my daily rations !

I know, I know, I know.. I shouldnt complain. I have lost 52 pounds so far and that is wonderful and I'm very happy about it and I feel much better and much healthier! But I still feel FAT! I still want to lose another 25 pounds. I lost that first 40 pounds so quickly and the last 12 sooo slowly! I was hoping to lose another 25, well, 23 really, by the end of June when I go to the ocean. But realistically, I dont think thats going to happen by then. (darn it!) But I wont give up! I'm going to keep trying! I suppose I should change my goal date to a later time.. maybe september, since thats when I originally started and that would make it a full year to lose 75 pounds. I guess thats reasonable.
So, this is what I eat on a typical day..
I started out with a small bowl of special K with choc bits in it, 3/4 of a cup and a 1/2 cup of fat free milk. I also had a ww english muffin with ... Are you ready for this? POWDERED PEANUT BUTTER! Just discovered it.. its really good. you mix a tbsp with a little water and spread it on! It is peanut butter, but with hardly any fat. the lowest points peanut butter Ive found is peter pan whipped peanut butter which is 4 points per 2 tbsps. This is 1 pt, per 2 tbsps! And I only use 1 tbsp! It has to be ordered from someplace in Goergia! but is worth it.
so anyways, thats 4 (technically 4.5, but I dont count halves!) points to start the day.
then I packed 2 clementines and a vitatop for my morning snack. (2 pts) for lunch I had half a sandwhich on ww bread (2 pts), 2 cups of fruit (2pts), my jello fluff (no pts) and a fiber one bar (1 pt). I eat the popcorn through out the day.. (1 Pt)
OOPS.. forgot something! there was a luncheon at work today and I ate a sliver of a piece of angel food cake.. (2 pts!)

When I got home from work, I had more no pts jello and a fat free grahm cracker (1 pt)

then for dinner.. I had 1/2 cup of egg beaters cooked with asparagus, tomatos, red peppers, purple onions and mushrooms (2pts). I also cooked one of these apple maple chicken breakfast sausages.. (1pt) but it doesnt count, because I didnt eat it.. didnt like it much. But I have to count a 1 pt for my english muffin and more of that peanut butter! So 4.5 points for dinner.

Total for the day at that point.. 18 ish points! I get 22 a day.. so a while ago I had a 1/2 cup bowl of Breyers no sugar added vanilla ice cream (1 pt) on top of a choc vitatop (1 pt) with a tiny sprinkle of walnuts and a squirt of lite choc syrup (1 pt) and a squirt of lite whipped cream (no pts). for a grand total for the day of 21 points.

Really youre supposed to eat the full allotment of points for the day.. so if I really wanted to, I could have a bowl of popcorn of something! Plus I went for an hour walk.. which adds activity points.. if I wanted to use them.. but I'm full.

Well I'm off for the night.. I took tomorrow off and Jen, Beth and I are going to buffalo in the morning for the Creating Keepsakes Convention. They always have the best stuff there. I'll be sure to buy a bunch of stuff that I just have to have and may never use!

Even though I'm off tomorrow, I'm on call for the weekend. but at least I'm free for the day. The last time I was on call I ended up with 19 1/2 hours overtime! Hopefully it wont be too busy this weekend.

ok.. my back is aching.. I'm actually headed for the couch, something I rarely do!

talk to yas later!
