Day 4: The energy is AMPED!

I woke up at 6am today after going to bed at 12:30am...but I was ready and rarin' to go!  It's so weird!  I know that it's not healthy to do that all the time...but I am so wired today!  I get to get fabulous groceries this evening!  I am so pumped to try pomegranates and to get some lovely leafy greens to make stellar salads...plus wild rice.  Mmm...I love all of these things and I am remembering how full and happy I was while eating this way.  I know it seems crazy because I am so focused...but it's focused in a good way.

Breakfast:
2 scrambled eggs with bacon bits: 5pts
2 slices Smart White Bread: 3pts
2T Smart Balance Lite (essential oils): 2pts
1 Banana: 0pts

Lunch:
Lean Cuisine Steamer: 7pts
3 Jawbreakers: 2pts

Snacks:
Apple: 0pts
Iced Tea: 4pts
Walnuts/Almonds: 3pts


The walnut/almond packs are leftover from Korea.  I'm excited to get the straight-up almonds.  I think I will just buy a bulk container and snack baggies and then label with point values.  :)

Also - I am super excited because Erin Trawick and I decided that we are going to do an after school program starting in March and ending just before April break that is Dance Exercise.  We want to choreograph songs for it or find dance exercise songs online for it.  NICE!  I think I will try to use that Gasoline song I saw on YouTube!  LOVE IT!!!

Dinner:
Eating into the weekly points allowance tonight!  YES!
Tuna: 2pts
2T REAL Mayo: 5pts
WholeW Flat sandwich bread: 2pts
1/4c Cheddar Cheese blend: 3pts

(hahaha...a 12 point sandwich.  MMMM SOOOO GOOD.)

Day 3: Can I make it until tomorrow?

Tomorrow is grocery day!  YES!  I've made it this far.  I cheated and stepped on the scale this morning because I felt so good.  I know it's wrong because weight fluctuates so much from day to day.  The good news is that I used to do this all the time and I haven't been under 240 for about 9 months now.  Today I was 239.4.  Neat...so we'll see how it goes Monday.

Still trying to make it through with what I've got until tomorrow.  This means not necessarily eating the BEST foods off the WW power list...but at least I am still within points and FULL.  Breakfast today was a bit extravagant.  I think next time I will half both the bacon bits and the feta - it was too much!  Having the SmartBalance on my toast was great, though, because it gave me my two tablespoons of essential oils for the day!  I was reading what it's made of and it has olive AND flax seed oil as the base!  NICE!  Anyway, here's my food today...

Breakfast:
2 eggs: 4pts
2 slices Smart White toast: 3pts
1.5T SmartBalance: 3pts
1/4c Low-Fat Feta: 2
2T Bacon Bits: 1
Applesauce: 0

(And yeah...it was huuuuge.  Too much food...but I LOVE breakfast!)

Lunch:
Leftover Sausage: 6pts
Spicy Black Beans: 6pts
Apple: 0pts

Snacks:
Iced Tea: 4pts
Tuna Fish: 2pts
Jawbreakers: 3pts

Dinner:
Grilled Pollock: 2pts
Peas, canned: 2pts

Day 2 - empty food house challenge! LOL

Breakfast:
1/8c shredded cheddar: 2pts
1 boca burger: 3pts
2 slices Wonder Smart White bread: 3pts
Ketchup: 0pts
Banana: 0pts

This worked out to a pretty awesome 8-point breakfast.  It was like having a burger for breakfast.  The smart white has extra fiber, protein, and whole grains.  So...

Lunch:
Leftovers:
Seasoned Lean Pork (4oz): 4pts
1/2c white rice: 3pts
Carrots: 0pts

Dinner:
2 Spinach and feta chicken sausages: 6pts
2 servings black beans with spices: 6pts

Snacks:  
Apple: 0pts
FF Chocolate Pudding (milk): 2pts
Iced Tea: 4pts
Jawbreakers: 3pts

So...today I used all my points.  I can't wait to go grocery shopping and have stuff to make a salad out of those sausages!  They are SO good.  MMM...
