Dinner & Now What?

Well I had Tom's Chicken Pot Pie (No Crust) tonight

4 OZ Chicken (Boneless & Skinless) - 4 Points
1 Cup Carrots - 1 pt
1 Cup Green Beans - 0 pt
3 OZ Mushrooms - 0 pt
1 Can Campbells 98% Fat Free Cream of Chicken Soup - 2 points
1 cup Mixed Rice - 4 Points

That's 11 points for dinner.

I still have 11 points left!

I guess that's a good thing because I see my points dropping next week hopefully to 41 0r 40, meanwhile I have a few choices to make what to eat from now until bed & when to eat it. I have some Frozen Dinners that are 4 points, so I might have one of those.

I also like to eat Yogurt & Cereal, 2 WW Yogurt, and 2 portions of Flax Plus Red Berry Cereal is 10 points, I'd still have 1 point left.

It has been suggested that I keep track of what I drink too, so Starting tomorrow I'll start that.

More Later...

Not Enough Food?

Beleive it or not, After eating 1 1/2 cups of Chili (12 Points) & 1/2 Cup of Rice (2 Points) & eating a bag of Popcorn (1pt) while watching Kung Fu Panda, I was still 3 points short! So I made another 3 Point Turkey Sausage & Cheese on an WW English Muffin.

I'm headed to bed so Night all see ya tomorrow...

A Challenging Afternooon

After I went grocery Shopping I had to go back out to get m nephew something to eat. It was suggested that I go to Dukin' Donuts to get him a Bacon/Egg/Cheese Bagel w/ Hash Browns.

After I got it, I sent a Text to my "WW" Buddy letting her know that the hardest part of this is not eating every time I leave the House.

Fortunately I managed to make it home & I made myself a 3 Point Snack

Turkey Sausage & Cheese on a WW English Muffin. ( The TCP-WW-"McMuffin")

Total Points Remaining for the Day 19

Dodged that Bullet.

More Later.

1/1/09 Lunch

Well Before I go to the Store, (Which by the way is a usual time to grab Fast food or a big bag of Something, (Chips Pretzles, ect...)) I Decided to eat lunch.

I've made this before, I'm lucky it's very few points, however I'll have to keep the ingrediants seperate so I know how much Chicken & Veggies I'm eating.

I call this TCP Pot Pie w/o the Crust:

1 Can Campbells Cream of Chicken Soup (98% Fat Free) - 2 Points
6 oz Chicken Breast (Skinless & Boneless) - 6 Points (1pt / oz)
Mixed Veggies - Carrots/Green Beans/Cauliflower/Mushrooms - 1pt
1/2 Cup of Mixed Rice 2 points

11 Points Total for Lunch

20 For the Day

22 Remaining for the Day

29 Bonus Points remain for the Week

1/1/09 - Breakfast

Well Even though I managed to get through last night, It really sucked going over my points on the first day. I know I'm entitled to the 35 Points, but I was hoping to see if I could make it through the day w/o using them. I was thinking about using 2 per day at most, 1 WW Yogurt, & 1 Popcorn. We'll see if I could incorporate that into my normal routine.

Anyway here is my breakfast today.

Flax Plus Cereal (Pumpkin Seed) - 1 serving - 3 Pts.
WW Raspberry Yogurt - 1 serving - 1 Pt.
Nature Valley Trail Mix Fruit & Nut Bar -3 Pts.
2 Slices of WW MultiGrain Toast - 1 Pt.
1 TBSP Land-o-Lakes Light Butter w/ Canola Oil - 1 Pt.

Total Points - 9

Total Remaining - 33

Total Bonus Points remaining - 29

I might have to go for a long drive later which is usually a haven to eat the whole trip. I plan on popping a bag of Popcorn to have a point w/ me and keep me from stopping @ my favorite Fast Food establishment, oh wait, they are all my favorites...

I guess I'll try to keep it to main Highways.

More Later...

Happy New Year

Last Night I finnished the night with 1 point Popcorn.

48 points for the day.

Plan on sticking to 42 today.
