Flowers and Carbs

It’s FINALLY FRIDAY!! Even though this was only a 4 day week, it seemed to drag on and on.

For breakfast this morning I had oatmeal with strawberries and a glass of milk for 7 points.

I got up with hubby this morning, and since I declared today a rest day to rest up for the 5K race tomorrow, I got to spend some time reading blogs. I am so far behind but it’s so motivating to catch up with all of you!

I didn’t have any coffee in the fridge, so I had to make a pot of hot coffee today. 1 point.

On my first break, I was feeling kind of sick and thought it was because I was hungry, so I ate a PB/banana sandwich for 5 points.

I have a long period of time between breakfast and lunch since I have to get up so early in the morning—so eating something a little bigger snack on those days that I get up earlier isn’t a bad thing. I’m truly hungry. That made me feel a little better and I drank more water and felt 100% again. Not sure what that was about. Maybe from the coffee?

For lunch, I had a wrap that I made up of deli meat, cheese, tomatoes and a tiny bit of Italian dressing for 3 points.

WOW- this was AMAZING!

I also had a side of baked BBQ chips for 3 points. Sometimes I crave chips and a sandwich/wrap type meal.

And then I had FF/SF chocolate pudding for 2 points.

I have got to keep this out of the house:

I have a hard time staying out of it. It’s just too easy to grab a spoon and eat some. 5 points. I’m not going to buy it anymore. Period.

When work was finally over, I headed outside to water my flowers. They’re getting so pretty! I know this one is a Columbine:

Daisies are one of my favorite flowers, but Hubby doesn’t like them at all and always wants me to get rid of them. I dug out a few plants—but not many. I love the pretty white flowers!

I don’t know what this one is? But a very nice lady gave us a bunch of perennials last year and they really helped fill things in! These are gorgeous!

A new one I planted this year:

Remember when we just planted the garden? Everything is coming up very nicely! Everything just shot up these past couple of days.

For supper, I had grilled chicken, roasted veggies and potato salad for 9 points.

Today was HOT—in the 90’s, so I was craving some ice cream for dessert. I had Monkeying Around banana ice cream for 5 points.

It hit the spot!

I’ve used 7 weekly points for the day. Looking back at my pictures, I was really craving carbs today for some reason! Can working out make you crave carbs?

Any plans for the weekend? Hubby and I are going to run a 5K and hopefully spend some time at the pool if it doesn’t rain! There’s a 40% chance of Thunderstorms tomorrow—so I hope they hold off at least until the 5K is over! Can’t wait!
