Food Tracker for 2/5/2012

Ok, day ONE!!

I'm allowed 28 points per day and 49 flex points for the week

I knew the first day was going to be hard.  I also knew I had a package of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls calling to me from inside the fridge...with cream cheese icing....mmmmm.  Ok, stay strong!  Let's just see how bad ONE roll is.. I used the bar code scanner on my phone..





ok, so 4 points for 1 roll with icing... I can do that, and 1 cup of OJ was 3 points, so I had a heavy point breakfast topping out at 7 points- this tells me that I need to be frugal with my remaining meals for the day.

For my mid morning snack, I decided on a banana.  In my search bar, I typed in bananas and found them to be ZERO points!!!  Woo hoo!

 

4 POINTS used for this entire lunch!!!  And perfect on a cold snowy day!

  2 cups of leafy greens with 4 slices of Roasted Turkey lunch meat, 1 cup of Progresso chicken dumpling soup, 2 Tbsp of Fat Free Raspberry Pecan Vinaigrette dressing, and a Cherry Coke Zero.

Halfway through day 1 .. uh oh, here come my snack cravings .... and SUPER BOWL!

For 4 CUPS of the kind of popcorn I have is only 3 points, I have two kids, so I only got to have about 1 1/2 cups of this and it came out to 1 point.

It's right before dinner and I still have 16 points remaining- pretty good for my first day! AND for the fact I had a Cinnamon roll for breakfast lol!

I'm watching my neighbors kids this evening and she offered to make us dinner.  Ok here's the pressure, I might have to use some of my flex points b/c I have NO idea what she's bringing.  I'll have to break it down when she gets here..

Okay, Chicken Parmesean, not too bad. I only took a cup of the spaghetti (5 points), marinara was 2 points, chicken (I scraped the breading and cheese off) was 3 points.  Then again, as I had at lunch,  2 cups of leafy greens (zero points) with 2 tbsp FF Ras vinigarette 1 point. My cup of milk was 3 points. Total for Dinner 14 points. 



So 2 points left.... hmm.

So okay, it's 3 points for half a cup, but that's what my flex points are for!

That's today everyone!  See ya tomorrow!
