Hey all!

Happy New Year!

I was under my WW points yesterday by about 12 and was very happy about that. Didn't work out last night because my elliptial stint the night before left my quads and calves are still pretty achy. I'll walk on the treadmill tonight for 30 minutes or so.

Breakfast this morning:

Fruit smoothie made with orange juice, banana, and fat free yogurt.

Midmorning snack:
1 tillamook cheddar cheese snack (only 2 points!)
6 reduced fat triscuits
1 snack-size V8

Lunch:
Salad from US Pizza which contains:
lettuce
grilled chicken
olives
mushrooms
onion
green pepper
mozzerella cheese

I leave off the bacon bits and pick off most of the olives and all of the mushrooms. The dressing is TO DIE FOR but I only use half because it's super fat loaded (which is why it's good)

Dinner tonight:
breakfast for dinner!
Eggbeaters omelet with onion, green peppers, shaved ham, fat free cheese, basil, and red peppers
1 slice of wheat toast

Late night snack:
either a 60-calorie pudding cup or carrot sticks with a bit of ranch

As you can see, I don't cut out ALL fats because it usually leaves me feeling deprived. I also load up on water and chew gum from the time I wake up until I go to bed to keep my mouth busy.

I have a double whammy going on because I am also quitting smoking which makes for munchie-time.

Best of luck to all!
