February 26, 2010 - Day 54

So, I was originally going to share with you the news that I ate egg yolks today for the first time in forever. Which is really exciting, because I've missed eggs! Stupid egg intolerance due to my over-indulgence while pregnant and nursing Riley. Seriously, I ate eggs every day for abut 5 months. Now while I didn't eat the egg whites (which is where I suspect I have most of my stomach problems), I was super excited that the egg yolks seemed to agree with me.

But, the bigger news is that today I went shopping and, get this, bought a pair of 6 jeans! Yep, you read it correctly! Size 6 jeans!!!!! Granted, I'm sporting a little bit of a muffin top, but they look awesome on me. I also bought a pair of size 8 jeans that went on super comfortably and also look fabulous. Rounding out the purchase with 2 new tops, and I feel awesome! What a way to keep me motivated to do more!

February 3, 2010 - Day 31

I so did NOT want to go to they gym today. I'm not sure why either. After I dropped off Riley at day care and trudged my way over (yes, I did go), I just kept thinking about how this was going to be torture. This trend continued while I was on the elliptical machine; I thought I was going to die. But, I got through it, thankfully. :)

For breakfast

1 high fiber banana nut muffin (170 calories; 3 points)

1 Light & Fit Strawberry yogurt (60 calories; 1 point)

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

For lunch

1 Smart Ones Mac and Cheese (270 calories; 5 points)
* This wasn't bad. In fact I liked it better than the Lean Cuisine variety (which is surprising since LC is made by the Stouffer's co. which makes an AWESOME frozen, non-healthy m&c).

Water

For dinner

1 ground turkey enchilada (345 calories; 7 points)
* Wow! This was REALLY good. I can't believe I've never had enchiladas before, let alone made them. This is especially surprising since I lived in Tucson for 10 years, but I digress. Cam's been wanting them and since I had no other ideas for today, I figured why not? Man. I totally could have gorged myself on these. However, I was good and just limited myself to one.

1 serving of sauteed yellow and red bell peppers (30 calories; 0 points)

Water

Snacks

1 square of (78% cacao) dark chocolate (57 calories; 1 point)

1 serving of cheerios w/skim milk (140 calories; 3 points)

Total WW Points: 21

Total "Flex Points" left for week: 33

Days left in flex points week (after today) : 5

Exercise

A little over 30 minutes on an elliptical machine

400 crunches - Nope, this isn't a typo. I just did 4 sets of 100 at different points throughout the day.
