It could have been a difficult two days. Two family parties involving TONS of food over the past two days. I ate 37 points worth of food yesterday and that just blows me away because I was VERY careful and ate small portions. Of course, I went to the movies last night and had some popcorn and a few pieces of candy. But like a small handful of skittles and 4 red vines. At the party, I only had a 1/4 c. of guacamole and a handful of tortilla chips, 1 small serving of vegetarian Mexican lasagne, 1 handful of goldfish crackers (my indulgence!) and one of the smallest cupcakes. It was controlled and not constant snacking. Yet I almost doubled my points for the day. Good thing I watched it and didn’t just eat without paying attention. Oh the trouble I could have gotten into!!
Today was different story. It helped that it was a get together for breakfast. And they served a big bowl of berries!! I had a small plate of mixed berries and that was it. Lunch was a 6″ veggie delite on whole grain honey oat bread from Subway. That was a LOT more filling than the guac, chips, lasagne & cupcake combined, and a fraction of the points!!
I didn’t exercise yesterday intentionally. My left knee has really been acting up and I decided to give it the day off. I just finished 45 min on the elliptical tonite. I figure 6 days a week is pretty darn good.
I feel really energized and upbeat. Can’t wait for Monday!!
