What I ate today (1/31)

Woke up late, got to daycare late and got to work a little late.

Then my oats overflowed from their bowl in the microwave.

Awesome.

Fortunately, the day didn't get any worse. Oh, except my co-worker said I looked exhausted to which I replied no I just don't have any makeup on. Oh. Lovely.

Moving on.

Breakfast:

Savory oats (half on the oats) - 6 pts+ Still delicious though!

Snack:

Banana - 0 pts+

Lunch:

Slow cooker ravioli lasagna - 8 pts+

Since no ones else liked it I'm the sole eater of this carby meal. Still good but don't think it's as filling as my other lunches.

Thankfully, I had my new favorite snack.

Frozen grapes - 0 pts+

Cottage cheese (4oz) - 2 pts+

Dinner:

Panko Tilapia - 4 pts+

Carrots - 0 pts+

Asparagus - 0 pts+

Butter (1/2 tbsp) - 1 pts+

Sweet chili dipping sauce (not pictured) - 1 pts+

And now onto the star of the evening..

May I introduce the best blueberry banana smoothie ever!

Remember I made one this weekend that I ended up throwing down the drain? Well, I needed a recipe that used blueberries since I have a huge bag from Costco that I don't want to waste and I found a basic recipe on allrecipes.com. I altered it since I didn't want it to be too many points and I actually only had one point left for tonight. I ended up making this recipe:

1 banana - 0 pts+

1/3 cup blueberries - 0 pts+

1/3 cup milk - 1 pts+

1 1/2 tsp ground flax seed 0 pts+

A little ice and a little water

and voila! Yummy, creamy blueberry smoothie! For ONE point! Score.

So awesome. I seriously can't wait for tomorrow night to have another.

What I ate today (1/30)

Today was a good day. I restarted C25K and I went to my first ww meeting in 2 months. It feels great to get back into my running (taking it slow per the doc) and I can't wait to build my mileage back up. The meeting went well too. I was up by about 5lbs but the receptionist said I could change my goal weight since I was still within my healthy weight range and I could get my voucher for free e-tools. Best receptionist ever! I was a little wary about making my goal 140 since that is my "oh no" number but as soon as she said 135 I was okay =)

I still want to be lower but this gives me a cushion that I can work with. I really think my lack of running/exercising was messing me up plus of course by over eating but since I'm just getting back into working out I am very confident I can get back to where I was.. and better!

I pledge..

to take a picture of everything I eat for the next week. I was doing well on ww for the past week and then completely fell of the wagon tonight. I blame PMS but I also know it was just my weak willpower. Tomorrow I will start taking pictures of everything I consume and if I do forget I will at least take a picture of the bowl/container/etc. Hopefully that will help keep me somewhat accountable.

I feel so stupid to have gained back 10lbs of weight I had ALREADY lost. I've read everywhere that Maintenance is hard but you don't know until you're actually doing it. I would like to think if I didn't stop running that this might not have happened but who knows. I will find out on Thursday if I can restart C25K. I really hope he says I'm good to go! I've been taking ibuprofen and it seems to be helping a lot.

Well, see you tomorrow with all of my food pics =)
