Feeling Good……

We celebrated Easter with our kids and our grandkids last weekend, but Mike and I still had lots planned for yesterday that included two Easter Meals and a long drive. Mike has been sick all week, so we changed up our plans and we slept in yesterday. We had breakfast at home, chilled most of the day so he could get some rest, then we went to my mom’s for dinner. Since our plans changed a little, my food challenges were easier to tackle and I had time for a nice walk outside!

I’m trying to stick to 26 points a day this month, and I finished the day with 30. Not too bad for a Holiday.

I started off my morning with my Frothy Coffee in Pink for 1 Point.

I made an Egg White Veggie Omelet with a little Cheese and Avocado with a big bowl of fruit at around 11:00 for 5 Points.

For a snack, (or lunch, I guess) I had an apple and a banana with a dash of cinnamon for 0 points.

Then…Easter Dinner of Ham, Scalloped Potatoes, Green Beans, Salad, and a Deviled Egg for 15 Points.

After my meal, I was really looking forward to the cute little eggs that I had made on Saturday night and had thought about all day yesterday. I poured myself a cup of coffee, and prepared for dessert! I had one of my cookies and an unplanned brownie for a total of 8 Points. Then I had 10 jelly beans for 1 point while we sat around the dinner table chatting.

 

I had asked my mom what the menu was, so I had completely planned out my meal and entered it into my tracker before going to her house. I wasn’t quite at 26 points, so I had a few to spare for the unexpected. With the deviled egg, the brownie and the jelly beans, I went over on my points just a wee bit, but I’m feeling super successful about my weekend!
