It feels great to have successfully completed a 16 point day, to make up for yesterday! And surprisingly, it wasn't a struggle at all! I planned, tracked, and ate 0 points foods when I was hungry, and actually had plenty to eat!
I began the day with weet bix, as it's low in points and very filling. I can always rely on weet bix to get me through to lunch time. I did my washing - had to hand wash everything because our washing machine has broken down - it is so hard hand washing towels! They get so heavy! After that, I began other housework - washing up, cleaning up the kitchen, vaccuming, mopping and cleaning the bathroom. I really worked up a sweat, and actually felt really great because of it.
Around 11:30am we went to the shopping centre, and I had sumo salad and a skim milk cappuccino for lunch. I just love a good skim milk capp. We did the grocery shopping, and when we got home I had every intention of beginning an assignment... until I found I couldn't open the template we had to use to complete it! So I'll have to do it at uni on Monday (it's due Tuesday night). I wasn't too worried, lol, and made some cupcakes instead (for my housemate, not for me!) They're cute little chocolate baby cakes with white choc icing and white choc flakes. But surprisingly not tempting, since I saw how much full cream milk, butter and oil went into them!
Had a lazy afternoon after that, watched 'In her shoes' with Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette and Shirley Maclaine - a real favourite of mine actually. I had a delicious dinner of toasted roast beef slices with mayo and cheese on an open salad sandwich. And a blueberry smoothie, of course!
Didn't weigh myself this morning, but will tomorrow morning, just to make sure me eating 3 points over, and then making up for it today has worked - I'm sure 3 points probably wouldn't have caused any weight gain anyway, but I'm so glad I decided to eat only 16 points today - I just feel heaps better about it. And there'll be times when I get to goal that I will either unintentionally, or intentionally eat over my points, and it's a good practice to make sure I exercise more or eat less in the days following to maintain. Something I haven't done before!
Tomorrow is another lazy, relaxing day, but it'll be great to have 19 points again! Might start with french toast with maple syrup for brekkie - yum!
