Another half pound this morning! They all add up.

Feeling a bit tired and not 100% motivated today, but I've stayed on program, ate all my points without going over, so I'm pretty happy about that.

For breakfast I made a blueberry smoothie, and I mean all blueberry. A cup of frozen blueberries, blueberry yogurt and some orange juice. It was a bit over the top. I think tomorrow I will make a blend of blueberry plus something. Midmorning snack was 1oz of regular almonds, which I think is quickly becoming my favorite snack. For lunch I had a small portion of last night's leftover shrimp and pasta and a yogurt (thankfully not blueberry). The orange I put in my bag for a afternoon snack was brown and nasty inside, so I had a rice krispie treat instead, and it was not as satisfying as that orange would have been.

For dinner the hubby has a friend spending the night tonight so there were 3 of us for dinner and J's tummy is not yet 100% from the sickness he had over the weekend and yesterday. SO I made 2 chicken breasts, a pound of whole wheat penne (again, I really don't love whole wheat pasta), 2 heads of broccoli, and about 2 cups of mushrooms. Instead of oil I used ff chicken stock to coat the pasta and saute the veg. Plus I made some soup, black bean and tomato. The soup was very yummy, I will be taking the rest to work with me for lunch tomorrow and the boys have the left over pasta for work. I really like it when it works out that we have enough left overs to have them the next day for lunch. After all that I still had 10 points left over for the day so I indulged in some regular, full fat ice cream and a few almonds=yum!

I like Tuesdays after work cause it's one of the only times I get to talk to my sister. But I am looking forward to the weekend already. I am exceptionally tired today for some reason.
