280.5

Ok, so it seriously took all the courage I had this morning to step on the scale. After last night's pizza binge it literally took me almost a two full minutes of standing in front of the scale, psyching myself up to step on it. But in the end, I am doing this for me and I have to be accountable to myself, even on my bad days. I was pleasantly surprised that I was only up a half a pound, I was expecting it to be much worse. There is something to be said for eating in moderation for sure.

Today was a brand new day, so I started off by (running almost a half hour late this morning-I hate when that happens!) making a pumpkin smoothie. I used 1/2 cup of pumpkin, 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt, 1/2 cup of skim milk and a sprinkling of pumpkin pie spice and spelnda. It was so thick, it was like trying to suck up whipped cream through a straw. The good thing about it was that it was only 2 points for the whole thing and it took me until 11:30 to finish it; no need for a mid morning snack. By the time I got to the bottom of it I had to add some water to the mix to make it more palatable. I don't think I'll be making another one tomorrow, I'm a bit pumpkin-ed out right now. I had a turkey and ham sandwich for lunch with a yogurt which I was surprised how well it filled me up. This afternoon was wicked busy at work and around 4:00 I had 25 almonds for an afternoon snack. By the time I got home I was chilled and really didn't feel like making dinner, but I did. I sliced up the remainder of the pork tenderloin from Sunday and made 2 quesadillas for us and we both snacked on some left over pizza while I was cooking. So far I have 1.5 points left for the day and I'm pretty happy about that. I was thinking about making some dessert, but I worked on my resume instead (fun).

Also, I wore my pediometer for the first time in months today, 3197 steps today. Pretty dismal. I have got to work on getting more activity in.
