Monday, 1/18 - Snack

It's snack time!

********

1 c. Cheerios - 2 pts.

1/2 c. 1% milk - 1 pt.

1/8 c. skittles (did I say 1/4 c. earlier? it's only 1/8 c.) - 2 pts.

Total: 5 pts.

********

Today's total: 23 1/2 pts.

I'm supposed to make it to 26. I feel like I ate a lot today. Maybe tomorrow I can add in some popcorn or a dessert with dinner.

Regarding water: I'm still working through that last big cup of water. I don't know if I'll finish it. I'll be up half the night, regardless, thanks to all the water I've had today. Sheesh.

Monday, 1/18 - Dinner, Dessert, and Water

Dinner:

Weight Watchers Three Cheese Penne Marinara -- 6 pts.

BIG glass of water

Total: 6 pts.

**********

Breakfast - 2 1/2

Lunch - 6

Dinner - 6

Snacks - 4

Total so far: 18 1/2

********

Since I can have 26 points, I'm planning on working for a while yet, then enjoying a little bowl of Cheerios and milk (4 pts.) and 1/4 cup of my greatest weakness, Skittles (2 pts.). That will bring my day's total to 24 1/2 points. I resisted eating Krispy Kreme today, even though I wanted to really badly!

********

Water intake: about 9 cups, after I finish my current big cup. Right on track.

Monday, 1/18 - Snacks

I went to Whataburger today to get out of the house. I can set up a little station for myself at a large table and grade and grade and grade without being disturbed, especially if I bring my Ipod. I am very happy to report that I didn't order any food, even though the patty melt was ever so tempting. I bought a diet coke and kept it filled so I could avoid buying any fatty foods. I also brought along 2 snacks that I ate at 10:00 or so and 12:00 ish. (I put off lunch until 2:00 when I got home.)

Fiber One chocolate mocha bar - 2 pts.

Special K blueberry crisp bars - 2 pts.

Total: 4 temptation-avoiding points
