Day 4

Thursday, January 27th 2011

So today was a whirlwind - I felt like I was running around until Joe got home from work. I grabbed a babybel cheese and a raisin oatmeal bar on my way out at 11 30 cause I just hadn't had time to eat breakfast. 4 points down.

I was thrilled to go to lunch with my sis today - love those outings however, the kids make it a little hectic but hey, we are never short on excitement! We were stumped on where to go.... on a non diet day we don't have this problem but when you are trying to count these points, it makes you really think what you are putting in your mouth.
We went to Zupa's and it was devine! I had the tomato basil soup and a sandwich. I had checked online and found the points for the soup but that was it. When I ordered my meal, they asked if I wanted the orzo pasta that came with my soup, I said no. I was then asked if I wanted cheese or sour cream, again I answered no. It's crazy how fast those points and calories can add up when you aren't paying attention. I also got the Turkey Spinach Artichoke panini - I had no idea how many points is was but man, it sounded awesome. I ended up eating half of my sandwich and soup...again, by paying attention I saved eating more and adding more points. Still questioning the points on the sandwich but from what I can tell, it was probably 9 per half.

We had baked salmon with dijon topping for dinner. I paired it with a baked potato and an artichoke. I topped my potato with the fat free stuff but used 2 tsp of mayo for the artichoke. I ended up eating only 1/2 of my mayo serving so... wahoo! It was 15 points for dinner so all in all, my 2 meals were more than average but hey, I still have 6 left for dessert :)

I am thinking one choco-peanut butter cookie (2pts) and a ice cream sandwich (4 pts)
