Catching Up!

One of those things included making a quick errand to my Dad’s house, but not without first stopping at my favorite home town place to get ice cream! ;)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtQVVQsF8KY1kfH9lBHHJw_GaGzth8v1-5x0f8dRRfiP81MB74Rfmsw62LkHfyukP9HSojgTSe85YYiN2_9PtrR98s59fWqy5K_zmSu6IYg2ucYa-ATaqemJf4RSeMTI-JYa4etG5UI2fq/s1600-h/DSC08064%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC08064" border="0" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH8c9gNaako6KwYY-7gArn89BUbcd0OwiPq8Q-9ScKz7qOHHicj0ec0PzwWC2u9oypYe2Y3i40coKo5_DnOLhaidC59ZTKmX7cjGExCyiwymEGNTaOLA_bwOC3hNAktfhKmQ_kZgkJHv8U/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC08064" width="304" /></a></p> <p>All three of those day, <em>I’m proud to say</em>, I was right on track with my points! I didn’t get workouts in on Monday or Tuesday, but I did manage a <strong>4 mile run</strong> on Wednesday!</p> <p>So now that you’re caught up, here is a recap of Thursday!</p> <p>I started out my day with my <u>favorite breakfast combo</u>, <strong>oatmeal</strong>,<strong> 1 T peanut butter</strong>, and a <strong>small sliced banana</strong> for <strong>4 points</strong>. <a><img alt="DSC08067" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPhL7UnWR1q0u77kzcJNr8JQzUT3WP_wq-yuzUPDVd6i8bedL3w9vDtSM4hkfvcBSTMGyKODlfIHg0UzbcrX2EUUjmcfqt-li_Q0ud_lHN6MfXJ6mOqfxXSy3SIWlQi1qB2jC7lgKXuFEF/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC08067" width="404" /></a></p> <p>I only put in a half day at work, but it was  <strong><u>BUSY</u></strong> one!

I needed something quick and point friendly! I had a<strong> turkey & ham</strong> on <strong>wheat</strong> for <strong>6 points</strong>. <a><img alt="DSC08068" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4LJ4qjZVEc6SCqVMJO8gOdnSoYiefVVLQXF5iSTHR3enT9n6FHQdcCu-qa-Ut2oPpRf36jTdV6kmOmbrrxXfq67kAM7u3-eiuJLdsFQ47ermCB8Cih5pV0-_ZkK6WG73XEbrshO9GXrPE/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC08068" width="404" /></a></p> <p>Check out  my cute lunch date, my lil sis, Wendi!
