Weigh In Day: Getting Closer

This morning I weighed in at 210.6, a new low for me! I lost 1.6 lbs. this week for a total of 77.4 lbs.  I’m very happy with that number and I am getting so close to my next 10 lb. goal!

For breakfast, I had a bagel thin topped with whipped honey nut cream cheese, egg beaters, a banana and a cup of 1% milk for 8 points.

After hubby left, I did a Pilates workout for 20 minutes. My hips, knees and legs were so sore from running yesterday. I burned 85 calories, I have to remember that this isn’t a cardio workout, but it felt good to stretch my sore muscles.

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

For lunch, I had a baked potato topped with steamed broccoli and 2% Sharp Cheddar cheese for 6 points. This is so filling!

And for a sweet ending, I had FF/SF chocolate pudding for 2 points.

I got a fun package in the mail today from my sister! More Duchess Grey tea! Yay! I will be set now for my afternoon tea! Thanks!!

On my last break, I had to have a cup of that for 0 points.

I also had a Blueberry Fiber One yogurt with 1/2 cup of blueberries for 1 point.

I can’t believe that yogurt is only 1 point- it’s absolutely delicious and creamy! I highly recommend it!

And I had a light cheese stick for 1 point.

I ended up getting off of work about 1 1/2 hours early- which was nice because I had some reading to get done!

I was amazed at how much the Pilates helped with my sore legs and knees this morning. My hips are a huge problem area for me and I often wonder if I have something wrong with them, so they were still hurting. But since I was feeling much better otherwise, I decided that I would jump on the bike while I read. I biked for 30 minutes and burned 106 calories for workout #2!

For supper, I had a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich and roasted veggies with olive oil for 6 points.

I had forgotten how good roasted veggies were. This was the first time roasting carrots and mushrooms and they were SOOO good! I also had onions and zucchini in the mix, which are ALWAYS good.

For dessert, I had a serving of crust less cheesecake. I made my No Bake Cheesecake this weekend and realized that the majority of the points were in the crust. So I tried it without the crust. It doesn’t set enough to serve it as a slice, but it still tasted good! I topped it with fresh strawberries for 4 points.

That leaves me with 2 points left for the evening! I feel like today was a good day. I’m trying to be more conscious about what I’m eating and am really working at getting those veggies in. I think I’m doing ok so far!
