Pretty Darn Good Day ;D

This day was pretty darn good. I am quite pleased :) The Cheez-it's were actually eaten pretty late, after my weigh in, so I guess it's the Brunch of Champions ;) My lunch was eaten late too, along with a HUGE diet Coke, on my way to school registration for the elementary school. Funny looking breakfast and lunch, I know, but hey, it happens :) Now for the mint brownies. With regular brownies, they would have been 10 points, but using the black bean version, they ended up only being 5 :) There were SO big and tasty!!! It's not a low point treat, but it is a GREAT lower point substitute for one of my very favorite treats :) My husband HATES mint, so a night when he is working late is the perfect night to make them. I made them in the first place because we brought dinner to our neighbor who just had a baby. Taco salad and mint brownies! The dinner of champions!!! I took everything to her in disposable dished and baggies so she would not have to do the dishes and return them. I even brought disposable dinnerware. It was not very "green," but hopefully it will save her some time and sanity ;) I think I used disposable dishes for 2 years after my 4th child was born ;)

Good Week!!! :D

I had my weekly weigh-in and it went GREAT! I was down 1.6 lbs :) YIPEE!!! This week, I ate only 25% of my activity points :) This was a VERY good week :) So, the goals for this week, is more of the same. I really want to try to only use my WPA and leave my activity points alone. I am only going to eat 1/2 of my carton on Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia Light on Friday night and the other half on Saturday night. Actually, I am going to have to plan that a bit differently, We have swim team league finals Friday night and I need to make a plan to survive the 5-6 hour event. Hmmm... I'd better get to that right now.
Have a GREAT weekend! I am off to plan my weekend :)

Simply Filling Day :)

Today went really well. I am VERY happy. I have been really trying hard to focus on the Filling Foods and BOY HAS THAT KEPT ME FULL!!! I was eating all day long to get all of the points in with ALL that food! My tummy feels GREAT!
