I did have a MAJOR NSV today though. On the way home from taking my DD to her swimming lessons, my DH called and asked if I would pick him up Burger King for lunch. So, I did and I didn't get anything! I didn't even WANT anything! I knew I was having my black bean salsa and I was really looking forward to it - so I passed on BK! I don't think I"ve ever EVER done that before! Major for me!
But, then...I still ate too much today anyway. <sigh>
I'm back! I'd been struggling a little lately. I hurt my knee again, and I've had to cut back on exercising (I should say that I hurt while exercising, so I should get some points for that), but it's really upseting to me to go backwards like this.
Anyway, I did get back 100% on plan yesterday, here's my food:
2 - coffee
1 - egg whites
3 - luna bar
1 - ww 1pt cake
5 - zone bar
2 - coffee
6 - LC chicken in peanut sauce
0 - sugar snap peas 4 - non-fat frozen yogurt
24 points (out of 26)
I've been haphazard about my food tracking in the past week, so I haven't posted my eats. I was home sick three days last week, and could have taken another one easily. It started as sinusitis but the congestion has moved down into my chest, so I'm coughing like nobody's business. While I was home sick, all I wanted was carbs. I think one day I ate half a loaf of bread. Then made mashed potatoes with butter and cream cheese for dinner. I did eat a lot of fruit, and some veggies. And soup, which is another comfort food. And lots and lots of tea. Needless to say, I didn't lose any weight last week, but I didn't gain either. Here I am, back to recording food.
MONDAY
Breakfast:
cheese bread, toasted, w/butter
Lunch: (at IHOP with family, got the sausage gravy platter and found I didn't want that much of it. It was too heavy and greasy, and my "mouth memory" wasn't the same as the reality)
one biscuit with sausage gravy
half a sausage patty
one of the two eggs
three forkfuls of the HUGE MOUND of hash browns
big glass of orange juice
coffee w/milk
Afternoon snack to keep the Beast at bay:
After that huge brunch I didn't need anything later
Dinner:
grilled steak
grilled zucchini (we're getting a lot of 'em in our garden)
Snacks throughout the day:
watermelon
Drinks:
tea
iced tea
Calories:
about 2000
Exercise:
shopping walking, but nothing official (gem and hunter went swimming but I'm still feeling under the weather so I couldn't join them. And gem finally got to the point where she's able to lift her head up out of water to breath, and swam across the pool. *sighs, sad to have missed it*)

That's not much, especially in the way of calories, but we are going out after work for a little "happy hour" or my boss who is moving to NC this week, so I'm sure I will have something there that is not included in my plan, so I have adjusted my regular daily menu to prepare for that
