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
Chocolate Crème Cake
1 POINTS® value per cake
Rich and satisfying, these snack cakes have a great new taste including a decadent cream filled center that delivers a cocoa flavor

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!

Ooo... I have those WW chocolate treats in my pantry right now and I love them! I take them to work to eat on my break so I avoid buying a candy bar from the vending machine.

Ok, I beg to be let off for yesterday because I was on an experimental diet to make sure I don't have gall bladder disease. Yes, I was told to eat as much fat as possible yesterday to see if it caused me pain. Doctors orders! Couldn't be helped! ;o) I'm starting today and will post my hopeful success tomorrow.

Hello ladies! I just can't believe how fast I used my 20 pts on Wednesday. I was very dissapointed by 2 o'clock when I only had 4 pts. left. William just said:"Ok, Hun. Good luck! But I have to say that I sticked to it. After having a huge sandwich at noon, all I could eat was 1 cup of rice and 1 cup of beans with some peppers and 1 single small flour tortilla. It was hard! But I did it!! Yesterday it was the same story: I used 15 pts. by 2 pm. It's a matter of thinking to yourself and teaching your body that you can eat healthy and that you don't have to feel full every time you eat! Thanks for the support! I enjoyed reading your little stories of the day!
