Wednesday 11-16-11

Today was a busy day of errand running, and I also got in a work out while the kids napped.  (They napped at that same time again, woo-hoo!)  It was a relaxed evening.  I got to watch a Netflix dvd with the hubby after dinner, "I Love You Man."  Loved it.  If baby girl cooperates and sleeps all through the night I am hoping to get an early morning workout in tomorrow.  We have a 12 o'clock appointment for her to have her iron levels checked, since we put it off due to illness. In other news, I can't believe Thanksgiving is in eight more days.  How did that happen?!  We still have a lot to do before our trip.  I'm a little stressed about it.  Anyway, back to the topic.  This is what I ate today:

Breakfast (10 pts)

Avocado-bacon-reduced fat pepper jack egg white omelet with salsa and light sour cream and two organic skim milk/sugar free hazelnut lattes with Splenda.

Lunch (7 pts) 

Baby spinach salad with honey roasted butternut squash, pumpkin seeds, dried cherries, gorgonzola cheese and homemade honey dijon vinaigrette. (Recipe by the brilliant Gina of SkinnyTaste.com.) 

Pre-workout Snack (1 pt)

Small banana and a light string cheese

Dinner (14 pts)

Moroccan-spiced apricot chicken with couscous and 1/2 serving of Trader Joe's tandoori garlic naan sprayed with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray.

Dessert (7 pts)

6 oz container fat free vanilla Chobani yogurt + 2 Tbsp homemade pumpkin butter + 1/2 oz chopped pecans

I used 3 weekly points so that I could top my yogurt dessert with nuts, but again I don't mind using extra points on days I have a hard work out.  I used 39 points of 36 but I'm still in great shape for the weekend, points-wise.  Well, I better get back to my poor teething daughter.  Have a great night all and thanks again for reading!
