Daily Report - 2/4/10

I'm pretty excited to weigh in tomorrow. I've had a successful week of eating, and will get a third workout in tomorrow before I go home and weigh myself (I'm hoping my boss will send us home early because of the predicted snow so that I can get to the gym early again).

However, I'm a little nervous because tomorrow is one of my school's infamous "Department Luncheons", for which each department takes turns hosting and preparing a meal for the faculty/staff. It's very fun, but there's no way of knowing what will be served and how healthy or unhealthy the options will be. The one good thing is that I work with a bunch of Trader Joe loving, organic eating, vegan/vegetarian health freaks (ok, that's a bit extreme), so I'm hoping that will work in my favor. I just need to remember to watch my portion sizes and not overeat.

I'm also nervous because I got my period today, which will inevitably make me more bloated than usual. Plus I was majorly craving chocolate all day and ended up creating home made chocolate sauce out of leftover Ghiardelli chocolates (inspired by Giada di Laurentes).

Here's what I ate today.

Breakfast:
  • Dannon light and fit vanilla yogurt (2 points)
Lunch:
  • Four Cheese Hot Pocket (5 points)
  • Apple (1 point)
Dinner:
  • Sandwich with whole wheat bread, 2 slices provolone (should've only had one), 3 slices turkey, small amount of mayo and mustard (12 points, ugh)
  • Tostitos, about 12, and salsa (3 points)
Dessert:
  • Edy's Low Fat Vanilla Ice Cream w/ chocolate sauce (10 points)
TOTAL: 33 points

Ok, so I went a little over, but that's ok. Technically I have 35 flex points, and I didn't go over my 31 points either yesterday or the day before. Plus I earned 6 activity points yesterday. Plus it was totally worth it for the chocolate. :)

In other news, I'm feeling great because I had a voice lesson today for the first time in about 4 years. It was totally awesome - I clicked with the teacher right away, and he had instant respect for the fact that I am a teacher myself. We were completely on the same page as one another, and I think he was impressed with me. He even asked if he could refer students to me, and gave me info about an upcoming vocal competition I might apply for! Very exciting and definitely something new and fresh to help motivate me. Yay!
