Breakfast
2 cinnamon bun pancakes w/ about a tablespoon of the icing: 13
I used this recipe w/ a few substitutions. Calculated it on WW online. We got about 10 small pancakes from this.
This was seriously delicious and indulgent but now I only have 10 points remaining for the day! This is probably why I stayed so heavy for so long. I never used to think about the fact that because I indulged in one part of my day that maybe I should go light for the other two meals. Now I do. This is a big change for me. BIG!
Lunch
Two venison tacos leftover from the other night w/ shredded cabbage (we were out of lettuce), grape tomatoes and about a tablespoon of sour cream (full fat)
taco shells: 3
meat: 2
sour cream: 1
Total: 6
Snack
About 12 almonds
Total: 2
Total: 2
Dinner
Insalata Fiorucci -- Artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers and grilled eggplant in vinaigrette,
topped with a hazelnut goat cheese medallion at Carrabba's w/ a pomegranate martini.
I found the nutritional information for this here.
I have no idea how to accurately calculate this but it was such a treat since I never buy eggplant or artichokes - no one here but me likes stuff like that - and I was with a friend. Ate almost every bite except some of the cheese.
Let's say the drink was about 5, the bread about 3 and the salad 8.
About one slice of their bread w/ some of the olive oil dip. My friend helped me from eating the whole basket and asking for more. ;) She's great like that.
Estimated total for such indulgence: 16
Oh, and then I came home and ate one of these:
They are 3 points and really good.
Total for the day: 46 WWP+
So I have no more weekly points left but did meet all my requirements for liquids, healthy fats, vegetables and dairy and then some! Ha!
I finally calculated (via finding the ehow website) how many points I get...it is 30. I have not been doing it WW style but I have been counting my calories. Since giving up my precious beer I have done really well.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing so much better than me, I hope that reading your blog will spark something in me so I will kick it up a notch. Keep up the good work girl.
Elisa, you are so good with this program. I am starting over again today and I have you to thank for. You're the picture of true accountability and I need to start being that way. *sigh* Sometimes this can be so hard. LOL. Keep up the posts, I love reading them.
ReplyDeleteThank you both! It's a daily, minute by minute struggle for me to be good. I thought doing this would force me to stick w/ it. I hope it works this time!
