Allowance Points
 

How is everyone doing with their allowance points on CORE? How are you using them?

So far I have been using 2 points a day for yogurt during the week and I had some FF tortilla shells Saturday night - for the week I've only used 8 of them.

This is a great topic! I was wondering that myself :)
I WI on friday and am down to 17 pts now... why? because saturday I went out to eat and used two on some bread and then later we hit burger king for dinner and I used 13 for stuff there.... but at home I only use it for bread or tortillas... etc. Like tonight I will use two on 2 LC tortillas with dinner, but I earned 2 ap's today so I'll use them instead. But since I just started core last tuesday I didn't want to use all my pts right away because I didn't know what I might need them for, like on flex I would WI and then eat the rest of the night and use every one of my flex pts before fri-sat was over! But I don't want to do that now, I want to be able to have a sandwich every now and then so I have to keep pts for stuff like that. It may change in the future as I get better at making 100% core meals and just using my weekly pts on treats or whatever I want. But I am loving it so far!!! :)

I used one for 1/2 a bagel (Sara Lee Delightful Wheat), some for light balsamic vinagrette salad dressing, and some for margarine. I've been OC for two days and have used 4 pts.

I'm not going to use them for snacky stuff - that's what I'm trying to not eat. I used 1 for 1 sl. of bread yesterday. I'm really only going to use them for something special because I want to optimize my weight loss.

What I've Used My allowance Pts on
 

Cereal, baked potato

I used 2 on fruit yogurt cause I had them in the house, 2 on cheese stick (same reason), 3 for a tortillia, 2 for chips at a mexican food restaurant full fat salad dressing. I plan to use them for occasional sandwich, triscuit crackers or occasional eating out. Tomorrow we will eat at a mexican food place for our car club so I will use 2 for the chips again. If I want peanut butter I'll use it for that.
