Day 1

It's been an amazing day!
I woke up at 5:00am and made breakfast for my hubby and then saw him off to work. I did a little points research and decided I would have a 6 point breakfast which consisted of:

• 1 egg
• 1 slice of wheat toast with "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter - Light!"
• 3 slices of bacon
• 1 cup of black coffee

I'm a huge coffee lover and I realized today that it's not the caffeine that keeps me coming back for cup after cup, it's the flavor.. the cream and sugar! It's like candy! I could barely choke down my black coffee this morning, needless to say, I did not crave more.

After breakfast, I worked out for about 10 minutes with my Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD. It's a 30 minute workout and I lasted 10 minutes. I'm not discouraged though, at least I got up and did it. I've been staring at that darn video since Sunday and today is the first day I put it in. I'm proud of myself.

Around Noon, I started to feel hungry so I made a 6 point lunch:

• Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast with Marinara
• Watermelon slices
• Orange slices
• Light String Cheese

It was a beautiful day outside today, (60 degrees! That's the warmest it's been since we moved to PA!) So, after lunch, I decided to take CooCoo on a walk. We did a mile which included some stairs and some uphill areas. I was feeling tired when I got home, but then my neighbor came outside and asked if I wanted to go for a walk. I said, "SURE!" So I grabbed the other dog, Chloe.. and headed out again. This time it was an even longer walk with more uphill climbs. I'd estimate that I walked about 2.5 miles today. That's very major for me.

I've been staring at brown bananas on my counter for a couple days. I knew I'd have to throw them out or make banana bread with them. Not wanting to be wasteful, I made the banana bread with Splenda Brown Sugar substitute. Since I've been struggling to meet my PointsPlus Value for the day, I had a slice. (5 points) *Edit: Found out tonight I calculated the Banana Bread wrong, it's 12 points a slice.*

Then for dinner, it was a 4 point meal:

• Baked Chicken with Lemon Slices and Garlic
• Broccoli

I have 19 more points to eat today and I have no idea how I'm going to do that unless I bust out with some cookies and chips. (Which I'm not going to do)
I think this whole thing will be easier once I can go grocery shopping next week and pick out specific foods for weight watchers instead of scrounging through the things I bought almost two weeks ago. (We shop every pay day.)

So that was my day, how was yours?
