A Menu from Frances

Tuesday, January 5, 2010

Well, I've got 2 days' worth of menus under my belt (literally), and I'm feeling really good about this thing. I was satisfied all day due to between-meal snacks. Here's what I've been eating:

MONDAY:
Breakfast: Ham & Cheese Omelet (made with lean ham, green onions 2 % cheese, and half real egg/half egg substitute using only cooking oil spray in my omelet pan) - 3 points
White Wheat toast with Promise Fat Free spread (tastes like real butter - YUM) - 1 point
1/2 cup milk - 1 point
Snack: 7 pretzels - 1 point
Lunch: Michaelina's Lite Pepper Steak & Green Giant single serve corn/peas - about 6 points
Snack: medium orange (straight from Uncle Wallace's tree in Florida - YUM!) - 1 point
Supper: Chipoltle BBQ snack wrap from McDonald's because I hadn't been to the grocery store and had no other choice in the house - 8 points
1/2 a baked potato with Promise Fat Free spread - 1 point
Snack: Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwich (FAVORITE!!!) - 2 points
I got my 6 glasses of water, my multi-vitamin/mineral supplement, and my fiber supplement
TOTAL POINTS: 24 (Oops! Went over by 2. I would have eaten a lighter breakfast if I had known I was going to have to eat that snack wrap.)

TUESDAY:
Breakfast: 3/4 cup Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds cereal with 1/2 cup milk - 3 points
Snack: 17 Special K Crackers (Multi-Grain - YUM!!) and lite string cheese - 3 points
Lunch: DiGiorno's new 200 calorie chicken pizza - 5 points
Weight Watcher's Yogurt (1/2 a container) - 1 point
Snack: A miniature Reese's cup thingy I found in my briefcase this afternoon - 2 points
Supper: 3 oz. cajun seasoned grilled chicken (3), 4 grilled shrimp (1), 1/3 cup instant mashed potatoes (2), 1/3 cup green lima beans prepared with turkey bacon (1), 1 cup grilled vegetables (squash, red onion, bell pepper) - 0 points
TOTAL POINTS: 21 points - I have one point left. Maybe I'll eat half of a Skinny Cow later if I feel like it. I am stuffed to the gills right now.
I got 8 waters, my vitamin and fiber supplements.

Now, I need to get in some kind of exercise today, as I've been mostly on the computer doing volunteer work for the school all day today. It's too cold to walk the dog. Maybe I'll play Dance, Dance Revolution with Madison after my food settles.

How is everybody else doing? What have you been eating???
