Ahh Monday.

Ahh Monday. Always a sigh when it comes around again. Back to uni and reality!

Felt hungrier today, but that always happens when I'm about to hit a week being "good." I wasn't willing to give in and go over my points for that hunger though! I instead filled up on 0 point salads and soup to curb that hunger! Success!

I began the day with a blueberry smoothie and a new discovery - a toasted sandwich with ricotta cheese, salmon and peas! Sounds a bit out there, but it was delicious. I actually intended to have this combination on a baked potato, but I forgot to check the potato and it burnt a little. Ah well. Enjoyed 2 cups of air popped popcorn for a 1 point today too.

When I got home from uni today I was starving, and decided to use up a few of my points by making some ginger and date scones. I altered an existing recipe so it was low fat, and for 5.5 points I enjoyed 3 very filling scones with a little butter, yum! I've figured out that if I ever bake something I should just bake enough for me to eat right then and there, so I'm not tempted by it later!

Dinner tonight was left over veggie soup made into a pasta sauce over 100g of penne pasta. Before WW I had no idea about serving sizes, and what shocked me the most was how little a serving size of pasta actually is! 100g is about the amount of pasta I can fit into my hand. I reckon I used to eat maybe 500g of pasta for a meal? No wonder I was overweight!

I have 100g leftover for tomorrow night, and I think I might make a bit of a pasta salad with carrots, mushrooms, capsicum, onion and broccoli with 1 tab of mayo and 30g of feta cheese (4.5 points).

Well I'm off to have a cuppa (with cinnamon - try it, amazing!) and clean up before watching Biggest Loser! Night!
