HEY ALL! I never really plan my meals because I usually share food/make meals with my roommate so we always decide together...but it seems like a good idea...

ANYWAYS: I feel kinda unhealthy today because I told myself I was going to eat all healthy food today, but if you guys could CRITIQUE my day, that would be AWESOME!! I know it probably sounds kinda weird, but reassurance is awesome...

So TODAY I had:
B: english muffin with margarine and fake bacon (4pts)
S: cottage cheese and a granola bar (4 pts)
L: sandwich with fake canadian bacon, 2 small pieces of cheese, 2 pieces of whole wheat bread, lettuce, tomato, and fat free mayo (8pts)
S: salad with mushrooms, carrots, and 2 servings of spray dressing (1pt)
D: wheat angel hair pasta with mushrooms and low fat sauce (8pts)
S: fat free fudgsicle (1pt) and WW sundae (3pts)

This was 29/30...I didn't eat an extra point just in case there was a lil more than portioned on the angel hair because I had to estimate.

So yeah that was today....I'll try to plan tomorrow's:

Tuesday:
B: cereal with milk: 4 pts
S:banana:2pts
L: lean cuisine with steamed carrots: 6 pts
S: granola bar: 2 pts
D:veggie burger, cheese, bread, ff mayo, lettuce tomato: 9pts
S: almonds: 4 pts, orange: 1pt, fudgsicle:1 pt

that's 29/30



I also didn't get much exercise in lately! The last time I worked out was Friday, and then I only did 20 minutes on the treadmill today. Partly because the small office gym was too crowded and partly because my stomach was hurting. Hopefully the gym won't be too crowded tomorrow night so I can have a good workout!

I don't plan my meals, either. I kind of wing it.

Tuesday:
B- 2 egg whites, turkey bacon, WhiteWheat bread (1 slice=45 cals) and coffee
Dunno what else I'm having to eat yet. I did about 40 minutes of cardio this morning. I didn't get to do the last 3-4 minutes because I had to get the young 'uns out of bed to get ready for school.

I live in a very small town and none of the surrounding stores carry the vitatops so I order mine off the internet - http://www.vitalicious.com/

I get them within a week of ordering them. I will usually buy the sampler box cause it has a few of each kind including the brownies. I have learned that they are not as good at room temp, but if you heat them up in the microwave about 30 sec they get very moist and YUMMY!!!

Don't really have a taco salad recipe, but I can tell you what I put in it.

I just brown 1/2 lb lean ground beef and 1/2 lb lean ground turkey and once that is cooked I add the taco seasoning and let it simmer while I cut everything else up. I will usually make up quite a batch so that I have something to eat for the evenings the kids are at there dad's and it is just me or for lunches that week.

I just crunch up some baked doritos then add the meat mixture on top - a little sprinkling of lowfat cheese and then I add tons of veggies. Lettuce/tomato/green peppers/ shredded carrots/onions. I know it sounds weird, but I have found I love non traditional taco veggies in there too. I then top with some salsa - a little ketchup and some fat free sour cream then mix it all up and chow down.

I will sometimes add chili/black/refried beans if I have some left over that I need to use up.

It is soooo simple and something that my kids love too and I can sneak in some good veggies in their tacos without them throwing too much of a fit. :D

I hope this helps...
