My Wednesday's Menu
Okie Dokie Ladies... you asked for it :) Here's what I ate yesterday... please don't judge me! ;)
(remember, I have 10 extra points for nursing.)
Daily Point target: 32
Breakfast
Fiber One yogurt = 0 pts
Nature Valley Granola Thins = 2 pts
Snack
1/2 mini bagel =1 pt
1 T 1/3 fat cream cheese = 1 pt
Lunch
PB & Honey sandwich (6pts)
2 slices Wonder 100% Soft Whole Wheat Bread = 2 pts
1 T + a titch peanut butter = 3 pts
< 1 T honey = 1 pt
5 raw carrots = 0
Snack
PB & Honey sandwich.... again... (6pts)
Snack
3 of these yummy things... I have little control... 3pts
Dinner
1/2 c white rice = 2pts
1 c chicken stir fry (chicken, red peppers, onion, a bit of BBQ sauce) 2 pts
1/4 fresh pear = < 1/2 point
So far my total for the day is 24 points. Since I have orchestra and a bunch of points left over (weird...), I have a yummy chocolaty treat for 6pts on the way home.
Wednesdays Point total = 30
Yesterday was kind of a weird day for me though... not sure how I ate so much chocolate and was still OK on my points. :)
At dinner, I first put one serving of rice on my plate (1 cup) then the stir fry. I took a picture. Then I removed half the rice. It was WAY too much!!! The lesson? Don't force yourself to eat everything on your plate! Eat slowly and stop when you are satisfied. If you were here yesterday, remember to "eat painstakingly slow!"
Please leave a comment and tell us all how you did yesterday!

Welcome Hot Ladies!
Changing our weights... changing our habits... changing how we feel about ourselves... can seem like a pretty big mountain to climb. But of course, if we break it down to one step at a time and keep going, we'll make it to the top of that thing. It's also easier to climb when we have company. The only time you'll be alone on this journey is when you close your eyes to the support offered you. We're all doing this together.
One thing on my To Do list for this week is to make a motivation list. Click here to read a fabulous article about such a list. I challenge you all to do this with me. :)
It's all about feeling good about ourselves and being healthy. Loving the way we look and the way we live. Loving who we are and knowing that we have a lot to give our families and this world. Getting my brain and heart to accept that and live it... that's harder to do than to say. But, it can be done. It will be done.
Enough sappy stuff already!!! Here's the tips shared at the first meeting.
Write EVERYTHING down!
Use a food scale
Measure your food - get the proper portion size
Drink your water
Exercise
Take your Point Slider to the grocery store with you.
Food tips:
1 cup skim milk = 2 points
3/4 cup skim milk= 1 point
use low calorie bread (45 calories a slice, higher in fiber) for 1 point instead of 2 points for regular bread
