TGIF - Day 4

Not much happening foodwise today. Maybe I should be drinking more water. Also, I probably should start tracking my diet soda intake - I usually just don't count it - not even as water, just a nothing. I don't drink any most days but sometimes I go on a tear and drink three cans of soda a day and I know that is not good!



I tried the light cheese - it is a 50% fat cheddar - and it is okay. I will have to assess whether it is worth saving 1 point per serving. Probably when I have fewer points I will be forced to eat the 50% but it really is not as good.



Also I brought more snacks and they are veggies rather than more fruit. I will probably need to cut back to two fruits a day, and maybe even one as I get closer to goal, but for now I am sticking with my banana-plus-two.



Once again, no dinner plans but there were leftovers from yesterday and also some chicken left from the bird I cooked on Monday night. I thought maybe burgers would be good . . . 13.5 points left as of 3:30pm. We decided to go to the store when I got home from work and ended up with some thin sliced sirloin with homemade guacamole and tortillas. Pretty darn good!



And now, on to the challenge of the weekend!
