I hope that those of you in the U.S. had a great Labor Day weekend! My time off was just what I needed. Hubby and I attended a church convention and it was wonderful. I am refocused and feel much more relaxed and my stress is eased for the time being!
The only problem is that my weight is WAY up. I mean like 8 lbs. up from my lowest weight. It is amazing how fast I gain weight. I was not able to be in control of what was being served and I tried to do my best, but obviously I didn’t do very well. That added to the fact that last weekend I ate terribly and gained weight which never came back off. So I’m hoping things will be back to normal now and I can get this weight off. Tomorrow is weigh in day, so I’d be thrilled if I at least got off some of the added weight to weigh in the same, but I’m expecting a gain. It is amazing how fast I can gain weight. Hubby was absolutely amazed that I could gain weight that fast and he saw everything that I ate!
For breakfast, I ate Cheerios with a sliced banana and milk for 4 points.
I did laundry, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, and got other daily tasks taken care of and then it was time for homework. I spent most of yesterday doing homework…but hubby and I did go for a nice 2 mile walk! The weather has suddenly turned to fall weather and it’s beautiful.
I sipped on coffee while doing homework. 1 point. I do not fill this cup all of the way, BTW!
And a couple of hours later I felt a little hungry, so I snacked on some grapes for 0 points.
I finished my homework with a few minutes to spare. I had hoped to finish a little earlier and get a workout in—but I also thought it would be fun to work out with hubby later. So it was all good. And since school days are a little untraditional for me eating wise, I ate a piece of toast with an egg on top for 3 points.
On my way to class, I ate a chicken wrap with Laughing Cow Cheese for 5 points.
I stopped at the gas station and picked up a bottle of Tropicana 50 Pomegranate Blueberry juice for 2 points.
I sipped on that during class. It was refreshing and delicious!
My classes went well today. I was especially excited about an iPad lab class in my electronic literature class. It was fun playing around with the iPad, I had never used one before. I am seriously considering either buying an iPad, Kindle or Nook. Any recommendations?
I was hungry by the time I got out of class, but I was prepared. I ate a Fiber One 90 Calorie Chew bar for 2 points.
An apple for 0 points.
And a light cheese stick for 1 point.
By the time I got home, I was still hungry but very, very tired as usual! I made an iced latte for 1 point to try to perk myself up so I could do some homework before hubby got home.
For supper, I had a salmon burger, zucchini, tomatoes, FF cottage cheese, and light bread with homemade strawberry jam for 6 points.
That’s a lot of food for only 6 points! What a bargain. I love those salmon burgers from Aldi’s—only 2 points!
And since I had a ton of points left, I was able to have a serving of vanilla ice cream topped with a tsp. of peanut butter and chocolate syrup for 6 points.
And I still have 3 points left for the day.
Hubby and I are planning on going for a walk this evening after supper settles. I have lots of homework to work on—so I’m going to sign out now! It feels good to be back to regular blogging!
