Monday 11-7-11

Hi guys, I'm back! (Again, hopefully for good this time.)  I got up early, weighed in for the first time in a couple weeks and had a crazy day of cleaning like a wild woman until fifteen minutes before a home showing.  At the fifteen-til mark the kids and I left so there was no chance of them making a huge mess before the potential buyers showed up.  As soon as we got into the car to leave my two year old started saying he was "so so sooo hungry" so I started driving in the direction of food.  He told me he "needed" Taco Bell, ha (what the heck?)  I ate off the "drive-thru diet" menu to stay kind of on track and the kids split pintos 'n cheese (no sauce) and a chicken quesadilla before we went off to the store to buy a few grocery items. I still need to plan the rest of the week's dinner menus, but I'm set for the next few days at least.  I needed to get back on track.  I had a super splurge-y October (as you can probably tell from my lack of blog entries.)  Amazingly I am still in the 120s, though just barely.  I somehow lost a couple of the pounds I gained over October but I'm still not where I should be.  This is what I ate today:

Breakfast (9 pts)
1/2 c. carton egg whites cooked in butter flavor Pam, 2 slices Oscar Meyer center cut bacon, 2 slices of Sara Lee Delightful whole wheat toast with Smart Balance light, and a giant organic skim milk/sugar free hazelnut latte with Splenda.

Lunch at Taco Bell (12 pts)
1 fresco style crunchy beef taco and 1 fresco style bean burrito, bottled water.

Sorry for the sloppy pic on a paper plate. I was starving and in a hurry to eat. :) 

Dinner (15 pts) 
Cheese steak sandwich made with 4 oz lean steak, 1 tsp olive oil, onions, red/green/yellow peppers, sliced white mushrooms, Sargento reduced fat pepper jack cheese and two Sara Lee Delightful wheat hot dog buns (because I totally forgot to buy bread at the deli, but it worked well since I toasted it!) Also, 3 oz baked shoe string fries with some ketchup and a Diet Shasta root beer.

I used 36 of 36 points plus today.  My one year old is showing no signs of wanting to wean from nursing any time soon, which is fine by me. I love the extra 7 points a day I get while nursing her and when she eventually weans I will sorely miss them.  Anywho, that's all I got for today.  "See" you tomorrow.
