I thought for sure I would have a big loss today. I could just feel it. I felt smaller. But I stepped on the scale and lost .6, I was a little disappointed because I felt like I really put in the effort this week. Hubby called to see how the WI went and I disappointedly told him I lost .6 and he said, “Well, what’s wrong with that?” Which was just what I needed to hear. Nothing is wrong with a loss!! Thanks!
For breakfast, I had an egg sandwich with a bagel thin, egg whites, cheese and ham along with a banana and a glass of milk for 10 points.
Before signing in to work, I brewed some new coffee I picked up yesterday. It was on sale and I had a coupon:
I added some half and half for 1 point.
It was ok- not the best I’ve ever had. Anyone have any recommendations for great coffee you can buy in stores? I love Gevalia, but I’m thinking of canceling my membership because of the costs- after that $26 box of coffee- I’m a little disenchanted.
For my first break, I tried an Aldi’s brand of protein bar- Double chocolate. This was DELISH! LOVED the flavor- but I think maybe it’s a little high in carbs at 25g and 10g protein- 5 points per bar. What protein bars do you like? I don’t want them as meal replacements- just a way to get in more protein. So preferably not through the roof in calories.
For lunch, I had a BBQ chicken salad with tomato, feta, flax seeds, and black beans for 7 points.
For a sweet ending, I had strawberry Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup of strawberries for 3 points.
I was craving chocolate later- so I had a small Reese’s egg for 2 points.
On my last break, I was super hungry- so I had 1/2 cup of grapes for 0 points.
And a Fit & Active string cheese for 1 point.
Once work was finally over- I called hubby and he was almost home!! So nice to have him home early this week!
So I got to making a quick supper. I was hungry ALL day. I don’t know why? But I made chili dogs with all of the low calorie ingredients. I had 2 of these for 8 points.
I also had some chips and guacamole made with Tostito’s Dip Creations Guacamole mix that I got for free through Food Buzz. This was 7 points.
Hubby and I were both impressed with it! We both liked the flavor. We have been looking for a good guacamole mix- and I think we’ve found it. I really like that it’s all natural and the ingredient list is short. Be sure to check it out!
And for dessert, I had a Blue Bunny mint grasshopper ice cream sandwich for 4 points. These are the same Points value as Skinny Cow’s- which I find interesting…
And after that I had a tummy ache. 
But that’s what they’re there for. And I’m not going to beat myself up or feel guilty about it.
My percentages were a little weird today because I didn’t really push the high protein thing so much- 49.46% Carbs, 24.28% Fats, and 26.26% Protein.
Hope you’ve had a great Wednesday!
