert, I had a Skinny Cow- Strawberry Shortcake for 4 points.
That puts me at exactly my points for the day. I’ve had a lot of water to drink today. We went out to eat this weekend for Mexican and I counted my points and ate wisely, but something about that food just makes my body feel gross. It feels good to clean out my body and give it foods that make my body feel good again!
