Day 2

I woke this morning with a renewed purpose. I had made it through day one, back on WW, so today I wanted to start right out planning the points I was going to consume.

I started out with one egg for 2 points. It's so important to get good protein on board early in the day. What else, what else? Grits. I love grits and 1/4 cup has just 1 point. I had a slice of whole grain light toast with 1/2 tsp jelly for 1 points, and a grapefruit. The total for my breakfast meal, 4 points.

During the late morning, I panicked! What to make for lunch? I got out the books I'd gotten in class, with helpful hints, and then I made myself a deli turkey sandwich, on whole grain toast spread with 1/2 tsp of fat free mayo and 1/2 tsp of this wonderful stuff called "Cranberry/horseradish sauce! This was all for a total of 4 points!

I felt full and happy, and then Hubby asked what I was making for dinner? He was standing holding a bag of frozen shrimp, so I've been planning out a Chinese Stir fry meal using that! Shrimp is a great low point protein source, and right now we're getting shrimp up here in New England at a cheap price. $6.99 a pound!

Then I stood at my kitchen counter planning menus for the next three days! It's all planned, and I don't have to stress about it. Best of all, these are things I like to eat, so I am really happy!
