Back to What Works

Sunday morning back to what works.  What works?  THE PLAN!  If I work the plan, the plan works!

Yesterday we went out to breakfast.  Yes, I was hungry, and I had a VERY BIG breakfast, which included several things I wouldn't normally eat.  The result, I blew through most of my points for the day.  Now, yes, I have to admit that come dinnertime, we didn't think we were hungry.  So we decided to make smoothies and head out for a little late afternoon shopping.  WARNING!  WARNING!  A smoothie IS NOT going to carry me through the rest of the evening.  Yep, I was hungry.  So we stopped for a fat-free, sugar-free frozen yogurt, "another treat". 

Result?  I went to bed still feeling hungry.   Reason?  Not enough protein during the day and too many carbs.  Lesson learned.....again. 

So this Sunday morning, it's back to what works for me.  What works for me, as I said, is the plan.  Hence, return of the omelette.

One egg (2PP), three egg whites (1PP), half ounce slice of naturally slender cheese (1PP), peppers, onion, mushrooms and spinach, one slice of Pepperidge Farms Carb Style bread (1PP).  5 PP breakfast and I'm ready to get this day going!

My plan for the rest of the day is to keep up the momentum.  Maybe one of these for lunch -

That's a "Reen's Way Sub", a nice 5PP roll, some sliced chicken and loads and loads of veggies", 7PP.

Dinner involves some Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage (4 PP per link) (grilled, if the weather is okay) and maybe a baked sweet potato or sweet potato fries, a salad and another veggie, possibly asparagus.

So today is all about doing what works, staying within my points, and enjoying the day.

Oh, yeah, and water, drink more water.  So it's more than a plan.  I will do it.  I am going to rest my head on my pillow tonight knowing that I did what I know works for my body.
