This morning I weighed in at 215.6, a .8 gain from last week. Like I said yesterday, I’m not letting that get me down- I’m just moving forward. December was not a good month for me- I gained 2.2 lbs- I’m supposed to be LOSING weight! But gaining weight over the month NEVER happens- so I’m not going to worry about it. With a rocky start on the new WW plan and a weekend of bad eating- it’s understandable. I just need to keep FOCUSED and I will lose weight this month.
For breakfast this morning, I had 2 slices of light whole wheat toast topped with peanut butter and a sliced banana along with 1 cup of 1% milk for 8 points.
Wednesdays are my rest days, but I decided I would try to fit in a little activity. I got on the bike when I could and totaled 30 minutes, it wasn’t all at once so the calorie burn wasn’t as high, but I did burn 111 calories and that’s better than nothing! 
For my first break, I had Clementine Greek yogurt- I LOVE THIS STUFF! along with 1 clementine mixed in for 5 points.
I was feeling hungry this morning, so I brought back a 100 calorie bag of Kettle Corn Smart pop to munch on for 3 points.
I had kind of a weird lunch today. I started off craving oatmeal with cinnamon, but I knew I needed to get my veggies in. So I made 1/2 cup oatmeal with cinnamon and a little Splenda mixed in, 1/2 cup of egg beaters with a light Swiss Laughing Cow wedge mixed in, and a green smoothie. The green smoothie was made up of 1/3 cup FF vanilla yogurt, 1 cup of ice, 1 banana, 1 orange and 1 cup of fresh spinach. YUMMM! I forgot how good these are. If you add enough fruit, you can’t even taste the spinach but yet you get all of those benefits of it! Sweet!
Call me crazy, but I was still kind of hungry! So I had a small Mission carb balance tortilla with a light Laughing cow blue cheese wedge spread on it along with 1 oz. deli chicken for 3 points. And then I felt just perfect.
On my first break, I was craving something sweet- so I had 2 hugs and 2 kisses for 3 points. I realized I was tracking these wrong because if I put them in the WW tracker as 2 of each it comes out to 2 points.
Ok, and then I had a couple bites of Lori’s granola and 5 whoppers (the candy- not the burgers) for 2 points. That was some mindless eating- and I didn’t get a picture of it- so obviously it was mindless and uncalled for- but I had a mad sugar craving for some reason! I guess it happens to all of us from time to time- at least I didn’t just keep going! I have found that when I am tired I crave sugar- so I bet that’s what it was. I should have just brewed a cup of coffee instead.
I brought back a cup of Vanilla Chai tea to sip on throughout the afternoon for 0 points.
I don’t drink this flavor that often but it was really good!
For supper, I had a small side salad made of lettuce, tomato, avocado, a little FF sour cream and salsa for 2 points.
I also had 2 slices of leftover Shrimp and Feta pizza for 9 points.
For dessert, I had 1/2 cup of vanilla pudding for 4 points.
That puts me at using 10 weekly points today- woah! I guess I was hungry today. I can always see areas that I could improve- but I’m not so rigid with my points right after weigh in and I usually do use some weekly points on Wednesdays, that’s what they’re there for!
