Today marks Day 1 in my new week. I want to buckle down this week, only eat out once if at all, lower my sodium intake and drink more water. I'd like to be more active, but I'm not sure if my leg will allow it.
4/30/13
Breakfast:
2 Pieces light wheat toast 2PP
1 Tbsp B 'n PB 1PP
1 apple, sliced 0PP
1 yogurt 2PP
8 Oz diet juice 0PP
Breakfast Banana-pumpkin pancakes (1 ripe banana, 1/4 c. pumpkin puree, 6T egg beaters and 1t baking powder) topped with 1/4 c. greek yogurt, 1T maple syrup and cinnamon. (Those were a bit eggy for my taste so next time I will add 1-2 TBSP of oat flour to it. Still low in points!)
Lunch
Small green smoothie (spinach, carrots, kiwi, strawberry, bit of applesauce/water and 1/2 cup greek yogurt.)
130g sweet potato with 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp brown sugar.
Dinner Key West Grilled Chicken on top of a taco salad (crushed lime tortilla chips, cilantro lime brown rice, corn, black beans, lettuce, spinach, 1-2 slices avocado, dollop of greek yogurt, and bit of salsa or tabasco.)
Today is a complete write off. I made goal today and over shot it by 2.4 lbs. On the way home I stopped for a large mocha, donut, candies and smarties and we are going out for dinner tonight. so I am taking today off from tracking and will be back at it tomorrow on maintenance with 6 extra dps.
Morning Snack
1/2 biscuit: 2PP
strawberries: 1PP (they had sugar in them but it didn't taste like much)
2 tbsp cool whip (I had something healthier packed but this is my favorite from the cafeteria and a student bought it for me as a surprise so I compromised and only ate half the biscuit) 1PP
Lunch: 8PP
Sandwich thin with 2oz turkey and hot and sweet mustard: 4PP
2 RF cheese sticks: 3PP
2 dark chocolate kisses: 1PP
Supper (super late because of practice) and the points may be off because DH made it and left a serving in a bowl for me:
3/4 cup white rice 4PP
Green beans 0PP
3oz chicken 3PP
Olive oil 2 tsp 2PP
After supper/doing progress reports snack:
178g cottage cheese: 4PP
1 cup strawberries: 0PP
1 snack size bag mini-oreos: 3PP
Total: 42
Daily allowed: 43
Missing 1 point but I'm full and I have no doubt that DH's concoction for supper or the strawberry shortcake treat for morning snack are under points so I'm leaving it on the table today.
Ladypurl, glad you're joining us! Your day looks awesome. And sometimes it's okay to be under your DPA by a few points. As long as you're not making it a daily habit.
Breakfast Pumpkin Oatmeal pancakes with an extra tbsp of egg beaters and about 2 tbsp extra pumpkin puree to batter since it was still thick. Topped it with a mixture of 1 tsp maple syrup, 1/4 cup greek yogurt, 1/4 cup pumpkin puree and some cinnamon. This is definitely better than the banana/pumpkin pancakes I made the other day.
Lunch
Homemade zucchini fries (originally was gonna have cheesesticks but they were a bust since oven was too high, lol!) with homemade chipotle ranch dip- 1/4 cup greek yogurt, 1 tbsp skim milk, 2 tsp dry ranch seasoning and 1/8 tsp dry chipotle marinade.
130g baked sweet potato with 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp brown sugar.
Dinner
Farfalle pasta with lean ground beef in mock tomato sauce (canned beets, steamed carrots, roasted garlic/mushrooms/onions/zucchini/red bell pepper with 1-2 tbsp red wine vinegar and a ton of italian seasoning herbs) with 1 light shredded cheese stick on top. I am in awe of the mock tomato sauce- sooo good and I hate beets.
Dessert
1 piece chocolate chip blondie (betty crocker cookie mix with 3 tbsp eggbeaters, 1 tbsp oil and approx. 5 tbsp applesauce made into 9x13 pan divvied up in 12 big pieces.)
Snack
Green smoothie- 140g strawberries, 55g banana, 40g spinach and 85g carrots with 1 cup plain yogurt.
