TechAlum · 09-22-2008, 09:58 AM

Here's to a new week.

TechAlum · 09-22-2008, 10:07 AM

Well this week I'm going to do Flex because I'll be at the hospital a lot, and I have a hard time eating out on Core (it's the choices I make I know). I'm going to try to stick to mostly core foods tho.

So here goes:

b - egg sandwich [4pts]; banana [2pts]
s - fruit cup [1pt]
l - fajita turkey burger patty [4pts]; over a salad w/avocado [2pts]; w/tomatillo salsa for dressing [0pts]; sour cream [1pt]
s -
d - 1/2 ny strip steak [6pts]; baked potato [3pts]; sour cream [2pts]; roasted brussle sprouts w/oil [1pt]; wine [6pts]
s - tortilla chips & salsa [3pts]; wine [2pts]

AP - bike ride for 1 hr - 4pts

points total: 33/28 5 WPA used (14/35 for week)

Note its our anniversary so we'll probably split a bottle of wine with dinner I don't usually have that much.

edited: I couldn't resist the salsa I'd made so I had some as a snack while watching tv. That's why I don't drink wine w/dinner often anymore.

Good Morning Ladies

Nothing new, Looks like we're going to have cloudy day,Hoping to get down to the beach and get some walking done before the rain come in.

Had a bad core day last night I went wild,eating everything in sight while watching tv,but I'm back OP this morning. Why does that happen from time to time.

I don't know if the Core is working for me anymore,I tried going HARD Core by not having that any WPA's as of now I only used 13 this week and my week started on Friday. Any input,other than Vickie thinking I'm not eating enough.Just curious of what other are doing to get the scale numbers down.

Donna-Thanks

for starting us up this week and

Happy Anniversary

Sorry

Have to go will post later

Hugs
