Day 3

Wednesday, January 12, 2011

Day three has been a good one. I haven't had any weird cravings. I did skip breakfast, which I have declared to be a cardinal sin. Gassin' up the tank in the mornings is a sure-fired way to keep you burnin' calories furiously all day long. At snack time this morning I had a handful of grapes and 3 cheese on wheat crackers. That was a lousy way to start off, but it was only 3 points. I then feasted on my favorite Weight Watchers Smart Ones meal - Chicken Fettucini for 7 points. A few more grapes for a snack this afternoon, and when I got home from school I ate my all-time favorite K Crackers (2 points) and some YUMMY Laughing Cow Lite cheese (French onion - 1 point).

I had to boil eggs for a science experiment this afternoon, so of course I ate one of those LOADED with PEPPER (and salt) just the way I like 'em! 2 points
For supper I had some weird easy-fix Hamburger Helper stuff that we had bought to cook on the campstove during the dreaded ice storm that never happened. It was the worst 8 points I ever ate. With that I had a little bit of corn, a big salad with fat-free ranch, some Lite Wheat Toast with my awesome Promise fat-free spread.

All in all, I have consumed 26 of my 29 points today. I'll probably drink a glass of milk for my last three points, since I haven't had any dairy today. All my planning ahead has really paid off; as long as I don't have to think about what to eat, I can manage. It's only when I get caught off guard without a plan that I slip up and go off on a binge.

My next grocery list is topped with Skinny Cow Ice cream. I just can't live without some ice cream from time to time, and though it has more points on the new Weight Watchers plan, it is some GOOD stuff and worth every point!

Happy Eating!!!!
