Day 6 . . . Food Journal

Okay so let me start out by saying that I stepped on the scale this morning, and for the first time in almost 3 months I had a large loss!!! I don't know if it's because this food blog has me motivated to keep on track, and try better healthier things, but whatever it is I'm greatful!! I lost 5.5 POUNDS this week!! I couldn't have been happier with myself for sticking with it this week and not giving up after my gain last week.

This morning I once again slept through breakfast being as I had a very late night the day before. When I finally woke up it was time for lunch. I decided to make something that was simple and fast so I heated up a quesadilla. It was made with grilled chicken breast, Montery Jack cheese bell peppers, and onions. I also added salsa to the side as well as a little low point sour cream! It was very tasty and quick to make I suggest these to all people in a hurry! If you want to make them better you can always toast the shells in a frying pan to make them crunchier it gives them a really nice texture when your eating them!

After eating the Dilla's I decided I wanted something sweet, and I just couldn't bring myself to eat another piece of the pumpkin spice cake again because I have been eating it all week. Instead I sliced up some strawberries and banana's and topped them with a little bit of Fat Free Cool Whip! Let me tell you I have never tasted anything so refreshing and lite for dessert it was amazing I guess people pair these two fruit up often because when mixed the flavors compliment each other so well! This time I remembered to use a ripe banana, and the sweetness from it saved me from having to add any sweetner to this dish at all!

Tonight I have to head back into work :( Oh well I guess I should be used to it by now since I haven't hit any lotteries as of late. I decided to make a Chicken sandwich with Baby Swiss cheese on Rye bread tonight. I normally don't use the Rye because it's more point's then the sandwich thins, but I had plenty of points to spend so I splurged! I was going to bring a larger salad to work with me tonight, but had to settle on a smaller version because I was out of my usually salad fixings. I ended up throwing Romain lettuce, cucumbers, and grated cheese into a bowl and adding some left over bell peppers. I really wanted to get some more fruit in so I decided to take a Ruby Red grapefruit cup with me, and added a pre-packaged container of cheese cubes, grapes and apples to go with everything else. Also tonight since it's the beginning of my new week, and I have my 35 extra weekly points to work with I decided to add a very small mix of M&M's, Reese's Pieces, and York Peppermint Pattie Bites into a little container; this way I can nibble on a couple of candy bites if I get the hot's for something sweet, but it's not enough to ruin my point's count for the day!

Now that I am starting this new week I hope to remain on track, and try and get in some new recipes! I don't expect to lose much this week by staying on track because I had such a large loss this week already, but I am hoping to keep getting in my body toning exercises and my cardio, and hopefully lose some inches! Today out of 32 points I ended up eating all 32! This is a good and typical day people on WW are not supposed to have any dailies left, so for today I think I did very well staying on track !
