Come on Ladies

I have oatmeal with frozen blueberries almost everyday for breakfast. I micro the oatmeal and then pour in the blueberries to cool it down fast. I like oatmeal cooked on the stove better, but don't always have time. I also keep 2 apples with me for snacks each day - or a tub of fresh berries.

At lunch I eat a low-cal soup with 5 crackers or I have salad topped with some sort of protein (tofu/chicken/shrimp).

If I think about it I try to do high protien or whole grain snacks because they keep me full longer.

Today so far I have had:
oatmeal = 2
Blueberries = 1
Creamer for my coffee = 1
Latte (12 oz, nonfat) = 2
Salad = 0
cheese on salad = 2
dressing on salad = 1
Apple = 1

snack (bean soup) = 2
Chicken Fajitas = 13

3 points over for the day (I am trying for 22)

Breakfast: oatmeal with blueberries = 3
Latte: 2
Apple: 1
Soup: 5
bites of my kids muffin: 4
bites of my kids ice cream: 5
Et tu fe?: 6 - it was incredible
bite of brownie: 1
salad dressing: 3
salad: 0
4 glasses of wine: 16
Total for the day: 46

Dancing till midnight: Priceless

Today: 1/2 apple for breakfast and a latte: = 3

I'll post yesterday since today's still in progress:

b: oatmeal w/ dried cranberries (4pts)
s1: 2 homemade cookies (2pts)
l: 1/2c carrots, 2 flatbreads, 1/4c hummus, 1/4c cottage cheese, apple (5pts)
s2: banana and 1/2 tbsp pnut butter (3pts)
d: 1/2c brown rice and 1c lentil stew (red lentils, onion, celery, ground turkey) (7pts)
s3: pear crumble: pear, 1 tbsp light margerine, 1/3c oatmeal + ww flour mixture, tbsp walnuts (6pts)

TOTAL 27pts... 3 FP used (really didn't need that pnut butter with the banana!!)


Today's not off to a great start... FH and I went out for breakfast, you know what that means: fried potatoes! Let's try to break it down:

2 pieces of brown toast (3pts -- they were small)
1 egg (2pts)
2 slices bacon (2 pts)
1c homefries (5 pts)
assorted oils used in cooking which I don't know about (2pts at least)

I'm guessing the total for my breakfast was 14 points... That's an estimate. Meaning I have 10 left for the rest of the day...... Yikes! I think I can do it, or at least come close. Here's the plan for the rest of the day:

lunch: standard hummus, carrots, 1 flatbread, cottage cheese, fruit (4pts)

dinner: homemade chicken and black bean soup -- 3pts/2c and homemade 2pt dinner roll (5pts)

I'll need at least one snack, so I'll make it a 1pt snack... Then anything else I eat will be FP. Weigh-in is tomorrow so I better drink off all that sodium from breakfast.... plus it's TOM, i'm not terribly optimistic about WI!!

Britomart what do you mean by "better drink off all the sodium ?" how do you do that ?


I'll post as I eat ...... Track Track Track


Breakfast ~

2 Cups of Coffee/non Dairy Crm/SL = 2 Points
WW Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal = 2 Points

Snack ~

3 Slices Lite Toast ICBINB = 1.5


Lunch ~ (yet to come)

2 Veggie Pattys = 2 Points
Slice of Swiss Cheese = 2 Points
Lite Toast (serving as a Bun) = 1 Point
Can of Green Beans = 0 points


And I am starting to PMS .... Hope I make it through with out totally going over Board !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has sunk in that I used most of my extra points for the week yesterday. Arggghh.

I have another party tonight, but it is a wine tasting and I definately do not want to taste any more wine. I would skip it, but a good friend is throwing it and I have missed her last several parties.

So far today:
apple (2)
latte (2)
2% milk carton (3)
asian chicken salad (7)

Drink alot of water before you go in and make sure you FULL !!!!!

All I meant by "drinking off the sodium" is that there was a lot of salt in my breakfast, and salt makes you retain water... And the only cure for that is to drink more water to flush it out of your system! No magic cures here

No No No That sounds good to me. I was a little concerened with how much sodium is in some of the food I have been eatting .....

Glad to hear drinking water helps with this....

I really had no idea... a little ignorant of me.


Thanks Again
