I couldn't figure out on Weight Watchers' website where I could enter my food now that I've switched to Core - it seems to have taken away the planning area I used to use for Flex! Then again, it looked like they were doing some site updates, so I hope it's just temporary. So here's the best I can do, being new, by myself:

Monday:

Breakfast - oatmeal cooked with water and soymilk, banana, coffee
Lunch - butternut squash soup (1 for coconut milk in it); apple; salad w/oil and vinegar
Snack - fig newtons (3 points)
Dinner - chicken, corn on the cob w/margarine (1 pt), brussels sprouts

=5 pts used today
=20 pts used this week (used a lot over the weekend as I started the program)

I need to work on getting Core snacks easily accessible, as I don't have any right now, hence the fig newtons...

Tuesday

Br - core pancakes, frozen fruit w/1T syrup [1pt]
sn -
dnr - l/o enchilada casserole [3pt]; salad w/vinegar and oil
sup - black bean soup; hummus and pita chips [3pts]; pudding

Planned AP - weight training @ gym 45 min [+2pts]
Daily WPA - 7 - 2 = 5 pts

Weekly WPA 12/35

It has been the day from you-know-where here at work, and I am exhausted. I am not sure what I will do for dinner, or if I will even make it to dinnertime without falling into bed face-first.

Here's what I've had so far.
-oatmeal.
-ff muffin (6?)
-2 hb eggs.
-banana
-grapes
-cottage cheese
-1/4c or so of black rice
-pasta salad (2 for dressing?)
-bean soup
-piece of bread with melted swiss (3)

I think I've used up the rest of my weekly 35 with this, but I am too tired to care much Tomorrow's my start-over day anyway.

[Tejas]

Oh, I know that too tired feeling... I blew it at lunch and don't even care I'll make it up for it on the weekend.
