A Good Weigh in Day

I woke up feeling very tired and sore this morning. I think that’s my body telling me it needs a rest. So a rest day it is!

I love when I step on the scale and see a loss. I lost 2.3 lbs. this week! (Actually more because I gained over the weekend.) That puts me at 76.4 lbs. lost, I’m slowly getting back to my lowest with 10.3 lbs. left to go to get there. I’m doing so much better now that Hubby and I are doing this together. And I am currently winning our little contest. Winking smile

For breakfast this morning, I ate an egg sandwich on a sandwich thin (egg, FF cheese, and FF turkey) along with a glass of milk and a banana for 9 points.

I will let your imagination decide what the sandwich looks like because the bread cracked right down the middle!

I love to see all of those green little triangles by my foods meaning they’re filling foods.

After following Simply Filling Tracking for a while, I often find myself choosing different foods—the more filling ones! Which is a good thing.

Today it was back to work. I really enjoyed my day off yesterday though!

While working, I sipped on coffee with FF creamer for 1 point.

On my first break, I ate a pear for 0 points.

I was really hungry by lunch time. I think the 1 hour 20 minutes of exercise yesterday may have made me more hungry today. Plus I felt very headachy.

For lunch, I ate an egg salad sandwich with lettuce and a side of baby carrots and FF chicken broth for 6 points.

Did you know you can have a whole can of FF chicken broth for 0 points? Good to know! The FF beef broth is 1 point for the can.

I was hungry on my last break and knew I couldn’t make it 4 hours to supper, so I made a wrap with a high fiber tortilla, FF cheese and FF turkey for 4 points. Here are the innards.

Hubby and I are going to visit his parent’s for supper. His Dad made it home on Monday. I whipped up a meal on my break that we are taking over for supper.

If it’s a good one, I’ll share. I’m calling it Basked Thanksgiving Chicken. I hope it’s good!! 9 points per serving. I’m also bringing green beans. I will have 4 points left after supper.

Hope your week is going well!
