Great day today

Today was a high point day, I had to eat 36 points. I did great, I was actually trying to fit in foos at the end of the day to get me up to my point target.

So I have had 3 consecutive days of perfectly following my eating plan. I feel good, and haven't been tempted too much to eat outside the plan.

Tonight I made a great recipe, Buffalo Chicken Lasagna. It was only 10 points for 1/4 of the whole pan, which I was VERY happy about, because I love me some lasagna. Usually. Usually I love me some lasagna, but today, not so much. The recipe calls for 1 cup of buffalo sauce to 3 cups of spaghetti sauce. I have made this recipe before and it turned out great, but I think I used mild wing sauce last time. This time I used Louisiana Hot Sauce, and only my 11 year old daughter ate much of it, because she's hard core like that. My husband politely ate a medium sized piece while guzzling water, and I only ate half my allotted portion, which left me with 5 points for the day that I needed to plan food for.

Here's what I ate today:

B:
24 frosted mini wheats, strawberry, with 1/2 cup skim milk- 4 pts
apple- 1 pt

L:
Lean Gourmet frozen meal, Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes- 4 pts
1 1/2 cups spinach and cucumbers- 0 pts
1/4 cup feta- 2 pts
2 slices turkey bacon- 2 pts

S:
14 carrots- 0 pts

D:
1/8 of Lasagna- 5pts
1 cup broccoli- 0pts
2 1/2 cups skim milk- 5 pts

S:
3/4 cup FF Breyers chocolate ice cream- 3 pts
2 Fun Size M&M bags- 4 pts
32 Reduced Fat Pringles- 6 pts


Yes, that's a lot of snacking at the end there. The ice cream with M&Ms on top was divine. I haven't ever eaten the Pringles yet, I am honestly not even hungry. I'm gonna go get them though, because I really believe that you need to follow the food plan exactly and eat exactly your allotted points in order to keep your body guessing so that the weight will consistantly come off. My rule is that if I have eaten all 5 f/v servings and all 3 dairy servings, I can use any left over points at the end of the day for snacks. So you know I'm LOVING being able to eat ice cream, M&Ms, and chips all in the same day and know that I'm gonna lose weight on Friday despite it!

And THAT, folks, is why I LOVE Weight Watchers!
