The 700 stairs on Monday really did a number on my calves! I decided I would be worthless at Yoga or Jazzercise yesterday, so I skipped them both. I had decided to do no exercise at all when I got this text at about 5:00 pm.
“Walk?”
Damn. I knew it was actually the best thing for my muscles. It wasn’t a long one, but I did go on a 2.5 mile walk, and it was good to stretch out those muscles. This morning however, I could barely walk down the stairs when I got out of bed. What a wuss!!
Here are yesterday’s eats……
Pre-Breakfast – 1 PPV
Frothy Coffee on the deck! No humidity and it was wonderful!
Breakfast – 5 PPV
Light English Muffin, toasted, with Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge and fresh berries, Egg Whites and Salsa.
I’ll be having this Light English Muffin combo again!
Lunch – 8 PPV
Salad while working at the Food Truck. I’m loving Blueberries on just about anything lately!
Snack’s – 6 PPV
Love this crunchy little snack.
Snack – 2 PPV
Smoothie made with 1/2 C Skim Milk, 2 T. PB2 Chocolate, 1 frozen banana
Dinner – 6 PPV
Leftover from dinner the night before. Oven Fried Chicken with Honey Mustard Glaze, side salad and asparagus.

I can eat 26 PPV a day.
I can earn Activity Points by doing exercise, and eat them if I choose.
I have an allowance of 49 extra points that I can dip into throughout the week if I choose.

Today, I am feeling……….
“love the life you live, live the life you love”
Hi Ashley. I’m glad you like the blog. 🙂
I think a WW Leader would recommend always using the Recipe Builder to be accurate, especially if it is a food that you are eating a few times per week. An extra 2 points on an item consumed on a regular basis could really mess with your weight loss/maintenance efforts for the week.
If I’m tracking items individually, and my weight loss/gain/maintenance is going as expected, then I continue to track individually.
I hope that helps.
Two Salad dressings that I am loving right now are Trader Joe’s Cranberry Walnut & Gorgonzola. 2 T. = 2 PointsPlus.
Ken’s Steak House Greek Dressing. 2 T. = 3 PointsPlus, but I think 1 T. is plenty.
That Chicken was delicious and nice and crispy!
Have a great weekend.
Julie
still loving your WW based food blog! So, I still don’t understand why in the recipe builder the points are more than if you were to just put each ingredient in your tracker individually. For example your PB2 smoothie in the recipe builder is 5 points and if I just put it in the food tracker its 2 points. What do you go by?? Also, what salad dressing did you use on your dinner salad? looks delicious!! Thinking about making that chicken recipe this weekend!!! 🙂
Awe. Thanks! But seriously, what a wuss!
🙂
feel better!
Hope your first week back goes well!

I should of been moving my legs all summer long like you because this is the first day back at school and my legs do not want to move at all–this is pay back for a lazy summer.
Your legs will thank you down the road.
