Meals for 9/25/09

Hello everyone...its been a busy morning...I got up early this morning and went to Hannaford to pick up some bread and some Zone bars...and then tried out a Market that I saw an ad for thinking it might be a farmers type market with lots of produce. It was called Roxies. It was nice but I was a little disappointed in the amount of produce...they had really good prices on meat..I got a 2 1/2 pound pork roast for dinner on Sunday for $5.50....so I got some potatoes and zucchini to go with it:)

Then I stopped on the way home at the Wollaston Beach and walked 1.2 miles on the boardwalk...it was super windy but it was such a beautiful day! I am going to blog about it on my other blog so feel free to check it out:)

For breakfast this morning I just grabbed a Cashew Cookie Lara Bar. I didn't realize it was 5 points until after I ate it...oh well it gave me energy...

Cashew Cookie LaraBar = 5 points

Sorry I didn't get a picture but I was in a rush to get my errands and exercise done...catch you later for lunch!

Hello friends!! While at Roxies I bought some Tortilla's that are super high in fiber and has flax, wheat and oats...it was actually REALLY good and they are 1 point! I haven't really made my own wraps before but I decided to come up with a yummy wrap...I remember having a BBQ ranch salad at a restaurant a while back and really loved the taste of the dressing so I bought some Fat Free Ranch dressing and some BBQ sauce and made my own sauce for the wrap. I took 1 Tbsp BBQ sauce (1/2 of the serving) and 2 Tbsp of the FF ranch dressing and mixed it up...spread about a tablespoon of this sauce on the tortilla, added some shredded carrots, 1 serving of the chicken strips and about 3 Tbsp of reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese...BAM! It was the best wrap I have had in a long time! And according to the recipe builder on WW it was all only 6 points! And it really filled me up! Here is a picture of it open and then closed with my side of baby carrots. Topped it all off with a Berry Parfait and it was a very yummy lunch!!

BBQ Chicken Wrap = 6 points

Carrots = 0 points

Berry Parfait = 2 points

Total points for Lunch = 8 points

Your probably wondering why I am eating low points today...well my husband and I are going to go out to dinner tonight...we haven't been out to eat for a while and thought it would be nice to get out of the house...and we have to take his suits to be dry cleaned:) I have 17 points left for the day and 34.5 flex points left over...don't get me wrong..I am going to be good and with the exercise I did this morning I think I deserve a night out with my hubby:) Catch me later and see what I had...:)

Well....we ended up going to LaPaloma Mexican Restaurant. We were both craving it since we haven't been there in a while. I am not sure how many points to count my dinner at so I am just going to count the remaining 17 for the day on my dinner...I had Chicken over onions, green peppers and rice and 2 tortilla's...I didn't eat much of the rice but I ate both tortillas. It was very good and I am very happy now that I exercised so much this morning...the nice thing is I left satisfied but not stuffed and uncomfortable!

LaPaloma dinner = 17 points

TOTAL POINTS USED FOR THE DAY = 30!

TOTAL ACTIVITY POINTS EARNED FOR THE DAY = 5!

Looking forward to a nice relaxing evening with the hubby...catching up on some things on the DVR. Catch y'all later!
