February 9, 2010 - Day 37

I'm definitely on a muffin kick lately. It's just so easy - the serving size is there for you already. If I make bread, then I run the great risk of thinking, "Oh, I can just take another little sliver." Plus you can put lots of good stuff in them. Today I made zucchini muffins. They were okay, but not great. Riley loves them though, which is good since they are full of zucchini! I even made it healthier by replacing the oil in the recipe w/apple sauce which apparently is a common substitute. Who knew?

I also found that if I spend time in the kitchen cooking/baking, then I eat less. I guess if I'm just around the food then I'm happy. It also helps when I get myself out of the house, which is why I'm always outside with Riley or taking her to the library (as I did today) or to the store.

For breakfast
  • 1 high fiber oatmeal (160 calories; 3 points)
  • 1/2 cup of coffee w/vanilla creamer (35 calories; 1 point)

    For lunch
  • 1 bowl of cheerios w/skim milk (140 calories; 3 points)

    For dinner
  • 1 broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken (175 calories; 3 points)
    * I don't really know how much this is worth calorie-wise, but it's around 3 points for the meal, so I estimated off of that.
  • 1/2 serving of steamed broccoli (25 calories; 0 points)
  • Water

    Snacks
  • 1 diet hot chocolate (25 calories; 0 points)
  • 1 Smart Ones Peanut Butter cup sundae (170 calories; 3 points)
  • 1/2 of a zucchini muffin (60 calories; 1 point)
    * I'm going to try these again with a new recipe.

    So for today it's roughly:

    Total Calories: 790

    Total WW Points: 14

    Total flex points left for week: 35

    Days left in flex points week (after today) : 6

    Exercise
    Nothing, except for playing outside w/Riley
