Full of Veggies

How are you all coping with the time change? That one hour does make a difference, doesn’t it? At least it’s brighter outside a lot later though.

Hubby had to get up at 4 A.M. this morning (which,of course,still felt like 3 A.M.) and I got up with him because he had to leave for the week again. Always hard to say goodbye- but hopefully this will be the last week and we do have good plans for this weekend and the coming week, so that made it a little easier.

I went back to bed after he left and got a little bit more sleep. It’s hard to wake up in the morning when it’s still dark out!

For breakfast, I had 1 slice of PB and Banana toast with a  glass of 1% milk for 5 points.

I wasn’t very hungry this morning since we had a delicious pasta dinner last night. I hate how pasta dinners make me gain weight the next day- without fail! But I know it will probably be off tomorrow.

And then it was time to work. It’s always hard to get started again on Monday.

For my first break, I had 1/2 cup each of broccoli and baby carrots dipped in light ranch for 1 point.

I also whipped up a green smoothie (2 oranges, 1 cup spinach) for 1 point.

I also brought back a serving of Rold Gold Honey Pretzel Twists for 3 points.

For lunch, I had a sandwich made of light bread, a little mayo, avocado, tomato and deli ham for 7 points.

I also had a side of baked BBQ chips for 3 points.

And I drank cold green tea for 0 points.

For dessert, I had a No Pudge! brownie for 3 points. I have been loving these lately for some reason.

On my last break, I had Breakfast Blend coffee with 1 Tbs. FF Vanilla creamer for 0 points.

I got off of work about 20 minutes early- which is always fantastic! I headed outside right away for a run. It was a beautiful 50 degrees outside and SUNNY! I walked for a warm up, then ran 1 mile in 13:20, walked .5 mile, ran 1 more mile at 13:17, and then walked home. total distance was 3.27 miles in 50 minutes. 446 calories burned.

For supper, I had a taco salad with: lettuce, tomato, avocado, onion, taco meat, tortilla chips and I added a little bit of light sour cream, salsa and cheese for a total of 8 points.

I also had a small side of acorn squash for 0 points.

For dessert, I had angel food cake with strawberries for 4 points.

DELISH!

I went over my points by 1 point- not too bad!

I got in A LOT of veggies today- go me! I struggle with making myself eat veggies. That’s why I drink the green smoothie. Making delicious salad really helps though.

Hope you all had a wonderful Monday!!
