Tuesday in Iowa = Thunderstorm Day...It's been raining off and on all day! I do recall getting woke up a few times last night to thunder as well! But unlike when I was a kid, I was able to go right back to sleep!
For some reason I had a hankering for eggs & toast this morning. So I made my egg over easy with a toasted thin bun for 3 points! I love dipping toast in the yoke!!
I stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few things and one of those Reeses eggs jumped into my basket and yes I gave into temptation and bought the silly 25 cent “super after Easter sale” candy at 7:30am. Points = 4 YIKES!! That's more than my breakfast and WAY less filling.
So this is where my snacky-ness started. Once at work I dove right into my stash of snacks and had not 1, but 2 of these yummy little guys. But to my surprise (due to the high fiber content) they were only 1 point per package...thank goodness!
I also had 2 homemade *small* peanut butter cookies for an estimate of 3 points each (6 total).
Ok Darci...you MUST stop all this snacking!! Instead I opted for my healthy snack and mixed up 1 1/2 c strawberries, 1/4c grape nuts, and vanilla yogurt for 3 points.
I kept things light for lunch due to all my morning snacks! I had 1 c honeydew melon, 1 c fresh pineapple, and 1/2c cottage cheese for 4 points.
After work I hurried home and made supper for 2 families! We were asked to provide a meal for a family at church who just had a baby! So we got it all boxed up and delivered! I also got my baby fix in…he was SO tiny & SUPER cute!!
I made them the same thing we had, creamy baked chicken & green bean casserole. My servings totaled 9 points. 
Creamy Baked Chicken (4 pts/breast)
- 4 6-oz chicken breasts
- 1 can 98% fat free cream of chicken
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 cups Stove Top stuffing mix
- 1 c. fat free chicken broth
- 4 oz. low fat (or fat free) swiss cheese
Cut chicken breasts in half so you have 8. Place in 9x13 pan and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix soup and water. Put Swiss cheese on chicken breasts. Pour soup over chicken. Sprinkle crushed stuffing mix over chicken. Drizzle chicken broth over. Bake for about 45 minutes or until done. Recipe courtesy of Kelly!
I’ve been a busy little bee tonight, made supper, cleaned up after supper, 2 loads of laundry, filed in our office, organized storage area, picked out clothes for the rest of the week! I’m ready to chill!
TUESDAY’S STATS
POINTS = 28/22
WEEKLY ALLOWANCE POINTS = 5 used/30 remaining
ACTIVITY POINTS EARNED = 0 today/0 week
WATER = 80 oz
EXERCISE = none
I need to get back to tracking my weekly allowance points & activity points so I’m adding it to my “stats” for each day for my use more than anything! I think this will help me reach my goal weight and keep me on track.
