Name: Lindsey (kinda obvious from my username... Haha.)
Location: Texas
Current Plan: Points Plus
Current Weight: 250. Not too happy about that, since it means that over the past year I gained about 60-70 lbs, but hey, the important thing is that I'm putting a stop to it and moving in the right direction, right?
Lifetime Goal: 160, but I'll be happy at 164, which technically puts me into the healthy weight range.
Trigger Foods: Anything handy whenever I'm feeling tired or anxious (usually something carby and either sweet or salty).
Goal for the Week: To stay within my points, at least until Thursday when I'll be going out of town after med school exams. At that point, my goal is just to do my best, but have a good time!
Challenge for the Week: Not to overeat at restaurants next weekend. Not too picky about what I order, as long as I stop when I'm satisfied.
How can we help You this week?: Just be your lovely selves.
Tracker for the day (I haven't eaten dinner/evening snack, but have planned everything out):
Breakfast:
2 servings bran flakes (5pp) with 1 c almond milk (2pp), 1 tsp soy creamer in my tea (0pp)
Lunch:
Italian split pea soup (7pp), side salad (0pp) with tomato dressing (3pp) and imitation bacon bits (1pp), banana (0pp)
Snack:
1 piece whole grain toast (3pp) with 1/2 tbsp Earth Balance (1pp) and 1 tsp nutritional yeast (0pp), and an apple (0pp)
Dinner:
Braised seitan with cabbage (4pp), small baked potato (3pp) with 1/2 tbsp Earth Balance (1pp) and imitation bacon bits (1pp), and broccoli (0pp)
Evening Snack:
1 glass white wine (4pp), homemade zucchini bread (5pp), and 2 small squares dark chocolate with crystallized ginger (1pp)
That comes out to 41/41 points that I'm supposed to have for the day. It's a lot of food. Hopefully, I'm not eating too many servings of fruit a day, but I guess we'll see how it goes! I'm trying to save up my weekly points for this weekend, and I might go over, but that's okay! I'm not going to beat myself up for enjoying myself after my first round of medical school tests.
