March 1, 2010 - Day 57

Overall today was such a satisfying food and exercise day. I felt like I got a really nice workout in at Zumba (I think knowing the routines helps me a lot), and the food I ate today was do delicious. I like days like this.

For breakfast

3/4 of a multi-grain english muffin w/smart balance (110 calories; 2 points)

1/2 cup of coffee w/vanilla creamer (35 calories; 1 point)

For lunch

1 peanut butter and jelly on multi-grain bread (215 calories; 4 points)

Water

For dinner

Penne w/turkey sausage and peppers (275 calories; 6 points)
* This was so unbelievably good! Cam stuffed himself, declaring that he wouldn't be able to eat again until next Monday. Riley gobbled hers right up. And I am still feeling satisfied and happy after eating this meal. What a great recipe. Thanks, Parents magazine!

Water

Snacks

Garden Vegetable Wheat Thins (120 calories; 2 points)

1 Kashi trail mix bar (140 calories; 2 points)
* Both the Wheat Thins (which apparently is a new variety) and the trail mix are sooooo tasty!

1/2 cup coffee w/vanilla creamer (35 calories; 1 point)

1 chocolate donut hole (52 calories; 1 point)

So for today it's roughly:

Total Calories: 982

Total WW Points: 19

Total flex points left at the end of the week: 22.5 of 35

Exercise

Zumba!

200 ab crunches
* I'm trying out some new ab exercises. In addition to the ab lounger, which I'm still using, I'm trying to work on my side abs as well as my lower abs by doing some ab exercises I found in Shape magazine. Hard, hard, hard. :)
