Day 132 (Monday 3/16)

<p>I’m so close to Florida I can almost feel it! And this nice weather we are having here in Iowa is a great preview of what I hope to experience the week I am in Florida! Look at what my car temp said around 5pm yesterday:</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIp5Q1j1JGmXqg6-_WXKS2eF3MtaTDBxs9tBxGhANFtl_A5bCptRaY3JmTtFzqyUsjGhjmxnhNcqA4T4xsyvYsrNQYa6nTUXM-UK-9qdWxh-6Q9-lc-LMj-jhRmq-WGhKVtzXFzjqONJf0/s1600-h/DSC020835.jpg"><img alt="DSC02083" border="0" height="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9hRfpRH0DOjVfinNIsaJrj4VQ_QXECr97iVczbIM4lumoxx76dnr10pR1k_fXbjayv9PsI0Vj2MMbkyMLZCP2J1AU9b_QyykF7OrkKXXuQcgeQibOtBDPwR7KXageLt-05Y79YiBG9_MH/?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="DSC02083" width="451" /></a> </p> <p>Yep 71 degrees!! It was a great!</p> <p>I hit the gym before work for a <strong>32 minute run</strong>. While I was running I was wondering how in the world I am going to make it outside in the Florida heat! We’ll see how it goes! I hope to get in some form of exercise each day when I’m gone!</p> <p>Spring break has already started for students on campus so it was really quite at work today…which was nice!</p> <p>For breakfast I had <strong>oatmeal</strong> with <strong>blueberries</strong> and a <strong>sliced apple</strong> for <strong>3 points</strong>. Looks like I waited too long to eat/photograph my apple…it was starting to turn brown! But don’t worry I ate it anyway! :)</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjcd6-_cBn-p9YwqQj1oZaefWLrTl7TsNu-dvnxEldGKXxhV_pdSfIVvplRzxaxrq5lEX0SlJQIbcTd8EjadDRFbXaIndHF887OGyiAKWFcitTjc6fmHcZjUMBt5nhzbAGk3AVRFXJAtP7/s1600-h/DSC020783.jpg"><img alt="DSC02078" border="0" height="342" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-yiUIZCDv_z0pln18GXtTxqUAdruRYfJtQbd5SY3t3duXLVQqOUghcqbQnbqYJfxVyFkazyOj4ttzqPm026i79HC8RJtV81nGsWGIoGl-pNyOPIxliMn0Hrqq9fqq7_5HW1NKPl4geE-k/?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="DSC02078" width="450" /></a></p> <p>Late morning I had a<strong> WW yogurt</strong> with <strong>1/4 grape nuts</strong> for <strong>2 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq_XVfEe_3ImdxxlclIqpdXCwcxH2I-rVjFMI_5aGXtXyeixpZw6pfZfrTnnWyGpeHM-Pvm1ggPIH8YOfA_Q5d2k9jrEV73OFNRqz_V0pWqzr5CmhOpPi5REuivfV1seuvER5BB7naor06/s1600-h/DSC020794.jpg"><img alt="DSC02079" border="0" height="339" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinVqZn6KzDHFdNkqfUSnScRUam4tEltetMhWmuYiqrXhojU4WYE_7ClCVE6RzpaAEleJ5ZTemLZS_rGuHpbz75TvIHnvQuSghhm7IM4ZNIE9ycVGYsJdy4zyT4fGG7cYSE5vO29Bv1GLEa/?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="DSC02079" width="444" /></a></p> <p>Lunch today was great! On Friday I bought “Flat Out” wraps because they are over $2 cheaper than the wraps I was buying before and you get 2 more in the package. So I was excited to try it out today and they are very good. So I had a <strong>ham turkey & cheese wrap</strong>, <strong>1/2 c cottage cheese</strong>, and a <strong>sliced banana</strong> for <strong>7 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglxS3Roo8i8LK49-aygVeeJUj6-g_VS1-cgx5N1N0wC8X9eD3OvOVe5nR_F6Vqf5hwGmOHpyFE5t7OSCvLsd_-CtHqZwV1EqDVASGmLmv2KYcSeEVxMtWARpRuUBh4OrO9kLuWagSf5TyU/s1600-h/DSC020814.jpg"><img alt="DSC02081" border="0" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrlkL_lhLECzT7xxQAna9hAGRcmLIPyKn1VV0INsv6agnT_p2CXMyk2X0fwrMR3HEQIq_174GPxc1u2v82biCe-D2HkLWafdH7tLFQ8hIYpBwlH1KHTS5BVU3ElR4Vvce8tXs2i-S_dMe_/?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="DSC02081" width="440" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://happytexans.blogspot.com/">Kelly</a> had asked what kind of tortillas I used so I had to take a picture of the package because to be honest I had no idea! They are the whole wheat Lo Tortilla Factory tortillas. They come out to only one point. But I think I am officially converted to flat outs now that I found them…more bang for your buck!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT5pjEeCtzKiVwx-XN0WW68nRq6NXaU99B-8csx4h8BL6MY0gaRnKL4Ws3-2KWzBC8pF0pwFXXHL5Ck89a2NI2ImjyXZIvtIs7xviTVrvLbiGEEKS-Gc0UL_Spx6hro6mTn1U9MVsHJnqk/s1600-h/DSC020803.jpg"><img alt="DSC02080" border="0" height="331" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEHWzeJKSuiuuv1N3KJ767seeQOBI4g3AS07kXSjvzm1GpljkTgqgub2Hbevf7vmUkNbwp62Iwrc609NZ9MU2Wi2fOgaHTkp8iB1Tgvh1pesZKgdgtht-0cYwafeK0iL_GNrAZpt5rh4DO/?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="DSC02080" width="436" /></a> </p> <p>After work I rushed over to my favorite nail place to get a fill and a pedicure. It always feels so good to get pampered!! I love all the stuff to they do your feet to make them feel so nice and soft! I’ve been addicted to pedicures since I got my first one for my wedding almost 4 years ago! :)</p> <p>When I got home I was starving and supper wasn’t going to be ready for over a half an hour. So I tried one of the <strong>protein bars</strong> I purchased last week. It was just ok. If they go on sale I might try them again. But nothing to toot my horn about! This one was <strong>3 points.</strong> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2stRzwqRvihpTtIEjZav25Al0_K0tCXA_9NKXiqPNq71mJOpv-GbX1rb1TFs1nFtDol3l6TZFs2oPD6-oWOeD6bidQ3f9WUJDpZV9-01i8jTOYDUHBnijLFVwWblIpyYqVaGS5fKO4KE8/s1600-h/DSC020843.jpg"><img alt="DSC02084" border="0" height="331" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI6dmkkFx_9geIT3NMyhA6visVkkVZl-94LuywAzjFnkBpxOVSV4UQJw67IF06pY6A9_V58E4EXEbQDn3zOBRrX5i2NXm2T7WrLY5UTrFETG-t4DQYGib1S7CdGr56Fe9PI3KPr7jVcC1N/?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="DSC02084" width="435" /></a> </p> <p>Supper tonight was an easy favorite. <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2009/02/day-112-monday-223_24.html"><strong>Creamy ham & potato bake</strong></a> for <strong>5 points</strong>. You can click on the link if you would like the recipe. It is really easy and very yummy! And you get a lot for only 4 points!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH_8G9dSlUibk0-f4Q0Kk9B_wUFKklmv9TAl2OpEyIFxRpvWGyTanTeAy5ItBebLSqdQjb5DiUZojF4bx9RzOlweXeVkaNobltd5xOvQFiGqwIdR6QT24Wdt-yNzurBW3O0DMdn1gdXbwb/s1600-h/DSC020854.jpg"><img alt="DSC02085" border="0" height="332" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyTfN_PgZCtG-L4JAuwheitazE6a0LdZFmLZW0-ywoDGE3nZmQEJGlRGRvZrdB6e-DWH_X3J_3n4G5BSS3BMLNi6AtpkpIMMDDKKM4-eItgrtwaV02Os5LCyKbkUzpBAz9vywcr8XU3oO2/?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="DSC02085" width="434" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://karitakingbackcontrol.blogspot.com/">Kari</a> had a question for me that I keep forgetting to answer:</p> <dd> <p><em>“Just out of curiosity because I look at your food pics every day and I just started wondering....do you and the husband eat dinners together? Does he eat what you eat?”</em></p> </dd><dd> <p> <br />There really isn’t a simple answer for this question. It really varies for us. My husband runs a fast food restaurant so his hours are quite odd. So if he isn’t going to be home for supper I usually just make something quick for myself. But if he is home we usually eat together. But he doesn’t always eat what I eat. He isn’t a big fan of wraps, broccoli, cauliflower….so I will make some other kind of variation for him. I know this is a challenge for a lot of people…trying to cook healthy and something everyone likes. Especially if you have kids. That is why I like to find recipes like I made tonight that we both like and is ww friendly. Hope that answers your question Kari!</p> <p>For desert tonight I grabbed my new favorite ice cream treat, a s<strong>kinny cow strawberry shortcake ice cream sandwich</strong> for <strong>2 points</strong>. Mmmm!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiqa9x2bncuk0icGpIlPNnk3mnZp1GlIgES0P1hHcSkaHPXZZhhktO8jPKdPO3e8OqzqZuPKL0QaBsL0FmbuMSdjSDbWruTkK70df1ygVFN3Adbdj7bIeh5F4EFMAFzfmF1jXPYzADiHre/s1600-h/DSC020877.jpg"><img alt="DSC02087" border="0" height="339" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4C1tnxSk-vRHYsQnyO8ZT2qUoOYkLRA-RM2ZLbgHCGBLt46dKYI9gNVB02aW0Ao-F4kIitpKSstfFsAzucVCXTLSJfCBoONBy5swOPq24L4BNwRTIBzYtZLFD5dC13h6kCI1-qwFFC_nb/?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="DSC02087" width="437" /></a></p> <p>Well everyone I am down to just one day of work left…1/2 of today (Tuesday) & 1/2 of tomorrow! And then I’m on my way to sunny Florida! Can’t wait to have the fab 4 sisters reunited and see my Grandpa. Oh and I probably won’t be able to blog while I’m gone. My Grandpa doesn’t have an internet connection. So I will have just one more post.</p> </dd> <p><strong>MONDAY’S STATS</strong></p> <p>POINTS = 22/23</p> <p>WATER = 116 oz</p> <p>EXERCISE = 32 min run</p>
