Day 3

Wednesday, January 25th 2011

I have to admit something - I weighed myself today... I was scared but was thrilled when I saw I lost 2.5 lbs!

I decided this morning I wanted to make myself a BIG breakfast, too bad I didn't get to it until 11:30AM! I need to work on it, I need to work on getting up earlier and eating when I get up. Anyway, back to breakfast.... I made toast, bacon, eggs and strawberries. How's that for a breakfast - this diet is all about changing the food and lowering portions, no need to neglect yourself. I used canadian bacon, Sara Lee wheat bread, and had one egg.
Lunch was challenge - because I ate so late in the day, I didn't eat before I took the girls to the movie for a birthday party. I got a small popcorn and rootbeer for my 4 year old - the girl behind the counter made sure to tell me a medium popcorn was only 75 cents more - it is crazy how we pay to get more food when in reality, we dont need it. I ate a babybel on the way to the movie and snuck in a few treats for me so temptation wouldn't be bad. I did have a few handfuls of popcorn but nothing like the normal case. We left that theater with over 1/2 of a SMALL bag left - All I can say is WOW!

Dinner was nachos - much anticipated and very good. I found the basis of the recipe on a friend's blog and that was awesome. We made chips out of our corn tortillas - 1 point per tortilla, that makes 8 chips! It was 10 points for a full plate of food.
I am now drinking my chocolate fix for the day - General Mills International House swiss mocha (sugar free) MMM, only one point!! I have 9 left and am trying to figure what to do with it....

I found a recipe for Chocolate and Strawberry stuffed french toast - I had a request to post it so here it is...

Can you believe it is only 6 points for 2 pieces of this lovely breakfast!!! I just hope it is as good as it sounds.
