Thanks Rosario I love this thread and use to do it all the time! I am so glad you started it up again.

So OMG I am gonna have to try that santa fe chicken!!!

courtnie - you're doing good too!! WTG! btw - is that noodle soup homemade? or store bought? I'd like to try it!

b - cheerios, milk, oj
s - apple, cheese
l - 1/2 c rice, 1/2 potato, 1 meatball, brocolli
s - pineapple, wasa crackers and cc, cucumber
d - whatever bf's mom makes

I see that I have no veggies again, I might go pick up some frozen or the prepared fresh one just so I can nuke em and have more in the diet! <-------picked some up!!!

Ro - yah I just made the soup up! I buy these little noodle nests - that are pre portioned so I always use the right amount - and they are 140 calories/3 points - then I just add shrimp and whatever veggies I feel like, broth, etc. Makes a good filling lunch!

So that santa fe chicken was pretty good, I will be posting about it and some pics on my blog at some point today. (countingmycalories.com)

As for today, I have a plan - but I really want sushi, soooo it might change. I also need to have an early dinner on the go (like 4ish) but I am getting my hair done tonight and won't be home until 8 probably.

EDIT: It changed, I got sushi, haha.

courtnie - i was browsing that website you linked to...it's freaking awesome!! I'm not doing weight watchers but those recipes look good and low in fat and cals. I'm going to definitely be trying some out!

Ro - I just found that site on Monday and have already made 3 things! I really love it! And everything seems low in points. 1 points is around 50 calories, so just keep that in mind for guessing calories.

I do like the hungry-girl.com website too if you ever never see that. Her site is a bit confusing, so I just sign up for the emails. I find her stuff a bit 'processed' - but still low in calories/points.
