Sunday 9-4-11

I'm going to try to make this quick because my Internet is acting up and who knows how long I have before it goes away again.  We have a Cox guy coming out tomorrow morning and I'm hoping the problem is resolved.  Today was not as relaxing as I'd hoped it would be.  There was a lot of running around, working on home projects, cleaning etc.  I went to the grocery store on an empty stomach which was a mistake because I bought deli food (dangerous since I had to guess at points again.)  At least I squeezed in a workout between all of the madness, while the kids napped.  I resorted to quick, not-so-healthy meals today, but I managed not to go too far over my points target, so that's good.  This was today's menu:

Breakfast (11 pts)
California burrito made with 2 oz leftover Trader Joe's carne asada, 1 tsp canola oil, 1/2 c. diced potatoes, peppers and onions, 2 Tbsp reduced fat Mexican blend cheese, homemade salsa and a whole wheat tortilla.  And 2 lattes made in the usual way, each with 1/2 c. organic skim milk, 1/2 Tbsp sugar free hazelnut creamer, coffee and Splenda.

Lunch (13 pts-ish)
4.5 oz of rosemary & garlic rotisserie chicken (breast only), 1/2 c. deli garlic mashed potatoes (ok, but not great) and about a cup of fresh steamed veggie medley.

Dinner (13 pts)
Jennie-O Lean Hot Italian turkey sausage in an 80 calorie Sara Lee Delightful wheat hot dog bun and topped with 1 slice of Sargento reduced fat pepper jack cheese and onions and tri-color peppers sauteed in 1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil, and a 1 oz side of Baked! Tostitos scoops with a homemade spicy, reduced fat queso dip (that tastes a lot better than it looks, really.)

Snack/Dessert (0 pts)
A huge bowl of watermelon chunks, shared with my little monkey man.

My official weigh in is tomorrow morning, so hopefully my weekend splurges didn't mess up the reaching of my mini-goal. I used all but 14 of my weekly points (if my tracking was anything close to accurate) but I didn't dip into my activity points at all, so we shall see. Until tomorrow. Goodnight all!
