Friday 11-18-11

Hey guys, happy Friday!  Today was pretty cool.  The hubby ended up working from home today and only til about 1:30ish so we got a lot of family time today.  It also meant that I was able to hit the gym in the middle of the afternoon, which was awesome.  I did get a bit splurge-y tonight, but I'm still within my weekly points so it's ok.  Plus I exercised a lot this week.  This is what I ate today:

Breakfast (8 pts)
Egg whites with lots of veggies, light cheese, 2 slices center cut bacon, 1 slice Sara Lee Delightful wheat toast and 2 organic skim milk/hazelnut lattes.

Lunch (10 pts) 
1/2 leftover Indian inspired turkey burger on 1/2 Trader Joe's garlic naan, hot curry mayo, cilantro, red onions and cucumber slices, 3 oz baked sweet potato fries and a Diet Shasta Cola.

Post-workout snack (4 pts)
1 slice Sara Lee Delightful wheat bread spread with 1 Tbsp reduced fat peanut butter and organic granny smith apple slices

Dinner (8 pts)
A big bowl of homemade crock pot chicken tortilla soup topped with reduced fat pepper jack, lime, Baked Tostitos scoops, homemade salsa, 1 oz avocado slices and garnished with cilantro.

Dessert (6 pts)
A bowl of fruit salad modified to lower the points. I think some people call it Ambrosia salad, but growing up we just called it fruit salad.

Dessert #2...oops (14 pts)
3 dark chocolate hazelnut kiss cookies and Diet Swiss Miss made with water and topped with 7 g mini marshmallows.

Unecessary snack (6 pts)
A handful of roasted pumpkin seeds and 2 sugar free mini peanut butter cups

Ok, ok, I went a little nuts with chocolate today. I am craving it like CRAZY.  But it really could have been much worse. (At least that's what I'm telling myself.)  I'm going to try to stick to my 36 pts tomorrow to make up for today's madness.  I can't believe I ate about 59 pts+ today, woah! I only have 18 weeklies left for the rest of the weekend, but all of my activity points are in tact and I refuse to dip into those.  My parents are babysitting for us tomorrow so that we can run errands for our upcoming trip (diapers, cold weather clothes, baby food etc) and I am going to try to resist eating at a restaurant.  I have a rough idea of tomorrow's menu in my head so I'm going to do my best to stick to it.  That's all I can do.  Well, thanks for reading.  Good night folks!
