A Cookie Dough Encounter

I wanted to eat a lower point breakfast this morning in preparation for a planned meal out in the evening so I had 1 cup of Cheerios with 1/2 cup each of blueberries and 1% milk for 4 points.

Do you like my OBol? I won a giveaway for this thing. “Never Eat Soggy Cereal Again.”

After hubby left for work, I did a Pilates 10 minute stretch and a dance workout for 10 minutes. I really enjoyed my workout this morning. The Pilates wasn’t cardio, but the dancing was and I broke a sweat. I burned 87 calories- not much, but it’s something and I had fun. My HR monitor stopped counting a few times, so I’m not sure that’s accurate either. I love how Pilates makes me feel. It really releases muscle soreness. I also love the 10 minute solution workouts so I can mix up my workouts. I’ve been trying different ones on Netflix.

Before signing in to work, I ate a banana for 0 points.

For my first break, I made a green smoothie (2 oranges, 1 cup spinach) and snacked on some cocoa roasted almonds for 4 points.

For lunch, I had a salad made of lettuce, tomato, 2% sharp cheddar, turkey bacon, ham and light ranch for 5 points.

All it was missing was a boiled egg!

I also had a slice of light wheat toast with whipped chive cream cheese for 2 points.

For dessert, I had a No Pudge! brownie for 3 points.

And I had a spoonful of cookie dough out of the fridge…yeh not good! 2 points. I made cookies last night and told myself that if I could handle them in the house without eating them all- I don’t need to feel guilty. I sent all of the baked cookies to work w/ hubby- but I should have frozen the cookie dough! Cookies are one of my danger foods but I want to get a handle on it, because cookies will be around for the rest of my life and well- I like them, so I need to learn to eat them in moderation.

Right when I was about ready to take my last break, I was asked if I wanted to sign out for the day. Absolutely! I’ll take my weekend anytime!

I was really hungry after a while, but didn’t want to use any more points so I had a bowl of fruit. A banana, strawberries and blueberries. Delish and pretty!

I am going to sign out early today because Hubby and I are going out for supper tonight to celebrate Valentine’s Day. We are going out for Chinese food and then to a movie. I’m looking forward to it! I still have 14 points left for the day and the majority of my weekly points. We are planning on splitting a meal.

Have a great weekend!
