Day 177 (Thursday 4/30)

<p>It’s “Friday Eve”!!! Love it!!! :)</p> <p>I didn’t have time to get in a workout this AM, but I did have a few extra minutes to make a nice breakfast. I had a <strong>3 egg white omelet</strong>, with <strong>1 slice</strong> of<strong> ff cheese</strong>, and <strong>1/4c  diced lean ham</strong>, and <strong>strawberries</strong> for <strong>4 points</strong>.  <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXU8OrR_H6IzLQBATEd-bgg7j9Ca-Timuvaj50UDE_WNI364pNNGUL8z2cV5hvhQpqTxEDWzJbMLZFC4HumdOvfq1n6si2xIOUdZWB-4a1FwUj6sm_bT7emjvc-PWqDjKozGLGYR8Vf3Nd/s1600-h/DSC023836.jpg"><img alt="DSC02383" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_wy5w8PUFR1pV836P33ysohdRQ3UctTFWiPrM6J4m6OeXk8CKgze11SOTxET2QSYWSyGb5zJqvv6GWnN0YuYy_JsZw04O9LwhBL76_f4JfaoijpP_G1Sp5VDGeNtICIrUVCBFGmn9oS6F/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02383" width="404"></a> </p> <p>My omelet was great to change things up a bit, but it sure didn’t hold me over too long. By 11am I was sure ready for my morning snack, usually I don’t eat it until 12:30ish. And of course you could guess what I had without even looking at my picture! My favorite combo…<strong>strawberries</strong>, <strong>grape</strong> <strong>nuts</strong>, and <strong>yogurt</strong> for <strong>3 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk4NQxZDQORzX4tsQ3o2WIB0Xgyy3jKJZaVz6SbN2dLewRcLmnN2wkv2poBdWQxfp0F8akqnfUF4t8FvMGMAIqiF46TqaR1Xq1aYMkGo0Imdlpk1A5jhZf83IDwOXJOHVBRKwa3XPLT6u-/s1600-h/DSC023843.jpg"><img alt="DSC02384" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaZ6rXoMhxOkYs0aLxoM9s-EG8laJmUXZeBP_GhuKnUW5tTqK4elQqYiiae1t2As3VBftUJUUl7T76saWqUmMDc4jPPbntJiNtzLsk7k7ymQEbd48vpzWm4-h7DF1JLVsj79MMoEtJ1tcQ/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02384" width="404"></a></p> <p> </p> <p>Lunch today was another “frozen” one. We are SUPER behind at work so I didn’t want to take much time at home. So I heated up my <strong>SmartOne’s dinner</strong> for <strong>6 points</strong> and ate it on the way back instead of taking my usual hour lunch break. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFn2B9YaKtWJHsaKeB_8_fhJkPYPncnT91xyrgV53BxMnfcUIomkr_4fR4RFQCqoStmX4rlFwBo2ClNeBHQKo-Wjm8onft1OFN9hpyjXYFuTq_U0tJwp0iQeBTqG6H8YjO-nroV0HAObdM/s1600-h/DSC023853.jpg"><img alt="DSC02385" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi63wzaYlWing8OXNeqrGwsY786_NgC020wbTh-WyQv5SaCRt1LuoSiaOGRMRnfbS7VQSPSkLtacvmuZ9dXjo2Q_0E7cqkNMODlKJshP26Ko_0W8wZSjDkVoUqnwcdPIy1bxeRDPJ_wdN45/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02385" width="404"></a> </p> <p>Not sure what my deal is…but I had the snack attack today. Throughout the afternoon at work I snacked on a <strong>fiber one bar</strong> and a <strong>smart food popcorn cluster</strong> for <strong>4 points</strong> total. </p> <p>Ok so I bought these SUPER cute new black dress shoes while I was in Florida. (One of the three pairs of black dress shoes I bought while there!) Anyway…today was the first day I wore them to work and by the end of the day I didn’t think they were too cute anymore…in fact I wanted to rip them off my feat and hurl them out the window!!!! Luckily I didn’t, I plan on wearing them to my SIL’s wedding in June. If my feet can take it! My question to all my wonderful bloggies is what can I do to help my poor blistered toes so this doesn’t happen again…is there anyway to make these shoes more comfortable?? I put Band-Aids on mid-day as you can see in the picture, but them they started rubbing on my 2 smallest toes on both feet. :( So if anyone has any “make high heels more comfortable advice”….I am ALL ears!!! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVRguWy_Rl02orCOyBRsaigZsLKGy0aKYSkxpnE4wtYOCCOgoih7-uhqYNkrv0GP7hh3eVBzCu2fClBWCEp2xT8ZEI3D__TMZx8XzF9eTN0W6YmSfO2LCC2DSn449Dw0icXv_zPYW8ZK4x/s1600-h/DSC02389%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02389" border="0" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsyjG2zytVysIB_bZfNbplA0lBlo2uQ-nZWzG4dcwYZG_a6MA-F_fNJXbAWJ6ZxsYFuzpfS9lcAx-hbCZdh1aihxB7z5z0iN89xoJETKsBUXS8_Axxl9_Slzf6mfOMMWWiA96E94WDdx9c/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02389" width="379"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioDC-hQnCJbnsBaWuEH1uKW-aLnAHA-Ytr_GrFV8uGQHbxhAUIvSnfS_g881wOK-GjlzVlszK2GgvhTqrZxm_vpNWy22tjcegOGBuYrzo9i7Dd9zfyy20jByD0_3FXlA2n_BFip2moak-v/s1600-h/DSC02393%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02393" border="0" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUP3nAjFhYand7DWQDYFeoUyjndx7AaUOmLTsvotd1vAJn8F-93qH7XJuURZp5_nLeFbsxWcDBSif0wCv7CRIUEifLgCANMJPS6i_e481GEvoijMFNIGoBlfvfXpoNqOmRyFO8UiPTA8Fh/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02393" width="379"></a></p> <p>Ok back to food!! Sorry for that “detour”! I thing my blog has turned into “my road to weight loss and my daily happenings”! I hope you guys are ok with that!!</p> <p>After tending to my blistered toes I toughed up and hit the pavement for a <strong>run</strong>. Abby joined me today and I quickly wished she would have stayed home. She wanted to stop and sniff every single thing!! I kept having to pull her along. So it was a slow run, but I did my normal route and got done in about <strong>25 minutes</strong> (2.5 miles) so not too bad. I dropped her off back at the house and hopped on the <strong>bike</strong> for a quick <strong>15 minute</strong> <strong>ride</strong> around the neighborhood. I guess I should remember that my legs are about a MILLION times longer than hers! But usually she is practically pulling me along! So note sure why she was lagging…must have been a rough day lazily sleeping around the house! ;) lol</p> <p>Supper tonight was a new try! And it was GREAT!! From what I’ve seen these are called “crack wraps” and I think I can only guess why!!! They are SUPER addicting!! I was reading <a href="http://becomingahotmama.wordpress.com/">Becca’s blog</a> today and came across them and had to try them right away!! You can click <a href="http://becomingahotmama.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/148/">here</a> to get “specific” instructions…but they really aren’t that hard! Just three ingredients, 1 wrap, 1 slice of ff swiss cheese, and 2T hummus. For the record hummus and I don’t go too far back. I tried it over Christmas break at my sister’s house and was NOT impressed at all. But when I saw this on Becca’s post today I thought I would give hummus another try! And I am sure glad that I did. So in total my supper was <strong>5 points</strong> for the “<strong>crack wrap</strong>” and <strong>steamed</strong> <strong>veggies w/cheese</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUmgbq4YXkp5BniXFzruJtNMD99C2GiFHURyMPUX74pq2oDQ2zfIXETdI7n-i0K66kz8o9l3-qCL_5hkjj9MW4P14E6P_5_VQ2IaUba0cwJhsiHgvp2ecouCLYtdR7AkNnENN-feCo9qAe/s1600-h/DSC023943.jpg"><img alt="DSC02394" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSHgct8Iaq6BL8gviY3Jk6tDlGFO_xdNPhUdyt8Qt5ro0Dqhc07h8SkU5T9BBithWbSTwO-8M0nlwKvdG5zuQdVzc93VjsJI-XqyAjyQbvnFowI_vVnopWjRrXhigDh1mx3ot_pfOl_gTF/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02394" width="404"></a> </p> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="800"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="400" align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRNW_LthnAjfXCdXBM9PvTvAUWPtbQijZOxZ3ovUK8uvlpPhoD09lh5tV17HjSjinpOA3JbeDl6gRMKnOYAzyostd027mAq2uyMAKYydYU_ti4RG0_TqJemeHAViFqkgrpSwwT7YbWfSgd/s1600-h/DSC023953.jpg"><img alt="DSC02395" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq3uNOu6oibE4Eij0bkXqtrWdg0NhP4MDtx_lJ8EZvO3EAPC_ehjiZSe21TlQcUtaUkUXyKouxlyLWjTdlk1rAxHx1COI55syDZp7JNCLkoaLfX6h6zcvrhdvzkJnE1ZtK6mY-yTpJdJmN/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02395" width="404"></a>Ok so I had lots of new trys today!! After reading K<a href="http://iowagirleats.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/theres-something-about-smoothies/">ristin’s post today</a> I knew I wanted to FINALLY try out a homemade smoothie. I’ve had ones at Tropical Smoothie, but never made one for myself! My <strong>smoothie</strong> contained a bunch of <strong>strawberries</strong>, <strong>1 banana</strong>, <strong>1 c Almond Breeze</strong>, and a bunch of <strong>ice</strong> for <strong>4 points</strong> total and it made a TON! I tried giving some to DH, but he wasn’t too fond of it so I just sipped away on it all night while doing things around the house…it made 3 glasses total, but I only got pictures of glass #1 and glass #2! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_4p7tlwRIPBlrEpJcsvh61zCdl-TpPHxnOV8soPBbRgEPzyZOqUEZUZDah2TBSfOJvuBtVi4xrEuaCu-a0ch1Ir3U8aova_y8LNZM0nK7e4zxIzgg7mYfx5CXYXgVdvQId0lmtYEV3WUB/s1600-h/DSC023964.jpg"><img alt="DSC02396" border="0" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFM2qmI-fg7ZVlK5AubY-VFqzuURJ_j_7PALN_78G4ZzUN_O1fPo_dpKjCSI_ULByxnSVieN4uMQYvf7PDvdPlI_M742e1CF1ywRKdd_G6wgUjTtfHPZdrYJ79EnXdDmz3B7nG1Y9SMsT0/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02396" width="302"></a></td> <td width="400" align="center"> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p> </p> <p>Besides getting my counter cleaned off I spent the evening going through this GIANT box  that came today! It is from my PartyLite show I had last Monday. I couldn’t believe how much stuff there was! It was kinda fun to get everything all set out and then put everyone’s individual orders together. The last picture is what I got for FREE!!! In total I got 12 candles and 1 diffuser. Can’t wait to burn them and see what I think! They are supposed to burn “clean”…no black stuff on the sides of the jar! I’m super excited about that!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT94_3uHhsSiEfzXc-RnQDR5iWirCHxZXABTBwjFxtgF454qj9hveOHDW4tFl__G6_4pMtUUBElqxkqX3OdAut3Ca9CFbLam5OR01evYAMd8HxQSNc5M1H1bHWqiYB4P-Ib3qYQR-5Mr7E/s1600-h/DSC023983.jpg"><img alt="DSC02398" border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGotWwnssfTfpALTVhhvV2EyHOKf9TdZdIUx81QglHo_r9-WCFmyiZUYJ5SbSIo4V0ZdvGSPJNg38Pgm67HTbCkwLPpksqpEzAeuCzwn0_P9hHaFR3z5EDcYr_cuPGTHxohETXzValG_-h/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02398" width="279"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrybDlUpKASUEaqmgvyr02RgADh-L9fHIUG4UacFozbidqgN1ZEz9uYAUa1L6r2h276U5HpMEQxSIXTzg1Gi1QXDf2DWADrb5OR7xPLrbcSOupJw2koacSM_JJHqm8m9tjF9m_WzRyMQXV/s1600-h/DSC023993.jpg"><img alt="DSC02399" border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglboo4aqcItZT6yqyb4yJOpH7BpjvxDHcLJIcsLYMJpjlvGh7xbLZ1xUIe1faMHb25ngDDuqxEF2xKP-uQ8ISf2u9Y0zVXkWNqB9kQDuTbcboMYP-UB0JFrvtZAbKqqaYZIcrvdERev9WF/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02399" width="279"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCkakRxixmUXyb-SQQd93CFdItjmjwrq73ZviwIcE-VF-2qBOAuPqcClmwmqGGQVDrWYfvZj9i_or-kY_pjSxmuIoBLuApcyQ1d0oX69aU5Tea6gYN06ouK00tQjIVcVVIKg9ZNGMIPxOb/s1600-h/DSC024003.jpg"><img alt="DSC02400" border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkkZr0ESZWjwV9h3c9smh-EyImfoucLMGaIouTb1mFWPES-_9-krEtkTfT1Rv9dwGlvtABKjwdhj3mLV6R1Z6IGYB5OgqgT_CPHhyphenhyphenYXJwI5I59aAV9Pjh1d_w9VsD667L0ZJtyG7CfkZq7/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02400" width="279"></a></p> <p>Well my favorite bloggers it’s almost 10:30 and I’m ready to hit the hay!
