Day 4

1-27-11

Feeling good today.  Jake only got up once to feed (2 a.m.), and woke himself up (10:45 pm, of course 10 minutes after I fall asleep… lol), and put himself back to bed after a few minutes of crying.  Hate it when babies cry, but he needs to be able to soothe himself back to sleep!

So excited for tonight.  I call it “date night”.  One my favorite shows is back up with new episodes… Vampire Diaries.  YAY!  Paul, Marlie, and Jacob know it’s an hour when mommy is supposed to be ‘off duty’, to just sit and relax and enjoy the eye candy ;)

Usually, Thursday “date night” means pizza night.  Also means, fend for yourself for dinner night because I don’t feel like cooking and cleaning up after.  I love pizza, but who doesn’t?  Marlie of course… What kid doesn’t like pizza?????  So, she’ll make whatever it is she’d like, and Paul will probably cook a pizza he likes.  I usually eat the whole (very thin) margarita pizza to myself (300 calories, 1 gram of fiber and 7 grams of fat per serving… 3 servings total.  So that is like 21 pts. on Weight Watchers.  OUCH!)  So, needles to say, I have cut out a bit for breakfast and snacking and lunch, so I could enjoy my pizza!  However, I will only eat 2 servings and enjoy it with a salad…

Daily Menu:

Breakfast:

1 cup of coffee with one tbsp of cream (BOOO): 1 pt.

Snack:

Protein shake with 6 oz 1% milk: 4 pts

Lunch:

2 servings of Progresso Italian vegetable soup: 1 pt.

1 slice Brownberry 12 grain bread: 2 pts.

2 oz turkey deli meat: 1 pt.

Mustard: 0 pts

Snack:

Luna Bar (Lemon Zest): 3 pts

2 cups 97% fat free butter popcorn: 1 pt

Dinner:

2 servings of pizza: 14 pts

Salad with 1 tbsp of salad dressing: 1 pt

Diet/caffeine free coke: 0 pts.

Snack:

2 eggos with whipped cream: 4 pts.                                               Total:  32

*** I get 2 pts for exercising/stretching 1 hour and 2 pts. for being active at my ‘job’ today.  Like it when my back allows me to clean and do what I need to do around the house!

So, I only used 28 pts… however, I took a few big bites of Marlie’s homemade spaghetti with meat sauce which probably cost me a couple of pts…  BUT, IT WAS SOOO GOOD!  I love my sauce!

Ok, so Vampire Diaries comes on after I’m in bed tonight due to some Mayoral debates…. Well, I guess I can watch it tomorrow while I work out.  A bit disappointed.  So much for my hour off =(

Just trying to tire Jake out so we can go to bed.  Paul and I are exhausted!
