Tuesday 11-15-11

Today didn't turn out like I planned it.  I slept in kind of late after an extremely long night with baby girl. She was up all night like a newborn!  My plan for today was to do a little bit of light cleaning, make up my menu for the next six days, grocery shop, take baby girl in for blood work and exercise.  The hubby called and asked if I could get the house ready for a showing instead, so I did.  Fortunately he got off work at a reasonable time and the four of us went on a mini-grocery trip together so we'd be gone for the showing.  When we got home there was no evidence that it even took place, which was a bit irritating since I rearranged my whole day for it and didn't get a formal workout in because of it.  Oh well.  Having a yummy late dinner and watching some Glee, New Girl and Raising Hope made up for it.  I love Tuesday nights.  Anyway, this is what I ate today: 

Breakfast (9 pts)

1/2 c. fat free egg sub scrambled in butter flavor nonstick spray, 2 turkey sausage links, 2 slices Sara Lee Delightful whole wheat toast and Smart Balance Light and two organic skim milk/fat free vanilla caramel lattes with Splenda.

Lunch (9 pts) 

Leftover chicken marsala, roasted garlic mashed potatoes and 1 1/4 c. broccoli lightly cooked in fat free chicken stock. (A shout out to my Tio Jaime for that idea!  He does something like this every year at our Christmas Eve get together, and it's great.)

Snack (1 pts)

Light string cheese

Dinner (17 pts)

Chicken fajitas made with onions, green/red/yellow peppers and mushrooms and topped with light sour cream, homemade salsa, 2 oz avocado slices and eaten with 1 Romero's low carb flour tortilla, 1/2 c. refried beans topped with 1 Tbsp 2% Mexican blend cheese and (not pictured) 1 oz of Baked Tostitos Scoops. 

I used exactly 36 of 36 pts today.  I was tempted to have some of the hubby's dark chocolate he picked up at Trader Joe's this evening, but I resisted since I didn't exercise today. It was hard to watch Glee without munching on dessert, but I made it through by chugging lots of water.  Well, I better get to bed and sleep while I can.  I'm crossing my fingers that baby girl goes back to sleeping through the night soon.  Good night and thanks for reading!
