Snow Day!

Whooo Hooo! It was great to have a snow day! We slept in a little (til 7 a.m.) and lounged around in bed. Such laziness :) I didn't do my normal early morning workout, but knew I would have time to fit it in later. I ended up spending the morning helping the daughters with homework projects, but I made sure to get in a good breakfast before I got busy with them. I made Whole Wheat Pumpkin Blueberry Pancakes(they were huge!) with a few slices of banana on the side. Delish and only 4 POINTS...


I finished helping little daughter with her project, so she and I took the opportunity to "Shred" before lunch. Brutual! I hate Jillian today ;) My legs are sore and I suck at push-ups, but she says" nothing is for free" so I have to keep on keepin on. Ugh! Little daughter, on the other hand, rocked this workout! As if she needs it; she weighs all of 43 lbs.!

After "Shred", I shakily made my way to the kitchen to make some lunch. I decided to go with another big salad since I really enjoyed the one from yesterday. Today, I used a bunch of lettuce, 2 oz. lean ham, 1 light string cheese sliced, 1 hard-boiled egg white, tomato, carrots and 2 tbsp. Marie's Lite Chunky Blue Cheese dressing. I looked at the bottle today and realized that this is the "proper" name of the dressing !! Lots of bites for 5 POINTS...

I still required some more crunch (and salt!), so I grabbed a handful of pretzel sticks for 1 POINT...

Later in the afternoon, I had the urge to exercise. HUH??!! I know, I thought that was bizarre, too! But, I rode the wave since I need to make up for some cals, so I hit the elliptical for 30 minutes. My legs were not thrilled with this decision. Still shaky and kinda burny. Tomorrow should be REAL fun; hope I can get out of bed !

I almost went without a snack, but suddenly I felt ravenous and still had an hour until dinner, so I didn't want to chance a pig-out session. I had a Weight Watchers Vanilla Yogurt and a serving of Cinnamon Puffins for 2 POINTS...

For dinner, I made Chicken Cacciatore with a side of Gram's green beans. I also had a half slice of some delicious whole wheat bread that little daughter and I made earlier in the afternoon. This was a big hit at dinner; she was so proud!! A delicious 7 POINT family favorite...

And, of course, there had to be a dessert for me. I debated about letting it go since I have weigh-in tomorrow and I'm thinking it's not gonna be so hot. But, my sweet tooth got the better of me! I had a Weight Watchers Peanut Butter Cookie with PB2Fluff icing. Oooohs and ahhhhs for 2 POINTS...

I have to admit that, although I was excited for a hang-out snow day with the daughters, I was secretly worried about being stuck in the house all day with lots of food! I was hoping the munchies wouldn't surface and cause me to blow this whole week out of the water. Thankfully, I kept busy enough and I made it through unscathed:) We'll see what tomorrow brings...

Hope everyone had a great day =)
