I stayed OP yesterday! Hopefully I can keep it up! I had a change in dinner plans last night because the Spinach Lasagna was awful! I'm not a big fan of spinach but I thought the cheese would cover up the taste like in Spinach Artichoke Dip...umm...not so much! I took one bite and couldn't eat it. (DH liked it but he actually likes spinach...) So I ended up having a PB sandwich and milk after class. :)
I need to try and exercise today. I've never been a big exercise person but know I really need to. I can't wait to get my mom's treadmill because I know I'll use it. But until then, I'm going to start using the Wii Fit again. I'm aiming for an hour while the girls nap today. I'm also about to do yardwork which seems like exercise to me!
Breakfast: Fruit Loops with 1% Milk- 3.5pts
Snack: Tall Skinny Vanilla Latte- 2pts
Lunch: Homemade Pizza Pocket, corn, cantaloupe- 6pts
Dinner: Crockpot Chicken Enchiladas, chips, guacamole- 16pts (If I eat the whole thing which I doubt I will.)
Total: 27.5/29
Water: None yet. Aiming for 64oz.
Vitamin: Yes
Fruits/Veggies: 5
Exercise: 60 min on the Wii Fit.

Lunch: Steak sandwich and part of a small order of fries- 15pts
Dinner: Spinach Lasagna, salad- 9pts
Total: 27.5/29
Water: 32oz and about to fill up a 16oz glass again.
Exercise: None really because I have school tonight. We did walk around the mall though! LoL

Daily Log~ 9/2/08
Today is our Anniversary! We've been married 2 years and together for 5 today! :) I'd love to say we're going out and splurging on an amazing dinner but unfortunately, I have class right after work from 6-10pm. Hopefully we can celebrate this weekend.
This morning the scale showed a gain of 0.6lbs since last week's WI. Hopefully that will go back down by tomorrow but I'm not expecting much of a loss. This just means I have to try even harder next week!
Jason picked out the recipes for last night and not only were they low point, they were really tasty! I think we'll try making Chinese more often!
WI Day: Wednesday
Flex Balance: None
Daily Points: 29
Breakfast: Bagel with WW cream cheese- 4pts

Lunch: Turkey bologna sandwich, diced pears, pretzel sticks- 5pts
Dinner: Lite hotdog, bun, chili sauce, tater tots, cheese- 12.5pts
Total: 23.5/29
Water: Only about 8-10oz so far. Need to get drinking.
Exercise: None today. No time between work and school.

Fell Off Track...Again!
I'm having so much trouble staying on track lately! Between starting school this past week and Jason's birthday this weekend, I just haven't been sticking to plan. I have 2 days until WI so I'm picking it back up today and hopefully will still see a loss this week.
Avery's birthday is in less than a month and I'd really like to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight before than. That's about 4-5lbs. I know I can easily do that if I stick to plan.
Hopefully we can pick up that treadmill soon so I can increase my exercising too!
Any ideas on how to stay motivated to stay OP?

Daily Food Log~ 08/28/08
I had a pretty big breakfast this morning (bigger than I thought!) and dinner for tonight is also a pretty high point meal. I planned a very light lunch and should still be within points as long as I stick to it and don't snack on junk. :) The dinner is SO worth the points too!
Good news on the exercise front! My mom is giving us her basically brand new treadmill! I'm so excited! It's a pretty expensive one too. Jason is trying to figure out when he can go get it (along with a new recliner from her! Yay Mom!) and then I can really get going on the exercise! I'm back in school now so I have a lot of reading to do. Now I can walk on the treadmill while I read during naptime. Hopefully Jason can get it soon!
BTW, does anyone else think the serving size for pretzel sticks (like 32 sticks) is WAY too big? It's only like 2pts but I just can't usually eat that many. I always do a 1/2 serving...guess they're a good snack for the points!
Flex Balance: 35
Daily Points: 29
Breakfast: 2 whole wheat waffles, 1 egg with 1TBSP of cheese, 1 turkey sausage link, 1/2 apple, 2 TBSP sf syrup- 8pts
Lunch: Turkey bologna sandwich, diced pears, pringles- 8pts
Dinner: Shrimp Alfredo (2oz shrimp, 1/2 serving fettucine, 1/4 cup sauce. margarine for cooking), light garlic bread, salad (lettuce, carrots, olives, 1/8 cup cheese, croutons, Spicy Ranch)- 15pts
Total: 31/29 + 3AP
Water: At about 64oz now! It's SO hot today!
Exercise: After dinner 30 min walk with DH/Kids. Dancing with the kids this afternoon. :) And a lot of walking while holding a 25lb baby during errands! :)

Daily Log~ 8/27/08
I have school tonight so I'm posting for the whole day even though we haven't had dinner yet. I've close to meeting all my goals for the day (see prior post). Today is my day off from exercising because it's a school night and we don't have time for our walk before I have to leave. We still have 5 days a week to do it though. :) I didn't have a fruit at the start of my breakfast (see weekly goals!) because I hadn't gone to the store yet and we were out of everything.
Oh and my MIL brought over a 41 OZ bag (OMG!) of Skittles the other day. No idea why. A 1 and 3 year old do not need Skittles and her son is diabetic! GRR! Anyway, Hannah was throwing fits over them and I couldn't keep my hand out of the bag. So I put a couple of handfuls in a baggie to use for potty training and THREW THE REST AWAY!! Go me! Of course I had one last handful but I counted it. :)
WI Day: Wednesday
Flex Balance: 35
Daily Points: 29
Breakfast: 1 egg, 1 egg white (scrambled), 1 slice wheat toast, 1 turkey sausage link- 4pts
Snack: Skinny Vanilla Latte, handful of skittles 3.5pts
Lunch: Tortilla Chips, 1/4 cup cheese, canned corn- 6.5pts
Snack: Apple- 1pt
Dinner: Turkey Swedish Meatballs, WW fusilli (pretty low point!), salad (lettuce, baby carrots, black olives, bean sprouts, 1/8 cup cheese, croutons), 1TBSP Spicy ranch, grapes- 11pts
Total: 26/29- I'll either keep it at that in case of an overage at dinner or have a Luna bar at class if I'm starving.
Fruits/Veggies: 5
Water: Only 4 glasses so far but I'm about to fill up my 16 oz glass again. I'm also bringing a 32oz bottle to school tonight.
