It’s FINALLY FRIDAY!! I can’t really, honestly say FINALLY because this week has FLOWN by- but I was still glad the best day of the work week arrived!
I had a bigger breakfast this morning which included a Cinnamon Raisin English muffin (with a little Brummel and Brown Yogurt Spread), 1/2 cup egg beaters, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup blackberries and 1 cup of 1% milk for 9 points.
It was DELISH and really filling. A great way to start my day!
Sometimes I don’t understand the WW points system. The Brummel & Brown yogurt spread has 5 gm fat, and 0 Carbs, Protein and Fiber in 1 Tbs. How is that 1 point? And even if you use a 1/2 serving- it still says 1 point. That doesn’t make sense to me. I counted that point- but I think that’s over doing it a little bit. I still wish the new WW tracker would let me track .5 points, but it doesn’t.
On my first break, I had a green smoothie. This time it was made of 2 oranges and 1 cup spinach. I had to use the Greek yogurt again- 2 points. Still yummy!
I also had 12 almonds for 2 points.
Right before lunchtime, I was asked if I wanted the rest of the day off- Yahoo!! I was pretty happy about that, and Hubby told me to enjoy my time off- so all was well!
For lunch, I toasted 2 slices of light wheat bread and made a sandwich of chicken breast, avocado, tomato and Swiss cheese for 7 points.
I decided to tackle the big project of finally going through my closet and boxing up the clothes that no longer fit. We are going to have a garage sale this spring- so starting to sift through my packed closets is a good idea. And it took a long time! I had to try on most of it because I haven’t worn many of the clothes for a long time. I found a lot of clothes that I’ve been thinking were too tight- so I have new clothes to wear! 
I took a break while getting that together and ate an apple with 1 Tbs. PB for 3 points. I think I would eat just about anything if it was dipped in peanut butter.
I was so hungry later on in the afternoon, I decided to eat a light cheese stick for 2 points. It’s always good to get your dairy in, ladies! You want strong bones.
Hubby and I headed to Panera Bread for supper and I had my usual You Pick 2- Broccoli Cheddar Soup, Asian Sesame Chicken salad and whole grain baguette for 13 points.
Hubby had a MyPanera reward for a free Sweet/Pastry. We were planning on splitting his pick for dessert. I took a tiny bite of my half and decided it just wasn’t worth the calories- if I’m going to use weekly points and indulge in something it’s going to be TASTY! So I didn’t eat my half. I’ll call that NSV. Making a choice not to just shove something in your mouth just because it’s there is a big step!
After that we ran a few errands. I got a new Biggest Loser workout DVD that I can’t wait to try tomorrow!
We stopped at Culver’s for dessert. I planned on using some weekly points tonight, so I had a 1 scoop vanilla sundae with hot fudge and bananas for 10 points. I feel like this is worth 10 weekly points- it was delicious!
I ended up using 14 weekly points tonight and I still have 20 left- so I’m doing well!
Do you have any plans for the weekend? Hubby and I are going to take it easy. I want to get some cleaning done and another workout or two in. I will start to get my things ready for school next week. Stay tuned for a recipe this weekend! Have a great weekend!
