Sunday

Menu for today

Breakfast: banana, 1 instant oatmeal packet, 1 cup milk, multi-vitamin (7 points)
Snack: Fiber One bar, apple, V-8 (4 points)
Lunch: White Chicken Chili, 5 saltine crackers, 1 cup milk (8 points)
Snack: rootbeer, 1/2 cup carrots, 8 oz Frusion, ice cream sandwich, fruit cup, Fiber Chewables (8 points)

I actually did pretty good today especially considering it is treat day for the kids (they get 3 treats on Sunday night, 1 healthy, 2 not) and my husband made cream peas and potatoes (soooo yummy but soooo fattening). I did trade a cookie for the rootbeer but they had the same amount of points.

I haven't decided yet if I like the premade menu thing. There are definitely pros and cons to it. I am definitely eating TONS healthier because I am making sure I get the right amounts of the food groups. I like just knowing what to eat instead of wandering around trying to find something that "sounds good" (I have found that is what usually gets me into trouble because it is the not so good for you stuff that always sounds good). I can't really think of any concrete cons other than my mental block to having a preset menu. We'll see how it goes. Tomorrow is the first weigh-in!
