I woke up to a yucko day outside, so no 5K outdoor run. I decided to do some cleaning instead and save my workout for later. I finally got around to breakfast which was another open-faced omelette. This combo was 3 egg whites, 4 thin slices canadian bacon, 1/2 c. leftover chopped broccoli and 1 oz. Cabot 75% Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese. A yummy 3 POINTS...
This didn't hold me as long as I thought and I was ready for lunch earlier than I expected. I went with another Ezekiel Sprouted Grain Bun topped with 2 tbsp. homemade hummus, roasted peppers and baby spinach. Yum! With it, I had a fuji apple, some carrots and another 1/2 homemade Larabar. A very filling 7 POINT lunch...
After lunch, I did 40 weighted minutes on the elliptical and 20 tricep dips. I've been slacking on the strength training, but I like doing the tricep dips and Lord knows my "Miss America" wave could use the help!I was getting a little hungry in the late afternoon, so I grabbed some grapes (1 POINT)...
Who IS this person that snacks on grapes in the afternoon???? I don't know, but I'm feeling like it's the right thing to do ;) The in-laws came for dinner tonight. I decided to make a nice, healthy meal of roasted chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, salad with olive oil, red wine vinegar and a touch of honey. Of course, we had to have some amazing rustic Italian bread. I did well with my portions; about 3 oz. chicken, 3 oz. sweet potatoes, 2 oz. bread and big spoon of salad, all for 9 POINTS...
Everyone started digging into some cookies for dessert. I was planning on just having coffee, but the cookies were tempting, so I brought out the big gun...
Then, everyone wanted MY dessert! But, I'm not sharing. Nope. It's mine. All mine. muwahh haaa haaa!!!! =)

You amaze me: 40 minutes on the elliptical?! Wow! I was talking to an aunt and she has worked up to 17 minutes. That's tough!
Your food looks so good. Congrats on staying on plan and eating so healthy.
Oh wow, your foods are amazingly yum yum yum!
Congrats on the GRAPE snack! I know what a coup that is for you...
Your food looks soooo good!
I LOVE the 75% reduced fat Cabot cheddar cheese - I think it has all the flavor as the real stuff and it melts really well!
I plan on doing a lower fat mac n cheese later this week with it.
ok woman.
there is NO TRYING only DOING and, judging by your post, YOU.ARE.DOING!!
I love the big gun :-D It's such an awesome PB-chocolate treat, but it's packed with protein! YUM!
wow your blog is awesome. I've been tired of eating the same stuff week after week so you gave me some good idea for some low point meals :) keep up the good work!
The Miss America wave- i stopped doing that long ago because the extra skin flaps so much I worry that I might put someones eye out. One day when i get to goal, it will be a different story !
You rock! And homemade Larabars? Really?
ohhhhh... how do you make the larabars? i would love to see your recipe!
You crack me up with the Miss America wave! You sound like you're doing great!!
Sounds like you are having a fantastic week!!! Love Love Love fuji apples. Ok I might have already said that before but I just LOVE them. Next best thing to a honeycrisp in my mind. I'd like to try making that salad dressing..how much of each ingredient do you mix together? And oh how that was cruel to not share your dessert. Poor souls got stuck with cookies while you ate that delicious treat. lol AND yes I'm curious to know how you made the larabars too?
looks like you ARE really trying!!! i love this post. i've been thinking the exact same thing all weekend. i need to start really trying and stop my complaining!
