Thursday 9-1-11

Today was pretty rough.  Baby girl is sick and kept me up all night with her screaming and crying.  She was inconsolable so I spent most of last night half-asleep rocking and shushing her.  I kept telling myself "It's ok, you can sleep in tomorrow."  Of course both kids decided to wake up at 6 a.m. this morning, so I was tired all day.  It was definitely a 3 latte kind of morning, go- go-go right from the start.  I rushed through breakfast and shared with the hubby, so it didn't look as appetizing as it tasted. Then I cleaned, did laundry and continued purging my closet and drawers of stuff I no longer need.  It felt good to finally let go of some stuff.  Another productive day.  I also sneaked a little peak at my not-so-accurate bathroom scale this morning and was happy with what I saw, but I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch; I will be weighing in for my "mini-goal" weight check Saturday morning, but I still need to get through tomorrow.  I made a menu change for the hubs and a craving he's had for a while, and it's not really WW-friendly.  Anyway, this is what today's yummy menu looked like:

Breakfast (10 pts)
Tomato-basil egg white omelet with neufchatel & reduced fat feta, 2 links of turkey sausage and 3 lattes, each made with 1/3 c. skim milk + coffee + 1 tsp sugar free hazelnut creamer + 1 packet of Splenda.

Snack (0 pts)
sliced organic pink lady apple

Lunch (11 pts)
Leftover chicken marsala, 1 oz angel hair pasta tossed with garlic and 1 tsp Smart Balance light, and garlic roasted asparagus. Diet Shasta Root Beer.

Snack (7 pts)
40 g garlic naan, 1/2 oz Chevrai soft unripened roasted garlic goat cheese and 1 oz dry Italian salami


Dinner (13 pts)
Baked lemon & herb chicken, 1/2 serving wild rice pilaf and spinach salad with mushrooms, balsamic vinaigrette and crumbled goat cheese, and 4 fl oz of moscato, my favorite kind of wine.

Dessert (0 pts)
1 1/2 c. mixed organic berries topped with fat free Reddi-Wip

I dipped into my weekly points this evening because of an unplanned pre-dinner snack but I'm still in good shape for the weekend.  I used 41 points+. Not too bad.  Well, I am really exhausted and need to go to sleep.  Good night friends. Until tomorrow...
