Exercise: None.
I'm back to consuming the majority of my kcals on an evening. It hits around 16:00 and I find myself cruising the kitchen, ready to eat for England. I think I need to concentrate more on planning, so I'm going to try a more structured approach of deciding my eats for the day, in advance.
So, today's plan:
Breakfast: Coffee with cereal. Snack: Nectarine. Lunch: Tuna and Phili Light on whole-meal pita, salad. Snack: Banana and berry shake. Dinner: Baked chicken with roasted veggies.
Had a good food day. Made a yummy 1 point WW muffin recipe (One box Krustez's (spelling?) Fat Free cranberry orange muffin mix and a 16 oz. can of pumpkin, Mix and bake).Didn't do any exercise. Drank my water.
Thank's to all for posting. It inspires me and helps me know I am not alone. DCM

I like the sound of the 1 point muffins, Denise! Just the mix and a can of pumpkin? Do you still bake it at the temperature and for the length of time shown on the mix box?
Well, I didn't end off the month very well. Went over on points (even though I had plenty of flex points left, so technically I didn't go off plan). But I'm not giving myself the food points over in the monthly challenge because I didn't eat my 5 servings of veggies and I'm not happy with the late night Cheeto/cookie mini-binge.

OK, I also had serious serious munchies last night. 2 cans of Pringles worth, to be precise....and too many walnuts. Well, at least I stopped at that point, and didn't follow it up with chocolate. Felt the entirely predictable indigestion/stomach pain as a result....I can't see a lot of point beating myself up, so am just shrugging my shoulders, and getting on with it (the healthy eating, that is!).
Friday
Porridge, banana
Steamed mixed veggies and tuna
2 cans of Pringles
Walnuts
Half a melon (the chocolate substitute!)
Saturday
Coffee
Veggie stirfry and rice
Banana
Small piece of avocado
More veggie stirfry
Had my first 4 point day in a while. I had a minibinge a few days back and I really appreciated you, Jillegal, for calling it a "weeny binge". It really put it in perspective. The 1 point WW muffin is for the same time and temperture on the box. I just put together the mix and pumpkin. Very Yummy! When I later found the recipe it said to add a half cup of water. Try it either way and let me know what you think. Denise

Those muffins do sound good...I don't like cranberries though, but I bet it would be delicious with one of the other flavors too! I love the Krusteaz No Fat Blueberry Muffins - in fact, I picked up a box at the store today!
I totally had a HUGE downfall yesterday - I sucked big time (it MUST be in the air!). I'm still upset but trying to not beat myself up about this...even today, I was over my calorie goal. Yesterday when I added in everything I ate into FitDay, I was at 2700 I feel sick just thinking about it. <sad>
