Thursday 1-12-12

Hi guys!  The kids had another fun day with friends (shout out to my March Mama Shannon!)  I took them to Kidsville and we were there for over 3 1/2 hours.  Then we came home and the 2 year old did not nap.  I don't know where his energy comes from.  I'm exhausted.  No nap also meant no formal exercise for me, though I'm sure I burned a ton of calories today.  I have been dragging hardcore since about 3 o'clock, and this low energy state has me craving very bad things.  I have been fighting urges all day, ugh.  I gave in and ended up using some weeklies after dinner, but it could have been worse.  I used 36 pts today, which was actually my points target before the Points Plus 2012 version of WW came out.  Not too bad I guess.  Now I am chugging water so I'm way too full to even think about consuming more carbs, my weakness.  This is what I ate today:

Breakfast (7 pts) 

Egg white omelet with onions, peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, reduced fat pepper jack cheese, homemade salsa, 2 slices of Oscar Mayer center cut bacon and two organic skim milk/hazelnut lattes with Splenda. 

Snack (1 pt)

1 light string cheese and 2 clementine cuties

Lunch (10 pts)

Leftover slow cooker turmeric braised chicken in yogurt sauce over brown basmati rice

Dinner (13 pts)

Crispy baked chicken (made with hubby's grandma's delicious "fire crackers" as coating), 1/2 c. Stove Top reduced sodium chicken stuffing and steamed broccoli with 2% shredded cheddar.

Dessert (5 pts)

A Trader Joe's Reduced Guilt brownie topped with 3 Hershey's Candy Cane kisses (melted) and a tiny sprinkle of crushed candy cane. I was feeling nostalgic for Christmas. ;) 

I had 36 of 33 pts today.  3 weeklies. I need some sleep. Good night all!
