February 19, 2010 - Day 47

I couldn't resist - I was intrigued to know, even though I usually go a whole week without checking. So, my weight update is 136.2 lbs.

So, now officially my weight loss exceeds the amount of weight I still want to lose. Woo-hoo! On to the size 8 jeans now!

For breakfast

Strawberry fruit and grain bar (130 calories; 2 points)

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

For lunch

Grilled cheese on multi-grain bread w/fat-free cheese (200 calories; 3 points)

1 clementine (40 calories; 0 points)

Water

For dinner

Shrimp and Zucchini with Ziti in Light Tomato Sauce (450 calories; 8 points)
* I'm a little unsure of the points/calories here. Listed on the recipe I used, it said 440 calories (I upped a bit since I put a little cheese on) but 5.5 WW points. I have no idea how she got that. Granted I don't know the new formula for WW, but still. So, I just put it up to 8. Better to be safe then sorry.

Water

Snacks

High fiber blueberry muffin (160 calories; 3 points)

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

A small handful of animal crackers (50 calories; 1 point)

So for today it's roughly:

Total Calories: 1100

Total WW Points: 19

Total flex points left for week: 35 of 35

Days left in flex points week (after today) : 3

Exercise

A little over 30 minutes on an elliptical machine

200 ab crunches

January 29, 2010 - Day 26

Whoah! Today was an intense exercise day. Not only did I do my normal routine, I also tried out a Zumba class at the local Y. Man did that kick my butt! It wasn't just that I didn't know the steps (although I was able to pick them up pretty quickly); it was that we never stopped moving. Well, we did, but that was just for the song to change. So we had a 15 second break or so about every 3 minutes. And for those 3 minutes, we were going - it was definitely high impact for sure!

For breakfast

1 english muffin with peanut butter (220 calories; 5 points)

1 clementine (40 calories; 0 points)

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

For lunch

1 grilled cheese sandwich on multi-grain bread (240 calories; 5 points)

Water

For dinner

1 serving of sauteed shrimp (190 calories; 3 points)

1 serving of brown rice and quinoa w/sauteed peppers and onions (120 calories; 3 points)

Water

This whole dinner was super yummy! Not bad for not knowing what to do with the shrimp I took out early this morning. :)

Snacks

1 serving of WW ice cream (140 calories; 2 points)

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

Total Calories (roughly): 1010

Total WW Points: 20

Flex points left: 33

Days left in "flex points" week: 4

Exercise

About 30 minutes on an elliptical machine

100 crunches

1 hour Zumba class

More housework - I was listening to my iPod while doing this, and I *know* there was dancing around in there. :D
