Mellow Monday Menu 9-19-11

Today was a really great, super relaxing day.  Although I had a long list of things I wanted to accomplish today I decided to slow down for a change and enjoy the day with my kids.  They were awesome and let me sleep in until 9:30 and then we had a leisurely breakfast and watched "Tangled" together.  We did do some grocery shopping and I planned my dinners for the week, but it wasn't rushed at all.  Then my hubby got off work at a decent time so I was able to go to the gym (finally!)  It had been far too long since I set foot in my gym.  That was great.  OH YEAH!  And one of the best parts of all: weigh in went a lot better than I expected.  I managed to lose more than 2 lbs and have officially hit my lowest weight in two years, 128.3 lbs, which is just .3 over my WW goal weight on paper.  Woo-hoo!  That was rather surprising.  My thought is that maybe I overestimated points+ values on some of the take out I had over the weekend and really didn't go into the red after all.  I'm not sure what happened there, but I'll take it!  Anyway, this was what I ate today:

Breakfast (8 pts)
1/2 c. egg whites, 2 slices center cut bacon, 2 slices of Sara Lee Delightful whole wheat toast with Smart Balance Light and a sprinkle of cinnamon-sugar and two skim milk/sugar free hazelnut lattes with Splenda.

Snack (0 pts)
A bowl of watermelon chunks

Lunch (13 pts)
A California burrito made with 2 oz leftover carne asada, 3 oz potato/onions cooked in canola oil, cheddar cheese, homemade salsa and light sour cream in a flour tortilla.

Dinner (9 pts)
A low fat chicken pot pie made with boiled chicken breast tenders, 98% fat free condensed soup, chicken boullion, herbs & spices, pearl onions, new potatoes, carrots, celery, corn, green beans, peas and grocery store brand refrigerated buttermilk biscuits rolled out on top of 16 oz casserole dishes. Very easy and very yummy...and there's still a ton of soup left to make pot pies for lunch tomorrow.

Dessert (6 pts)
Smart Ones Peanut Butter Cup sundae and a glass of organic skim milk.

I used 36/36 points today and earned  5 activity points. Go me! Have a good night all!
