Today was a GREAT day.....CRAZY, but great!!! I managed to stay away from all of the chocolate fudge and peanut butter brownie cupcakes that I took into my referral sources. I think drool dripped down my face as they opened the boxes!! It's not a "never having them again" but it's a "no" for now!! My lunch was successful also!! I got an early start on the day and it felt wonderful!!

I love how gracious God is to extend his many blessings when we do our part and exercise even a small amount of discipline. It seems when one aspect of life goes down the right path then many other parts of daily life follow suit!! Definitely not rocket science......I'm kind of slow like that!! :-)

I'm going to keep tonight short......(yes....nothing short of a miracle from your long winded friend) and just go over my menu for today. Maybe it will give someone an idea or maybe someone will have an idea for ME!!!

Breakfast: mini brown sugar cinnamon whole wheat bagel (2pts) with 1 svg WW cream cheese (1pt) and a ww string cheese (1pt). I had some water and then....ouch....a diet coke!!

Lunch: ate at Cha Cha's Mexican Retaraunt (not to be confused with Cha Chos because that is fast food and we all know I am repulsed by fast food.....NOT....but I don't like that one). I had the avacado salad which consisted of: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avacado (4pts), and carrots, I added a small serving of borracho beans (0pts) and grilled chicken (2pts). I used lots of salsa as my dressing. It was yummy!! I ate literally 1 chip....first time in my life at a Mexican rest. that I only ate 1 chip....usually it's 2 baskets!!!

Snack: 2 WW string cheese (2pts), 1 oreo bar (1pt)

Supper: A super duper yummy messy Mexican marvel!! I had some diced grilled chicken in my freezer....leftover from a previous meal.....I saute'd it with a small can of green chiles and a bag of spinach....I drizzled a tiny bit of olive oil and lots of garlic powder, pepper, and some salt. When all of that was ready....I used 2 low carb mission tortillas (2pts), 1/2 cup of motz cheese (4pts), chicken/spinach mixture (2pts), a whole sliced tomato, and about 8 slices of jalapenos. I drizzled it with a little taco sauce and grilled the bad boy up!!! Ate it with a 1/4 cup of low fat sour cream (1.5pts)!! Boy was it yummy and boy was I full. After I made everyone else's (they were all outside playing basketball...so I ate in Entertainment Tonight bliss.....I ate about 10 dark chocolate covered acai/blueberry thingys from costco....it's like choc covered rasains on crack!!! (about 1.5 points)

It's a total of about 24-25 pts for the day....right where I want to be to include my bonus points. I have had all 6 cups of water and am off for a 2.5 mile jog!! Hopefully more water after that.

Please say 2 prayers for me if you read this.....it's almost dark and I'm off for a jog...safety....I'm not worried about strange people, but strange animals and bugs that come out at near dark!!!
Also please pray that I will get up extra early in the morning for a quiet time!!! I REALLY need it!!

Thanks friends....healthy eating!!! (ps....that was a kind of short post)
