Little Victories

Volume 2, Day 10

Today was GREAT! I had a little improvising to do. It snowed. The gym at 6 am was a no-go. In fact, I'll admit to sleeping in a little, it was awesome. It also turns out that I'm totally out of protein powder. Instead of throwing in the towel and just doing "whatever", I improvised accordingly.

Meal 1: Frosted Mini Wheats with Skim Milk - I should have looked at the serving size before I filled my bowl. This meal ended up costing me 9 points.
Meal 2: Tuna Salad in a Pita with 1/2 serving of pretzel sticks, 1/2 apple, 1/2 tangerine = 6 points
Meal 3: Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Yogurt topped with 6 chopped almonds = 3 points
Meal 4:  three cups of popped popcorn = 3 points
Meal 5: Post workout snack = Banana
Meal 6: Roast Chicken with Vegetables (not consumed yet) =  8 points

Exercise was improvised too. My hubby came with me. We did Chest and Shoulders tonight. My arms are like Jelly. YAY!
Activity Points Earned: 3 points

Total Points: 29 points. Less 3 activity points = 26. Daily budget = 35. Surplus = 9
This gives me room to enjoy Dessert if I choose. 

Tomorrow's Exercise: 30 minutes Elliptical = 3 activity points

Tomorrow's Meal plan is as follows:
Meal 1: Oatmeal with Craisins and Walnuts = 7 points
Meal 2: Yogurt and a tangerine = 2 points
Meal 3: Leftover Chicken and Potatoes = 8 points 
Meal 4: Carrots and Hummus and an Apple = 2 points
Meal 5: Spaghetti with Meat Sauce = 8 points
Meal 6: WW Key Lime Pie = 5 points

Total Points: 34. Less Activity Points  3 = 31. Daily Budget 35. Surplus = 4 points.
NOTE: It's ok to eat all of my points in one day. I even have a weekly points plus allowance of 49. I used 19 of them on Saturday thanks to some Jets Pizza. But, I still have 30 to get me through Friday.

I'm off to enjoy my roasted chicken.

Cheers!
