Food Tracker for 2/6/2012

Day 2

Well, I'm still here, and so are you!  Not scared away yet? YAY!

Today my breakfast was delayed because I wanted to see what "diamonds in the rough" I could find at Walmart with my cool bar code scanner on my phone.  Hopefully I can find a way to transfer all the items I've scanned and share the point info with you, but that will all have to be on a later day.  On to the tracking...  remember, I only have 28 points for the day.

My favorite bagel is the Cinnamon Raisin from Sara Lee.  Unfortunately, it maxes out at 7 points just for ONE bagel.  This is a prime example of why I love Weight Watchers as opposed to the other diets.  You can still manage to have the foods you love... just be prepared to adjust the portions.  I solved this minor setback by only having HALF of the bagel, which only cost me a simple 3 1/2 points, and I was satisfied! 



Until I get some 0 point spray butter or powder butter for my cravings, this will have to do.  This butter is only 1 point for every Tablespoon used.  I actually thought this was alot of butter just for a half of a bagel, but it tasted sooooo good!

So my morning only consisted of 4 1/2 points.  That was ok, because, like I said, I had a late breakfast and lunch was right around the corner. 

For lunch I decided to get a little experimental.  I used my Fat Free Italian dressing which is 0 points, marinaded my chicken breast (3pts) in it, and baked it for 25 min at 350 degrees.  Meanwhile, I threw a baked potato, measuring at 3 points, into the microwave for 4 min.  Topped the potato with another spot of Lite butter (1pt).   As for my fruit, I had a 0 point applesauce along with some grapes (also 0 points).  As I did yesterday, I followed that all down with my daily Coke Zero Cherry soda (0 points)

So after lunch, I have used a total of 11 1/2 points for the day.  A whopping  16.5 left for my snack, dinner and dessert.

Okay, these were a mean, teasing treat.  These little brownie snacks were only 2 points.  The SIZE, however, is about the size of a credit card.  I took .... my..... sweet.......chocolate craving... time eating it. 

14.5 left.  On to dinner at my folks.



My Mom made homemade chili that is very similar to Wendy's Chili.  On the weight watchers site, it tells me that 1 serving (1 cup) of Chili is 5 points.  I usually LOVE piling shredded cheese, sour cream and tons of crackers in my chili with a HEFTY glass of ice cold milk, but, as I stated above, portion control is the key.


One cup of chili (5 pts), 1 cup of 1% Milk (3pts), 5 saltine crackers (2pts) and a handful of carrot sticks (0 pts)

Totaling my dinner at 10 points

That leaves me 4.5 left!  And, as I hate to waste points, it is now 9:45 pm.  Laundry is to be cleared off the bed (in a fashionable manner), blog is complete, dishes are done, and I am spent. 

Goodnight to all.  Thanks for reading :)

Oh! and just in case you missed it Sunday night, this was a very inspirational and motivating commercial that applies very well to my journey ;-)
