A Sinful Saturday

I never finished adding my food choices and points in yesterdays points so I'll just recap here. I was well within my range I think I ended the day having used 24 points.

Now for today, today I have been BAD, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. I'm still within my points range at this point but I've wasted so many of them.

It's not my fault, it's the peppermint patties - I think that they've hypnotized me somehow, lol. So I've had my husband take them and hide them somewhere ( he's good at hiding things where I can't find them so I should be safe here)

Here's what my day has been like so far:

1/2 sandwich made with fat free deli meat and healthy bread: 2 points
Dill pickle: 0 points
Glass of orange juice: 3 points
peppermint patties 10 points (uggh)
Total: 15 points

Supper will be:
Oven baked salmon: 4 points
oven baked fries : 5 points
all veggie salad with no dressing: 0 points

So that would bring me to 25 points. I plan on having some air popped popcorn and a diet pop for a snack tonight if I get hungry so I may have to use just a couple of flex points.

Thank goodness for flex points.

USA, great news about the workout plans!! I have to start but need to get over this awful, funky chest cold first.

The weekend's here.. the big challenge

The weekends have always been a challenge in terms of journaling for me. Today has already been a nightmare in terms of eating, but here goes nothing.

Breakfast: 1/2 bagel and PB: 4 points
Bottle of water
Total: 4 points

Lunch:
Chicken Cobb Salad: 15 points
gin and tonic: 3 points
Total: 22 points

Snack:
I have got to get rid of the chocolate in my house! I had two pieces of stout truffles: 2 points
Total: 24 points.

I now have 4 points left for dinner. But I'm still kind of full from lunch, so I'll just have popcorn at the movies. And there are always those 29 flex points. I better have a glass of water.

A friend of mine asked her to join an exercise class on Tuesday with her. So with that and my hockey on Mondays, there are two days of working out down! If I can get two more days in the gym, I'll be good to go!

Oh CANADA?? How are you doing this weekend???

Update: Had movie popcorn for dinner: 4 points
Total: 28

Then I used 10 flex points to indulge. So that means I have 18 left until Wed. I can do it.

Day three in the USA

I still have all my flex points and tact but no activity points to speak of. Sigh... anyway, here's today so far:

Breakfast:
English muffin with jelly: 4 points
coffee with skim: 1 point
glass of water
Total: 5 points

Snack:
100-calorie oreos: 2 points
Total: 7 points

Lunch:
4 pieces of sushi: 2 points
1/2 cup of white rice and veggies: 3 points
3 small boiled dumplings: 2 points
Mushroom soup: 1 point
salad: zero points
Total: 15 points

Snack:
I avoided the cinnamon dolche latter and got a berry blossom white tea, no milk, two splendas: zero points (and it's decaf so it's part of my water!)

I now have 13 points left.... not bad

Dinner:
Cup of chowder: 5 points
Pulled Pork Sandwich and greenbeans: 8 points
Total: 28 points

I had all of my flex points so I had two gin and tonics for 3 points each. Total flex points left: 29

Peppermint patties are not your friend!

First off I want to say hope the weigh in went well Lisa!! And two miles on the eliptical, wow am I impressed.

USA, way to go with the water, you're making me look bad girl, lol. I'm proud of you, I know water isn't your thing either. Just wait till you get the tea you can use that towards your water intake too!

I finished off yesterday having used 4 of my flex points - york peppermint patties were my downfall, sigh. I had six of them, why oh why could I have not stopped at one, lol? But I did get in some exercise last night, my hubby and I walked to the grocery store, I needed to go anyway and it was a nice night so he and the dogs came along. Poor Oscar was so upset when he realized he had to wait OUTSIDE with Daddy, he really thought he should be allowed in too. So I'm thinking I probably earned at least one activity point, but I didn't count it if I did, LOL.

So far today, I've only had a smoothie which is four points. Will update on the rest of my day tonight!

Day 3 for Me

I know I've said this before, but I'm saying it again. I HATE water, I never drink it..ever. So today, I have not yet had a glass of it. I'm such a failure, LOL. I have had Diet Pepsi - see I'm making sacrifices lol it's not regular pepsi which I would much rather have. I know that people say add a lemon to it, add orange to it, drink it ice cold, drink it warm, it's still water to me. That being said, yesterday I had two bottles of water with Crystal Light packets in them. That's as close as I'm getting to water this week. Next week I'll try drinking the bottled water WITHOUT the Crystal Light.

My day has been shaping up well as far as eating goes, here's the breakdown so far

Breakfast:
Smoothie - 4 points

Lunch:
Sandwich - 3 points
pringles snack pack - 2 points
pineapple - 1 point
dill pickles - 0 point

Total points used so far today - 10

And tonight I'm going to either go out for a walk or walk on the treadmill.

- Canada

I survived Day One and Day 2 so far so good

You're doing great USA. Way to go with the water.....water BLECH!!

Well my exercise last night consisted of computer surfing does that count? somehow I didn't think so. But I stayed within my points so no worries.

Today so far I've had:
a fat free chocolate pudding cup - 2 points
mandarin oranges -2 points
Bottled water with a nestea single in it - 0 points
Total: 4 points.

It's lunch out with Marsha day and I'm planning on having a salad of some sort and I'll likely have a sandwich made with fat free deli meat for dinner, will update with points for lunch and supper later.

- Canada

Okay, so lunch was a grilled chicken breast, salad, a couple of fried potato pieces - kinda like potato skins without all the "stuff'. So I figure 10 points should do it

And for dinner:
chicken noodle soup 4 points
sandwich: 3 points
dill pickles and carrots free

Snacks during the day
apple 1 point
licorice 4 points
26 points and that's what I'm allowed.

Lol, guess no snacking for me tonight
