Day 181 (Monday 5/4)

<p>First off, sorry I didn’t get this posted last night!! We had a busy one!! :) I hope everyone had a great Monday!</p> <p align="center">I started out my Monday with <strong>honey nut cheerios</strong>, a <strong>small sliced banana</strong>, and <strong>1/2 c almond breeze</strong> for <strong>4 points</strong>. I think this is one of my favorite breakfasts’!</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXZx2cWCidGJDgwB5mfZiku2OOIrwvZBnI6uZWQmYT-FuYIBZao3b2JodlVtVOuyPKW0p75L1_E7UoQJjBVGbNxFP9IErOPGk4TsIj8vmK5BMMVgaFN2IKgHu0eKt6eTR5DX45p3Q92XRq/s1600-h/DSC02454%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02454" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5HtweeExkSF8hM_rKXxWq3YzgmC0ofcVmRl5EBLrjG00tjEb64Bi2_GW8PUqi72WgreqRKk2Xrj4EIbGC8XfklFd94DII6J-7mbKwAB1XrJ_ypIyLYwjxPpO-2tpVb01OsZ6rta2IkXlT/?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="DSC02454" width="400"></a></p> <p>Work has just been SO crazy lately!! But it sure does make the days go fast. Before I knew it, it was noon and I hadn’t had my morning snack. So I quickly mixed up my favorite combo of <strong>strawberries</strong>, <strong>yogurt</strong>, and <strong>grape</strong> <strong>nuts</strong> for <strong>3 points</strong>. </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgupzOTeBkHTHq6CUQhhVR_KOfcF00ny31K5VSwrbciD_rX9AJwR4uraD8ZBNWmN581f1_8N-KNGnbDtkeB7l5PN-71V8mxORgPJKKU35NazO_xd96mH5uwIGCV9sNh9BBiF_Yx3XrHFZFe/s1600-h/DSC02455%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02455" border="0" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHI0ltjqsDXtux1JMpu-xBCVGd5-gHs1V9yl6mgI4h_gH2GdLajk1Lmh0QbVKEnLRunCNZCO01Bv2nbhjYcvFZ9QQh0wJaXIEF1RzipQNfq6iqN0_V4TDBEX2DACTb5pCJJOE7W9djrYob/?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="DSC02455" width="504"></a></p> <p>I started out my lunch on the car ride home with a bag of <strong>petite</strong> <strong>baby carrots</strong> for <strong>0 points</strong>…this is my FAVORITE form of carrots!!<img alt="DSC02456" border="0" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifeEFPPjQIQZoxR6yOxtJoYIpvOROW2w3sZGyalimY6nfYVN4gZ3-kYMCWrIc5Fbwr_4Sg1l6yu_JL7iFi748YA2s_Aly55-F_2PrDSAxRxpkftz0p1hE4Qkd8B6Gww5jM7BsoErxxeSTe/?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="DSC02456" width="244"> They’re just so skinny and crunchy!! :) Then, once home, I made a<strong> hot ham & cheese wrap</strong> with a side of<strong> 1/2c corn</strong> for a <strong>3 point</strong> lunch</p> <p>I didn’t go to lunch until about 1:45 so getting back to the office at almost 3 is great!! Really makes the afternoon go fast!! :) I snacked on a <strong>fiber one bar</strong> before heading home for <strong>2 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE2V4jVNmzLpkasvtIaM2RnYeY8DCD61FEpkv_UOqreIN6cJnvUYNChJJn_xVegCyb8icuJFM194qOWtc0mBwe9P8AaFRJrMkLNATu9DqlOAhrPpmtsqyQ8lF5dMczUOE5F4I1TyOd71_C/s1600-h/DSC02458%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02458" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMDeMbfKPuFb01deMjdLrNHVkHYGPU4XQ3htohBSjkQEXRaKh3MhV3wHFo0tONZVdpEGGGHoR4g3XNW4SqBVnOrSMO9jXtxBe60IhRA-c44CWVfwxk2AKmYmsgPdG8P9aUWaH7hJwkTwfm/?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="DSC02458" width="404"></a> </p> <p>Once home DH and I had to talk ourselves into going for a <strong>run</strong>. I had a splitting headache for some reason, but we did it. Not for long though. Pounding the pavement and a pounding head are <strong>NOT</strong> a good combo. So we cut it short around mile 2, wasn’t quite a <strong>20 minute walk/run</strong>. Before we headed out the door I snacked on a bag of <strong>smart food popcorn</strong> for <strong>2 points</strong>. </p> <p>When we got back home our neighbor was out so we went over and chatted with him…which ended up being a REALLY long chat. We didn’t get back in the house till almost 9!!! Those guys can sure get to talking! But it’s ok, we like our neighbor!! :)</p> <p>I picked some of his rhubarb and when I got in the house I got the itch to make the strawberry rhubarb pie I had been thinking about!! So that is just what I did! And of course I had to sample it too!! I put the ingredients into recipe builder on ww’s website and it came out to <strong>8 points</strong> for an 1/8 of it! Wow!! It didn’t quite turn out right. It called for 2 cups of sugar and that made it WAY too runny. I think I might try it again and cut that in half.</p> <p>Maybe I’ll try to lighten it up a bit…any suggestions?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRgyDKTLlpq155HEe_v3gIYEhP_8KYUw4t3PVZY3M1aX7vtXNlufpUIRaeKFmwhlQnJ30_XAkXexuv7LK34oxToGEHz0fFHesjzd_s9ydCzuQgyfQKDGY6yoNQA-hYYVwKUOQXniORXpr1/s1600-h/DSC02459%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02459" border="0" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUXftH-SQpEspXHJqEPiEIH0zVc4i4_Ypp0hDuuIzKYBzctxyiwXpr8Pw_J6oJ6yCKj-B6bllSuQvd-hEJG8nZVJ6MglMZWQsThJZHQyFQ53hZMKS3K-WfIFNMofI5-3Y25NuWcyDlOj6x/?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="DSC02459" width="504"></a></p> <p>Rewind a tad, forgot about all the stuff I ate while the pie was baking!! I had a bowl of <strong>honey</strong> <strong>nut</strong> <strong>cheerios</strong> and a <strong>sliced banana</strong> for <strong>7 points</strong>. And DH and I each had the rest of that <strong>chocolate ice cream</strong> that was calling our name in the freezer, I had <strong>1 c</strong> of it with another <strong>sliced</strong> <strong>banana</strong> for <strong>7 points</strong>. If you haven’t noticed, I think I am really starting to like adding bananas to <strong>EVERYTHING</strong>!</p> <p>Oh and I forgot about the <strong>banana</strong> (<strong>1 point</strong>…it was small!) that I ate on the way to the grocery store to pick up a ready made pie crust…yes I used a ready-made one…didn’t want to undertake pie crust at 9pm!!! </p> <p>It’s Tuesday now and I’m SO nervous about WI 2nite after eating a sugar filled slice of pie and ice cream last night!! Wow-zer…but hey can’t do anything about it now and I can’t let it get to me. I’ll work it off this week!! :) </p> <p>Later bloggies…gotta get back to work!! ;)</p> <p><strong>MONDAY’S STATS</strong></p> <p>POINTS = 37/23</p> <p>WEEKLY ALLOWANCE = 34 used/1 remaining</p> <p>WATER = 96 oz</p> <p>EXERCISE = 20 min run/walk</p>
