Day 196 (Tuesday 5/19)

<p>Back to the real world today! I was so sad to see my lil sis leave last night, but I know she will have a great summer and hopefully be back in August for a wedding. </p> <p>I just have to say thanks to those of you who let me know which dress you like the best!! dress #1 won and dress #2 was a close 2nd!! I think now I will get my jewelry together for each one and then decide between the two!!</p> <p>I slept in with DH this AM and didn't get a workout in, but the extra ZZZ's were nice! </p> <p>For breakfast I had <strong>1 c cantaloupe</strong> and <strong>yogurt</strong> with <strong>grape nuts</strong> for <strong>3 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr2ifv9wafvy-6O7myNmbhHKrTdTqi1BlrmcqUD92iGxzALMDC-89zp0G1BDHu2CZUlVPMb_AdAq99i9x6-cwx4Kpu4deNuthrJ0fwJrGOGq11c3nDE3o5UFItho9bkMqI6avg_z53kowc/s1600-h/DSC02664%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02664" border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh48dfddEl7T6G1tcZlO2CtP191FQyB9TYeFlKkBzTrxrVaosdnex44gfJfOYoDBgzSiRAIomExRtDQyj59YJGhki5M2i4xUL7taoobOQZF0j0OJbZLuL9S5JQsrmuc8EyDQ8INPcnXnjxI/?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="DSC02664" width="354"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM8EKETTHMO3omm58_ZK2p4F4ihhf3LAMdlTs4Czh3ZYh-VfM8QNuPhrsjskfu6bDaaTAzgS9Uc3gZtzOMSqYYI5sp5B9D_GB3LsdeXLyxto4lLqAO5ub5KDMU7TGYXRQ8JEeotQsKWNfN/s1600-h/DSC02665%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02665" border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI5WL2zcQmRAk5F5C92q885eIPJofJRssx8mTeIUKKDur-wHOUWDEXOv23l2OHcm7v4vfEOByYJHWtgwno11Cadl6aPDl7R-yy7qY_XTZ6UWYqlIs301jqod0LFZXie1V_6kziGW3mNqEX/?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="DSC02665" width="379"></a>My morning snack was thanks to the wonderful <a href="http://tippytoediet.com/">Cammy over at Tippy Toe Diet</a>. A few weeks ago she sent me some coupons to try out the <strong>Dole Fruit Gel Cups</strong>. I was pleasantly surprised, I really liked them. And it is only <strong>1 point</strong> each.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb_-msFw86PGqzJVhQBiuZ9NSHLdKVu0ZXZGH8CTZSYs1E3Y69XVeHFVyZ994Gs_brEIs1o6R2cV4hp6xAyNo-zGktGlV7U0V1lLRjWEOY0XIjiy0nAAAQGxVNzuzD7_vW5Lsl9SeXQbtk/s1600-h/DSC02666%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02666" border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyJHurlcVcCtmG8B4tT2-hQm_GtqjnJ622BQKto_b35jImHQa-5-MTWrim3hZFeNMbkFZOv0Zd2zo2fA16S34qOdourJ4phhw4soaU8okI0v_Mls9dVx8VcHK1BFTmjPrJhG2-8OJpvJZg/?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="DSC02666" width="400"></a></p> <p>Later on before lunch I broke out my favorite crunchy, <strong>zero point</strong> snack...<strong>baby carrots</strong>!! Mmmm!! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg424YQcvLBpXb3o8FeZGL3BLzbgkfxoG-_hWs1zBd9bu2L8vim26lZakL4CoqcVkbqMqwg-FmO8E1__fDMRhv0wMPYLdenOJleIhTIyUkt3ZC_2v_TSmMP1XT0OPq4NzX-yP7pLgfOXtYX/s1600-h/DSC02667%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02667" border="0" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG7nGUiRstWzmRtsvp3iQ1aKOyrQG4cUxqy_fgZHD1-t8JdUTEYUBgjeIyZdiHz1GJ2CYuQT4dOQ3Nlu1N7PAkj41CRtFceNdSMME6Jc3XopBbS_ravTVV3dlEwBAWVVKHzdHay3wCY7XF/?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="DSC02667" width="504"></a></p> <p>For lunch I had my favorite cold cereal combo, honey nut cheerios with 1/2 sliced banana and skim milk for 5 points. </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKCKqV1QezFKTVYOeZSK__KbTdXZMUX6pluV0O8eSAFHHENUULwU3dVObxvAsI0Uoonj3U8mrwMkcXfoH3z5fb4vZNfdqcRGk-FAPiGrz8zhISv9HQYCcLsQ1mZLeOU3KLteGXbBt_YT5x/s1600-h/DSC02668%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02668" border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPcoot1spu8QRrhBFMGd0LQuj-OqxXzBDIHc15h3_KINEIa5lJTQQbYXgVm6lYPoEw-qha2nhLD_JI6N9FAj3-r49BK676DZkHH8XfhanehO9oYDHmg2_ESnU6swafo7mY76G_TPrxLCOT/?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="DSC02668" width="400"></a></p> <p>After work I buzzed over to WW hoping to weigh 160 OR LESS and..............I was 160.2. My WW leader had an awesome idea to change my goal weight to 161 (my weight last week) and so this week was my first week of maintenance. But we celebrated this week! She gave me my award and I stood up in front of everyone and told my “story”! I had to get a picture with my leader too. She is a bubbly fun lady who has definitely been a great help on this journey.  So I have 5 more weeks of maintenance and then I can go for FREE!!! :)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicNJEhFNGp2tkEugw8cmWU5sgT4-S1cqTtnlAUdfxefie3B1tJ_KvdXPW5FjUus9d8uqj9OU5A4qjYqkFyluNffTqnw9uYfwSIJqrvkI3tUTlhTBuDGWewX2TreRl1SVUP_6SeOqBg0ZJL/s1600-h/DSC02669%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02669" border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ6b6PaYGIuAlvRgwpOSXyIuTnLuio00hU2xh6inxy9NfCASCOnrdKpWdTa-atCvhp4ffklsxwhHRNqKQ09Wwe_FBBaxgDkAvVa01ZQH52OyqQtWteNFskpzwU3tDgKk0ohkgoaaumjyuQ/?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="DSC02669" width="400"></a></p> <p>I had some left over <strong>Creamy Chicken Bake</strong> for supper. I am going to count it for <strong>7 points</strong> because it was a large piece of chicken with a little extra of the “creaminess”!! Doesn’t look too appetizing the 2nd time around, but it was just as good as yesterday!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuZehKaHh6c15LoHyALr0AYyQddFMbI-DUQEngG_CUiJYksPJ2qLvikLHaKxXklraWTSWGzNIiASpyuq_V0ntnkSoaYE8VqNYP13RBvwWjrqVO85Ff646ZTDkJeERgS_HNpGC7Pi1yFV-2/s1600-h/DSC02670%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02670" border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6gw-_S552nD-qttOWNHMM7GWmX1U7OrxFtQ2v_SUAig60kL6L1m2WD9EwmLsVHTxHfon5wPXm7EwNmBRzSxfw4WTksNNTpjgrDX-onqcTePFGiKss7O0Xw_5CebwoDMX7mjG4zJkaTLZF/?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="DSC02670" width="305"></a></p> <p>I was doing a little cleaning and got an unexpected visit from some friends (she is also my co-worker). What a nice surprise…we might even have a cook out on Friday night!! </p> <p>DH got home from work and realized that we are only 10 days away from the Dam to Dam 5K run. So we jetted out for a <strong>run</strong>. We only went about <strong>2 miles</strong>. I had just ate that chicken and a few strawberries so that was sitting pretty <strong>hard</strong> in my <strong>stomach</strong>. I was glad though that we did something. The way my night was looking there wasn’t a forecast of any sort of workout! So thanks babe!!</p> <p>Gotta get going. I am hosting ANOTHER shower tomorrow at my house. It’s a baby one this time! Yikes I just remembered I still haven’t got a gift…now I really gotta go!!
