Terrific Thursday

<p>Did you miss my<strong><u> BIG news</u></strong> from Wednesday? If so click <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/07/big-news.html">here</a> to check it out!!</p> <p>I didn’t go to the gym this morning. I planned not to because we didn’t get to bed at a good time. But I did have <strong>oatmeal</strong> for breakfast again, just a different kind. Today I mixed in a <strong>small banana</strong> and <strong>1 T</strong> of <strong>peanut butter</strong> for <strong>5 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAjMq1h0xuQXWruLBMu51jjz_9jXAfR-Ao9EwjcTQnywrWKyeEqubPV986qqs0Lr4H_R-p_kUftLaiQi-GfVAifQZSqf6D_2z5HhCOjBxr3oANI8U2X1xHd3-s9Oc07x8n_BP2U6f4PTHF/s1600-h/DSC07889%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07889" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTS6V4J9f12eE7YqQYT4UAF3llsmwiMHpLyKON-jbSAD_xgK_5r4BxwbWrXYi4HYcKlsdBbTC-QnIPtFAYM9foT3dGRNz1NzaET_I_C__OoBjM_Ky2G0Ed8SjYEuHwuwBKkI2Itt9_H6_z/?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="DSC07889" width="404" /></a></p> <p>Once again my morning flew by. I didn’t have a morning snack till 12:30! I had <strong>1 c</strong> sweet, juicy <strong>watermelon</strong> for <strong>1 point</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrghR-VxaOZlPOvz74wdFEHIWgSZLlxpzYj33Z9-pYYc-IkzUDbSYZS3a_tGKe1YY1LIAYDn56czPWsmm1VLyjlTU3-xA__OORsxhvkPraWc6Gzcrr3TmM8yrt2ZhUSD-OffwKnMQq77tO/s1600-h/DSC07890%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07890" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD7eZQZ8h1Y8WYEXQUPesrqp9E4oqL2WetxCyX2afa9lYEWB8oz75fD9FsNVKOWcYy-5nzsLJ21vKIofHZG7dg83mrNrEc-tuxUDG70Ndd_FWlOVWM0JWJksrwzpdYwpfXbdEd88BcWj34/?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="DSC07890" width="404" /></a></p> <p>Lunch was, yet again, <u>leftovers</u>! Don’t worry though, this is the last of the <strong><a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/07/take-that-week-1.html">fiesta chicken and rice bake</a></strong>!

I left work an hour early to hang out with one of my best friends, <strong>Sara</strong>, and her 16 month old daughter <strong>Emma</strong>. They live about an hour north of me and we don’t get to see each other as often as we’d like. </p> <p>We made a trip to Target so Sara could stock up on some essentials. Emma and I had fun playing with a hula hoop…and she loved my cell phone! Isn’t she just the cutest?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrc7PiOF2vUBhUJsu66Qwey1VeKrsWM8qATIZPOjt88pywvSB1ID8LdhPU4PKVUcStnIUZ_RmmGNIPFOFJy1-hyWQuyw_RvNt4i7yv3pTfw6UDiG1N3XdLWP0r-z8trkdD-5c2PNTfHhf8/s1600-h/DSC07893%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07893" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Q8oLOBOWCmS_TWiOmqdgE5taY-WZ4KnLa5EMqVImHvPsOwWjvY6t8MGzS_8EatmIxQ08pALXbh1Nb7mWy9aJHTnhsuuFF3u11JWqCrOJSiYqK6ldPxTypHRHVHYu_Lml1BtiKW1TP1VV/?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="DSC07893" width="404" /></a></p> <p>After our Target run we came home for some <strong>grub</strong>!

I also had a serving of <strong>reduced fat wheat thins</strong>, <strong>strawberries</strong>, and <strong>watermelon</strong>. I am estimating about <strong>6 points</strong> for what I ate.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuWryDSEKqAsbF92krXdnNatAu08N-y7XF4zKUULIDmTIuBULJS9xo7UMbR6g6f0zLtcGKbrQ57vIZQq6cRyv5HDvi4EY1q2fRBlKg9nBdvS-cCS2-saahdqSugfU8sYDU50ICBEW0JQXv/s1600-h/DSC07903%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07903" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNnV8ZhMTNywgT_at2voPzRinmvlr4Ul5WmgcbbOjIirOKxPlc9O_mlr9TJUtvHBqc8gF7pihZdHaLPzFzPvtysmKirzutjaxWfZ3KQuO-oIMJT36U8UWFzwG1y0qaoR2HR2SjD7CQcztw/?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="DSC07903" width="404" /></a></p> <p>After supper Emma got her jammies on and we got down on the floor to play!
