I did not eat breakfast before my meeting today. I also ended up wearing my winter boots and not my sneakers today. I also didn't have to go to the bathroom before I got weighed (I know...TMI, but grrrrrr). So, in light of all that, I took my boots off to get weighed.
I lost 3.6lbs, but figure some of it is the lack of footwear, lol. I'm sure it will even itself out next week. I also lost another Points Plus of food, so my Daily Target is now 34.
I brought oatmeal with me to the meeting. One packet (4P+) with a banana mixed into it, and two cups of skim milk (4P+). Due to the snow storm, the center was open but our meeting was not being held, so I got weighed in and left. I headed home and ate my oatmeal on the way home. I also stopped at Toys R Us and Walmart to get some things. I think I was one of three people shopping at Toys R Us, lol!
For lunch I had one serving of the Mexican Meat mixture I made up the other night (4P+) and scrambled two Eggland's Eggs (3P+) to have with it. I mixed them together and tossed in some picante sauce, and it was really good. I also had two cups of skim milk with it (4P+).
I was then an very lazy bum and went to my room and crawled into bed to watch tv. I fell asleep, and napped for about 4 or 5 hours. I woke up around 9pm and was hungry, so I had a bowl of cheerios (5P+) and two cups of milk (4P+). I stayed up for a bit, watching tv and on the computer, then made myself a small bag of microwave kettle corn for a snack. I had that (3P+) and two cups of milk (4P+), and fell asleep about midnight, and slept till morning, lol.
I ate 35 Points Plus today, using 1 of my Weekly Points Plus Allowance, leaving me with 48 for the week.
Heading to a cake show and competition the end of this week, in NJ, so those WPA's will come in handy!

Day 56, Mon Jan 31st: A new Food to try!
I was going to have oatmeal for breakfast when I got up this morning, but was too focused on getting the car packed up and the teacher to the airport that I didn't feel hungry.
I got all my stuff down to the car and loaded up by 8:30 or so. The teacher met me downstairs at the car at 9am, and we proceeded to figure out how to fit her suitcases and boxes (to ship home) in the car. Miraculously we got it all packed in. Here's a picture of what the back of my car looked like when we were done. The rest of it looked just a packed in!
We stopped at the post office so she could mail some boxes home, then at the gas station to get gas, then headed to the airport.
I dropped her off at about 10:30 and headed home. It was then that I realized I was starving! I decided to try McDonald's new oatmeal that I've heard so much about. So, I stopped and got one (with the brown sugar added) (7P+), and asked them for skim milk, and was served low fat milk. I figured, oh well, I want milk. So I had one cup of low fat milk also (3P+). It was pretty tasty! It has apples, golden raisins and craisins in it.
I was starving when I got home, so I heated up some lunch. I had three ounces of steak tips (6P+), half a cup of coconut rice (3P+), half cup of broccoli and cheese (1P+) and two cups of skim milk (4P+). I also had a frosted cupcake that someone had given to me (7P+).
For dinner I cooked up two Jennie-O turkey burgers, threw in a back of VegAll frozen southwest veggies (corn, peppers, black beans), and a cup and a half of the coconut rice. I cooked it all up and added some picante sauce to it. I divided it into four servings when it was done.
I had one serving of the Mexican Meat (4P+), one serving of the lavash bread (1P+), a tablespoon of sour cream (1P+) and two cups of skim milk (4P+). I really think it should have been two servings made from what I cooked up, because it wasn't very much food, and wasn't very filling.
I had a packet of oatmeal (4P+) with fruit, and two cups of skim milk (4P+) for a snack later that night.
I ate a total of 49 Points Plus for the day, using 14 of my weekly Points Plus Allowance, leaving me with 6 Points Plus uneaten for the week. Weigh-In day is tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Day 55, Sun Jan 30th: Cake Meeting Day
Today was our Meeting Day. It is an all-afternoon affair with lunch, business meeting, demonstrations and this time we had a yard sale afterwards.
I started the day with oatmeal and fruit (8P+) and two cups of skim milk (4P+). I was actually craving oatmeal - I don't think I've eaten it in two days!
There was also another class this morning, but I spent my morning running around setting up for the meeting this afternoon.
The lunch buffet consisted of rice, fish, chicken broccoli alfredo, rolls, cheesecake, soda, etc.. I had a half cup of the rice (3P+), a piece of the fish (4P+) and a few bites of the alfredo (1P+). I did not get the cheesecake, again. As the Chapter rep, I am the one that runs the meeting and does most of the talking. This makes me extremely nervous, so I am not apt to eat at much as I normally would. I had water to drink with my lunch.
After the meeting, and after everything was cleaned up and all my crap was back in my room, the teacher and I went out to eat for dinner. She wanted to try the 99, so we went there.
I had their turkey tips (without the extra glaze) and ate about half of them (10P+), a plain baked potato (3P+) with a tablespoon of sour cream (1P+). She got sweet potato fries with her order and insisted I have some (4P+). I had water to drink with my meal.
After I got back to my room, I had two cups of skim milk (4P+). Later I was hungry and had a packet of oatmeal (4P+) with grapes, and two cups of skim milk (4P+).
I ate 49 Points Plus today, using 14 of my Weekly Points Plus Allowance, leaving me with 20 for the rest of the week.

Day 54, Sat Jan 29th: A Day of Cake Classes
Started the day with breakfast at the hotel restaurant. They had a breakfast buffet set up with eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, waffle maker, pancakes, cereal, fruit and I think some more stuff.
I chose to have scrambled eggs (5P+), a quarter cup of potato hash browns (2P+) and a cup and a half of skim milk (3P+). I also had some of the fresh fruit they offered.
Then is was off to class to learn how to quill with gumpaste (a sugar paste).
After class, lunch was served. It consisted up roll up sandwiches cut diagonally in half. They also offered potato salad, garden salad and cheesecake for dessert.
I had a half of a sandwich (7P+) and water to drink. I estimated what was in the sandwich and counted the best I could. I declined on dessert, knowing that cheesecake would not be point-friendly.
One of my room-mates took the afternoon class, which was making flowers out of gumpaste. The other one and I just kind of hung out in the closed restaurant for the afternoon. We did run out to get milk for me, but didn't do much else.
After the class was over, we hung out a bit in our room, then decided to head to 99 for dinner. I thought about looking up their menu and nutrition information online before we headed out, but opted not too. Boy do I wish I had!
I ended up ordering the Cedar Plank Salmon with jasmine rice and steamed broccoli. Now, I know salmon is pointy, but it's good for you. I also know that salmon is usually a good choice in a restaurant. What I did not know, was Cedar Plank Salmon at the 99 has a glaze on it. I looked it up when I got back to the hotel, and the 6oz piece of salmon was 20 Points!!!!! Yes, you read that right - 20! The same size piece of salmon, plain, is 9 points, so I don't know what kind of glaze was on it. It did not taste overly sweet, or I would have suspected it. I only had half the rice (3P+) that was on my plate. I also had water to drink with dinner.
Miraculously, I was not hungry later that night, but felt like snacking. So I had some grapes and skim milk to drink (4P+).
I ate 44 Points Plus today using 9 of my Weekly Points Plus Allowance, leaving me with 34 for the rest of the week.

Day 53, Fri Jan 28th: A Crazy Day
Today was a crazy day. I belong to a national cake decorating group, and am the head of our State Chapter here in Massachusetts. We hold four meetings a year, usually consisting of classes on Saturday and our meeting on Sunday. This weekend is one of those. We get cake decorators from all over the country to come and teach for us. This time, we have someone from Michigan flying in. I offered to pick her up at the airport and bring her back for her flight home. I have opted to stay at the hotel the meeting is at, it's just easier that way. As the rep for the Chapter, it is also my responsibility to bring a lot of the necessary stuff to the meeting, and as such, my car was chock full, just about to the ceiling.
I spent last night packing the car up, so I could just leave today. I have to get to the hotel, unload all the stuff from the car, and get to the airport by 3:45pm to pick up the teacher. I also had some stops to make along the way at Walmart and Staples.
I had breakfast before I left. I had two servings of Multi-Grain Cheerios (5P+) and two cups of milk (4P+). I should have thought ahead and packed some oatmeal in my travel mug for later, but didn't think of that. I did bring oatmeal and grapes for snacks for the weekend.
I ran my errands, and got to the hotel by about 1pm. I unloaded the car and brought everything up to my room, and met with the Sales Manager to go over some room changes. I had figured I'd have to leave the hotel by 3 in order to get to the airport on time. I left about 2:45pm so I could find some food, since I was starving by now. I ended up stopping at Subway, and getting their egg white Western Omelet sandwich on flat bread (9P+). I got it and sat down to eat. I decided to check the flight to make sure it was on schedule, and found out it was early! So, I grabbed my food and headed out the door and ate it while driving to the airport.
Got to the airport just on time, parked and met the lady at baggage claim. Good thing I had emptied the car out - she had two big suitcases and her carry on.
We headed back to the hotel, and got there in time to meet a few other decorators that were going to be rooming with me for the weekend.
We all decided to have dinner in the hotel restaurant that night. I ordered steak tips, plain baked potato and steamed broccoli. The steak tips were so salty, I couldn't eat most of them. I estimated that I ate about three ounces of them (6P+), the entire baked potato (5P+) and a smidgen of full-fat sour cream (1P+). I had water to drink.
I had a pudding snack (3P+) later that night that one of the other ladies had brought. I was craving milk so bad, but was too lazy to go out and find some, so the pudding seemed the closest thing to milk.
I ended up eating 33 Points Plus today, leaving 2 Points Plus uneaten. I still have 45 of my Weekly Points Plus Allowance left.

Day 52, Thurs Jan 27th: Snow Day!
It snowed yesterday, a lot. So, today was snow shoveling day!
I started the day with two Eggland's Best eggs (3P+), scrambled and two cups of skim milk (4P+). For lunch I ended up having two servings of Multi-Grain Cheerios (5P+) and two cups of skim milk (4P+).
After lunch, I decided to head out to shovel snow. There was a lot of it! In the midst of shoveling, I was clearing the end of the driveway. I was standing, back to the road, shoveling snow. I heard what I thought was a truck coming up the road. Next thing I know, I am getting a shower, and am covered head to toe in WATER from the snow plow! My whole back was drenched and soaking wet. It was cold! I decided that I would finish the end of the driveway before changing, since I figured the same thing was likely to happen again. So, I finished, went in and changed, then went back out to finished the driveway, a safe distance from snow plows. I estimated that I spent about an hour total shoveling snow today - than earned me 7 Activity Points!
Dinner ended up being pasta (4P+), spaghetti sauce (1P+), some steak tips (5P+) and two cups of skim milk (4P+). I didn't feel like meatballs, so opted for the steak tips.
I was hungry later and had a packet of oatmeal (4P+) with some fruit, and two cups of skim milk (4P+) as a snack.
I ended up eating 40 Points Plus today, using 5 of my Activity Points that I earned. So, I didn't dip into my Weekly Points Plus Allowance, leaving me with 45 weekly Points Plus.

Day 51, Wed Jan 26th: More food pics!
I started the day with two servings of Multi-Grain Cheerios (5P+) and two cups of skim milk (4P+).
For lunch I made steak tips. I had 4oz of steak tips (7P+), 2/3 cup of Green Giant Broccoli & Cheese (1P+), a half cup of coconut rice (3P+) and two cups of skim milk (4P+).
Dinner ended up being two packets of Quaker Weight Control oatmeal (8P+) with some fruit, and two cups of skim milk (4P+). I was hungry later, so made a small roll-up sandwich. It had on serving of Lavash bread (1P+), one tablespoon of Kraft Free Ranch (1P+) and one serving of Oscar Mayer lunch meat (1P+).
I ended up eating 39 Points Plus today, using 4 of my Weekly Points Plus Allowance, leaving me with 45 for the week.

Week 7: Weigh-In Day
I decided last night that I was going to try eating a small breakfast before going to my meeting and weighing in. I know, I know, this goes against what most people believe. It goes against what I believe too, however, I'm tired of having wicked headaches from waiting too long to eat. So, I reasoned that a one ounce serving of cheerios and a half cup of milk would not be so bad. It only weighs about 5 ounces, that's less than half a pound. Plus, it'll only hurt this once, and then I can continue to eat each week. So I did just that, and headed off to my meeting.
I had one serving of Multigrain Cheerios (3P+) and a half cup of skim milk (1P+). I also brought oatmeal with me to eat before my meeting started. I brought two packets of oatmeal (8P+) with fruit in it, and two cups of skim milk (4P+). I thought I'd be smart and toss the frozen fruit in the hot oatmeal while it was still frozen. Well.....when you do that, the frozen fruit sucks the heat out of the hot oatmeal....how did I learn this? It was quite apparent when I opened my oatmeal and it was stone cold. Yes, that's right folks, stone cold oatmeal. I have to say, it is not nearly as gross as it sounds! Yes, I ate it. I was starving, and when you're starving you will eat just about anything that is remotely edible.
My leader gave us a great, easy peasy, recipe today. It was for Shrimp Fra Diavalo. Now, I love this in a restaurant, and once upon a time tried to make it on my own. I simply added ground chili peppers to my spaghetti sauce...and added way too much! I took one bite and couldn't eat anymore - ended up rinsing the food off and eating it plain.
The recipe she gave us was fantastic! One serving of pasta, as much shrimp as you like, and Classico Spicy Red Pepper sauce. It was so good, and not overly spicy. It was devine! It consisted of 5oz cooked penne (5P+), 4.5oz shrimp (3P+), and two cups of skim milk (4P+).
I ended up only eating 28 Points Plus today, missing my target by 7 Points Plus. That means I still have 49 Weekly Points Plus Allowance left.
So how did I do? I lost 1.8lbs this week. I was happy, considering I had eaten breakfast before getting weighed.

Day 49, Mon Jan 24th: A New Breakfast (Sort Of)
I love breakfast foods. I could eat them all day, and sometimes I do, lol. I tried something a little different today for breakfast. I wanted an egg sandwich, but didn't want to eat that many Points. So, I made one half of an open faced egg sandwich. It turned out so good!!!
I toasted a slice of Arnold Oat Nut Bread (3P+), and spread it with a little ketchup (I love ketchup and eggs), and placed a slice of Kraft American Cheese on it (2P+). I fried up one Eggland's Best Egg (2P+) and also placed that on top. I heated up two of my breakfast sausages (3P+) to have with my open faced sandwich. I washed it all down withe two cups of skim milk (4P+). It was soooooo good! I ate it with a fork and knife, rather than trying to pick it up and wearing most of it.
Lunch was some leftovers from the other day. I had a serving of the chicken satay (7P+), a half cup of the coconut rice (3P+), and a third cup of black beans (1P+) mixed in with the rice. I had water to drink with lunch.
Dinner was pretty unexciting, lol. I had two servings of Multi-Grain Cheerios (5P+) with two cups of skim milk (4P+) and some fruit.
For a snack before bedtime, I had two packets of Quaker oatmeal (4P+) with fruit mixed in, and two cups of skim milk (4P+)
I ended up eating 42 Points Plus for today, using 7 of my Weekly Points Plus Allowance. Tomorrow is weigh-in day, so we'll see how I did!

Day 48, Sun Jan 23rd: A Belated Christmas Party
Today I was invited to a belated Christmas Party at Janet's parents house. Why is it a belated Christmas party? Because everyone kept getting sick, so it was postponed a few times, lol.
I made myself pancakes for breakfast (6P+), and washed them down with two cups of milk (4P+). I also cooked some frozen fruit on the stove, with a little bit of cornstarch to thicken them, and put that on top of the pancakes.
I found out ahead of time, what was going to be served at the party this afternoon, so had a packet of oatmeal (4P+) with some fruit mixed in, on my way to the party, so I would not be starving when I got there.
So, what was at the party? Yummy chicken, brocolli and ziti that Janet made! She is an awesome cook, all her food always tastes so good. I suspect it's the butter that she puts in stuff, but I try to ignore that, lol. She also made what the family called 'crack rolls'. It is dinner rolls, cut in half, and spread with a butter/parmesan mixture. OMG they are delicious!!!! I had one half of a roll, and let me tell you, it was not easy to only eat one! It did help that her brothers ate most of the rest, hahahahaha. So, I had about a cup and a half of the alfredo (16P+) and one half of a dinner roll (5P+), and water to drink. I also had a small slice of Boston Cream Pie (which is really a cake) (6P+) and a cookie that her mom baked (3P+).
I, of course, was hungry later, after I got home. I had some of yesterday's leftovers, a serving of the chicken satay (7P+), a half cup of the coconut rice (3P+), and two cups of skim milk (4P+).
I ate 58 Points Plus today, using 23 of my Weekly Points Plus Allowance, leaving me with 13 Points Plus for the rest of the week.
I made myself pancakes for breakfast (6P+), and washed them down with two cups of milk (4P+). I also cooked some frozen fruit on the stove, with a little bit of cornstarch to thicken them, and put that on top of the pancakes.
I found out ahead of time, what was going to be served at the party this afternoon, so had a packet of oatmeal (4P+) with some fruit mixed in, on my way to the party, so I would not be starving when I got there.
So, what was at the party? Yummy chicken, brocolli and ziti that Janet made! She is an awesome cook, all her food always tastes so good. I suspect it's the butter that she puts in stuff, but I try to ignore that, lol. She also made what the family called 'crack rolls'. It is dinner rolls, cut in half, and spread with a butter/parmesan mixture. OMG they are delicious!!!! I had one half of a roll, and let me tell you, it was not easy to only eat one!
