Thursday, Nov 12

This morning I weighed in, and over the past two weeks I’ve lost 4.2 lbs! I’m not entirely sure how that happened, but I’ll take it.

This week I’m going to be more pro-active about my eating, by planning my meals the night before, and continuing to take pictures. I’ll be sticking to my points pretty closely most days, and using my flex points over the weekend for the birthday funtivities that my sister has planned for me.

This morning I was going to use my free birthday drink coupon at Biggby, but I decided to save it for tomorrow, since tomorrow is Friday. Instead I just had a milk chocolate Ensure shake, and sipped from my trusty Nalgene bottle throughout the morning. I really think Ensure shakes are a good idea for me, because I don’t usually feel like actually eating much in the morning.

For lunch I tried a new kind of frozen meal: Kashi Tuscan Veggie Bake. This is the first time I’ve tried Kashi’s frozen meals, and I have to say it was very tasty! I could taste the whole wheat pasta, and there were tons of veggies in it, with just a little bit of a zippy taste. The back of the package says it has two servings of vegetables in it! I think I’ll have to try more Kashi meals next time I go grocery shopping. Lean Cuisines get a little repetitive after a while.

Since Colin worked the evening shift tonight, I made myself Zesty Tomato Bisque soup and a grilled cheese sandwich, with nine grain bread, fat free sharp cheddar cheese, and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spray for the outside of the bread.

Tomorrow I’ll actually be making dinner since Elaine will be here. We’ll want to have dinner before going to the comedy club so that we can save a little money!

And when Colin got home he opened the bottle of wine. He got some bad news at work today – they’re cutting staff, and he’s being demoted with a pay cut. So I left him alone with his wine and his PS3 football game with his friends to de-stress, and just had a glass of wine before bed.

Points used: 23.5

I came in a bit under points today, probably because I fell asleep after I ate lunch and slept through the time of day when I would normally have some sort of snack. I don’t feel hungry at all though, so I think I’m alright. Actually, I think a little more wine might be in order…
