Super Simple And Shopping

Hey All! First I want to say thanks to all who entered my Larabar giveaway. It was so cool to see all you "lurkers" come out to comment! I am so glad to be able to share my favorite Larabar flavors and I wish I could send them to all of you! Unfortunately, there can only be one winner this time. I won't make you scroll all the way til the end! Random.org says the winner is..... Dee from My Journey! Yay, Dee! Finally, a win for the Canadians!!! Dee, send me your address and I'll get these babies out to you. Okay, let's get to the food...


Today was a day of simple foods. No fuss. Stress free. Mostly made by others, which is extremely simple for me! I started off with a 30 min. run on the treadmill, then a breakfast of blue balls. Heheh. I know that's not nice. It was another beautious bowl of blue (better, right?) for 3 POINTS...


Then it was out the door to pick up Gram for a day of mall shopping. Yippee! Sounds like fun, right? Wrong. I hate shopping. I'm not sure why. I used to love it, but now it seems like torture. I think the husband brainwashes me while I am sleeping. He must repeat over and over in my ear, you hate shopping. shopping is torture. spending money is baaaaad. So now I am brainwashed and the joy of shopping has been sucked out of me. I digress. Food. Oh,yeah. Gram and I stopped the super shopping for a quick lunch at Subway. I had the turkey on wheat with veggies, no cheese, no condiments and a bag o' apples for 6 POINTS...

When I got home, it was snack time! Uh, I mean drink time! Another Chocolate Strawberry Crackshake for 2 POINTS...

Dinner was from good old Trader Joe's...

Here's the facts ( and the ingredients aren't too "scary" either!)... click to enlarge...

I had 1 c. of the Mandarin Orange Chicken with sauce (added another POINT), 1 c. whole wheat coucous and broccoli for 9 POINTS...

I ended the night with 2 of these for 2 POINTS...

I was going to do some strength training tonight, but honestly, I have no strength for strength training tonight. It's early to bed for me ! That 81 year old super shopper whipped my butt today! Guess I'm no whipper snapper after all ;)

Nite everyone!

Lunch With The Ladies

I spent the day Christmas shopping with Mom and Gram, trying to help Gram finish up her list of people to buy for. We took a break for lunch and decided Subway was the lesser of all the evils in the mall (the pizza place was crankin out the enticing smell of freshly made pizza -ugh!). So, I opted for the 6 inch turkey and ham sub. They put whatever fixings you want on it and I went with the basics: lettuce, tomato, red onion, a couple pickles and a squirt of lite mayo. I did have some bad for your intestines Light Lays Chips. I have detoxed myself from these and I have to say that after eating my new favorite Kettle Baked Potato Chips, I was not so into these Light Lays. Score one for me! I also had a Diet Coke (baby steps, here)...


A bit of a Pointy lunch - 8 total Points, especially for not getting all my food groups in. However, today was a day of feeding the cravings, so the nutrition will come another day.

I was still in the bready mood for snack. I cut up an Arnold Sandwich Thin into triangles which I used to dip in 2 tbsp. of hummus. So good! I think I will do this for my next party/get together. I was feeling a bit guilty about my lack of veg/fruit, so I threw in a clementine!

A very filling snack for 3.5 Points! Just gotta get through dinner and dessert and I think I beat the munchie monster...
