Sweet And Savory

Well, in case you hadn't guessed, tonight was PIZZA NIGHT! Since I have been hanging with one foot over the cliff of overeating today, I decided to forego a pizza dinner for myself and make something else. I was having weird (but healthy!) cravings tonight : sweet potato and hummus. Not necessarily together! But, I did eat them as a meal in itself. In an effort to save some time, I put the sweet potato in the micro instead of baking it. Still a good tasting tater! I spritzed it with some ICBINB spray and drizzled a little low calorie pancake syrup. While the potato was nuking, I made the hummus. I could eat of vat of this stuff! It is amazing! I paired 2 tbsp. of hummus with carrot sticks. This was a different kind of dinner for me. Sweet and savory, all for 5 POINTS...



And then came PIZZA! While I was putting the leftovers away, I nibbled on some. I kept cutting little slivers off the edges of a few of the slices. But, this is a NEW ME! I do NOT FREAK OUT; I journal, count it and move ON. Nuff said :)

I ended the night with a yummy 3 POINT dessert: 1/2 c. Breyers Fat Free Double Churn Caramel Swirl Ice Cream with 1/2 of a Nonni's biscotti. Good stuff...

I have been sitting here debating whether to munch something else; I have really wanted to eat all day today! Could it have been my run on the treadmill that triggered this? Or maybe, the cold weather - I seem to want to eat more when it's winter. In any event, I read a post from Angie on the BLBE forum and it helped reel me in! I want to stay focused for my team!! Such a cool feeling! I hope I can channel this every time I might feel like overeating these next 16 weeks.

Gonna hit the hay, now. Just in case..... ;)

Powering Up

I've got a busy day; lots of errands, shopping, cleaning and running kids around. I needed a quick breakfast to get me going. I had some Power Pumpkin Pancakes in the freezer and decided they were a good choice. I nuked them for a minute in the micro, added some ICBINB spray and a little low calorie syrup. I also had some pretty strawberries and a double shot of Eggnoggin Tea. I am powered up and ready to go!!!!!!

Work It Off

I feel pudgy today. I didn't say fat, just pudgy. I'm trying to be nicer to myself:) Anyway, I think it's the "guilts" over eating pretzels and Cheez Its before bed last night. It shouldn't be a big deal, I had the weekly points for it, but I know I don't lose well when I dig into those. Plus, I probably used most of them for Thanksgiving. Well, nothing else to do but stay focused on eating properly and work it off on the treadmill!!!

I had to get going quick this morning for an errand, so I'm getting a late start on breakfast and exercise. For breakfast, I toasted a Maple Cornbread Muffin and spritzed it with some I Can't Believe It's Not Butter (ICNINB) spray and a tsp. of Smucker's Sugar Free Seedless Strawberry Jam. Mmmm, that was a tasty combo! I also had 1/4 c. nonfat cottage cheese with 1/2 c. crushed pineapple...

Time to get going; I've got a hot date with the treadmill....;D
