Crazy day!

Good Evening my friends! :) Today was a wicked busy day at work. I was so busy that I forgot to take a picture of my breakfast and lunch...but I did take a picture of my very yummy dinner!

Today at lunch I walked down to our break room there was something that was cooking in the microwave that smelled so good! I knew that it wasn't anything healthy and I could feel myself gain a pound just smelling it! I don't know how the people that sit near the break room do it. I would be hungry all day long!

I watched the Biggest Loser last night. I am starting to get a little tired of the drill sargent ways of training. When someone hasn't exercised in years or ever to expect them to hop on the treadmill and run for several minutes and then do the stair climber until they pass out or throw up that is just wrong! And for them to lose 29 pounds in one week??? I know that they do nothing but eat and exercise but really?? Maybe it is a longer span of time but they make you think its once a week. It makes me losing 2 pounds look like nothing! LOL

I need to figure out something different to eat for breakfast. I love my yogurt and banana but I don't always feel full for very long after eating it. If anyone has any easy ideas to bring to work feel free to comment:) Here is my food for the day:

BREAKFAST

 

Dannon Strawberry Greek Yogurt = 3 points

Banana = 0 points

 

 

MORNING SNACK

 

Strawberries = 0

 

LUNCH

 

Bread = 2 points

Tuna Salad = 2 points

Lettuce = 0 points

Veggie Straws = 3 points

Baby Carrots & Celery = 0 points

Total Lunch points = 7 points

 

AFTERNOON SNACK

 

90 calorie Quaker granola bar = 3 points

 

DINNER

 

Fried Chicken & Gravy (6 oz chicken) = 8 points

Potato Buds Instant Mashed Potatoes 3/4 cup = 5 points

Green Beans = 0 points

Milk = 4 points

Total Dinner points = 17 points

 

EVENING SNACK

 

 

Bag of Popcorn = 3 points

 

Total points for the day = 33 points!

 

I miscalculated the points for the day...now I am 7 under:( Oh well...I will do better tomorrow.

 

This dinner is one of my favorite dinners I make. It is from the Better Homes & Gardens "New Dieters Cookbook". I put a link under My Favorite Recipes that will take you to the recipe. I also made the Beef and Bean burritos last night out of this cookbook but I couldn't find the recipe online. If you can find this book GET IT! There are so many good recipes and they are reasonable in points. The points above for the chicken dinner were a little higher was because the chicken was 6 instead of 5 ounces.

 

I am going to go and watch some TV and chill out before going to bed. Have a wonderful night!
