Day 4 - 2/20/08

This one is going to be a quick post. I am actually tired and it's not even 11:00 p.m. yet! I am fighting off a cold though so as much rest as I can get, the better. I always joke that when I start eating healthier and losing weight, my immune system doesn't know how to act! When I did Weight Watchers before, I had colds constantly during that time. I guess this just means I need to double up on my vitamins.

I was really craving sweets today. I thought about having some ice cream but one of my faves is 7.0 points for a 1/2 cup. And, that's without the necessary caramel syrup topping. I know I can have it on Saturday if I still really want it by then.

With breakfast this morning, I used the colby jack cheese bar and melted it between the 100 calorie English muffin. What a great breakfast at 3 points!

Below is a breakdown of my food intake :

• Thomas English muffin (100 calorie) - 1.0 pt
• 1 Tillamook colby jack cheese bar (3/4 oz) - 2.0 pts
• 1 Lean Cusine Grilled Chicken Caesar bowl - 5.0 pts
• 22 1/2 pretzel sticks - 1.0 pt
• Chicken Fried Rice - 5.0 pts
• 1/2 c. corn kernels - 1.0 pt
• 1 Tbsp. margarine - 3.0 pts
• 2 Tbsp. sugar - 2.0 pts
• 2 1/2 c. hull-less cheese corn - 4.0 pts
• 1/4 c. cool whip - 1.0 pt
• 1 Weight Watchers lemon cake - 1.0 pt
  

Total points used : 26.0 pts
Total points saved : 5.0 pts

It was a good day overall. I tried a new Special K2O water - Tropical Blend. It was pretty good. It's zero points. I fulfilled all of my water, milk, and fruits and veggies for the day. I only walked once today due to our rainy weather today.

I have banked 20.0 points so far! Saturday is going to be a blast!

TTFN!
