Yumm, yours looks good.
My menu is a little out of my control today. My roommate is making dinner for us today and even though it's healthy, it's probably not CORE. Here goes: Breakfast/Brunch: Egg Canadian Bacon Coffee no sugar Lunch: Just snacking due to late breakfast: Clementines and an apple Dinner: Chicken Vegetable Alfredo Ingredients: chicken, broccoli, carrots, onion, garlic, ff milk, ff sour cream, whole wheat pasta, and ww flour Is this CORE if all the ingredients are? And a piece of fresh bread 2 diet coke Yeah! 2nd day on CORE 16/35pts |
Sounds like a good Core day to me! The bread is the only thing that's not but you have your 35 WPAs to use, so use them!

But to be quite honest while driving home I realized I just ate the stuff "cuz it was there"...was not supremely hungry at the time - just saw everyone else eating and so I joined in - need to RETRAIN THE BRAIN not to eat unless I require nourishment.
