Saturday 9-24-11

We had a really nice day.  My grandma is down from Mexico and I got to see her for the first time in 7 months or so.  My family and my sister's family went to my parents' to have dinner with her.  It was a good time.  Sorry for the quick post but I'm super tired and hubby is pacing back and forth waiting to use the comp after me so I'll just get to my menu.  This is what I ate today:

Breakfast (10 pts)

2 slices of Delightful pumpkin spice french toast with 2 Tbsp homemade pumpkin butter, 1/4 c. egg whites, 2 turkey sausage links and a pumpkin spice latte. Yay autumn!

Lunch (9 pts)

1 oz whole grain thin spaghetti topped with 1/2 c. homemade marinara, 3 oz of homemade healthy parmesan chicken nuggets and 1 oz of melted 2% mozzarella cheese and a Diet Root Beer. 

Dinner (12 pts-ish)

A bowl of my mom's albondigas soup plus another ladle full a little while later. This may be an overestimation, points-wise.  My recipe is 8 pts for a huge bowl and I ate about the same amount of my mom's, but I added a few points just to be safe since I don't know how much oil my mom used, how much rice, etc. 

Dessert (9 pts)

A 3 oz slice of old-fashioned buttermilk cinnamon streussel cake. 

I used 40 pts today of my 36, so 4 weeklies.  I'm fighting some powerful urges to have a snack though, so we'll see how the rest of the night goes.  Good night all!
