Today I struggled to stay in my points. I started off real good before going to church but lunch blew it. Well not blew it but it took a lot of points. We went to a local mom and pop steakhouse. I always get the greek hamburger steak and today was no exception. I ate my very small side salad with my dressing on the side. I did order fries ( you know these places have the best fries ) but I gave half of them away to my nephew as soon as the meal arrived. I also had one small piece of bread with butter. Unfortunately the munchies and feeling of unsatisfaction hit me about an hour and a half later. I ate a few one point items and decided to clean my car to get my mind off of food. As I began to think about my lunch meal, it dawned on me I had used alot of points on things that were not filling. For the past three weeks I have tried to make vegetables my main source at lunch and they are very filling. Today the vegetables were the small side instead of the main course, no wonder I was hungry so early.
How did I combat this at dinner? I made a delicious pot of one point vegetable soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Total dinner points was 5. YAY!
PROUD MOMENTS:
Making myself do something productive when I was wanting to munch.
Not blowing it the rest of the day when I knew I was low on points and being pro-active and making something filling and satisfying too without going over my daily points.
Making enough of the soup to have some for lunch tomorrow and freeze for another meal.
