Thursday 9-22-11

Today was another day spent mostly in the kitchen prepping and cooking a lot of butternut squash and pumpkin, making baby food, and then doing all of my food prep for dinner ahead of time.  Aside from a mall walk with the kids I never got around to working out.  I'm pretty exhausted anyway.  I've been going to bed way too late and it's affecting my cognitive function in a major way, so after this it will be an early bed time for me. I'm probably not even going to eat my last point of the day.  We'll see.  As it stands I had 35 of my 36 points.  This is what I had today:

Breakfast (9 pts)

Light ham, egg white & cheese breakfast sandwich on Sara Lee Delightful wheat toast and 1 large skinny pumpkin spiced latte (divided into two mugs so I felt like I was having two.)

Lunch (6 pts)

Baby spinach salad with honey roasted butternut squash, pumpkin seeds, gorgonzola and dried cherries. I found this idea on the Skinny Taste blog, but I modified it slightly, accidentally lowering the points. Score! (I also did NOT use the WW recipe builder function so that may have affected things too. I'm a nursing mama, so it's ok!)

Snack (0 pts)

A banana

This was a very tasty Pampered Chef recipe! LOVED it!

Dinner (20 pts)

Moroccan-spiced Apricot chicken over Israeli couscous (with dried apricots and cilantro) and 85 g Trader Joe's garlic naan with 1 tsp Smart Balance Light buttery spread.

Hmm...I know I said I wasn't going to eat my last WW point of the night, but my tummy is suddenly growling at me, so I'm going to go ahead and grab a light string cheese before I head off into dream land.  So...

Snack (1 pt)

1 light string cheese

Good night friends!
