Tuesday 4-18-12

Hello there.  Sorry for the day-late post.  Yesterday was an off day for me.  I barely slept the night before because my 18 month old was waking up frequently like she was a newborn.  I felt like a zombie all day yesterday.  I still went to the gym but struggled through the entire workout.  I was physically and mentally exhausted.  I still didn't make the grocery store.  And dinner came from the sub-zero freezer, chicken tortilla soup I made a couple weeks ago and froze for such an occasion.  I listened to my body and relaxed the rest of the day.  We watched "The Hunger Games" and then later watched some Tuesday night tv.  Here is what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast (9 pts)

Breakfast sandwich with egg whites, 2% American cheese, Sara Lee Delightful whole wheat toast and 2 oz of ham, and 2 skim milk/fat free hazelnut lattes with Splenda. 

Snack (5 pts)

Big organic fuji apple with 2 Tbsp natural peanut butter

Lunch (15 pts)

Huge chicken club salad with 3 c. lettuces, grape tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onions, shredded carrots, grilled chicken breast, crumbled bacon, 1/2 oz bacon ranch dressing and croutons. 

Dinner (10 pts)

Large bowl of chicken tortilla soup loaded with veggies, 2 oz avocado slices, reduced fat pepper jack cheese, cilantro, lime  and 1 oz of regular tortilla chips broken on top.

Snack (2 pts)

Celery sticks with ranch dip made with 2 Tbsp light sour cream

I dipped into weekly points, unfortunately, so I need to try to behave the rest of the week so I have some left for the weekend.  Weekends are usually a challenge for me.  I ate 40 pts of 33 yesterday.  I'm trying not to dwell. I felt hungry fir those extra points and that's what they're there for.  Thanks for reading!
