It progresses... I think today I will actually have to struggle to get enough points to meet my minimum! Monday, I hit 25 - right where I need to be. Yesterday, I barely squeaked in at 27, and today, it's already 3:20 PM and I still need 17 points! We're going to have kindof a rich dinner, since we're down to the worst junk possible in the pantry, but even that is only going to bring me up to 16 total points, unless I have seconds (which I'm usually FAR too full to have.). I guess I could have a cookie or 2 after dinner to bring me to my minimum goal for today. Oh, I need to have my second milk serving too, so maybe just a cookie & milk. That will bring me up to speed.
I really like this "0 point food" thing. I had 1/2 cup of green beans just a little while ago, and boy were they good! I will be stocking up on green beans, celery, broccoli (just found a 3 point cheese soup recipe = YUM!), salad, salsa & tomatoes when we go to the store this weekend. Carrots, too. Sure, they cost, but I gotta have my carrots. ^_^ What's up, doc?
Popcorn is CHEAP, dollarwise...and not just the junky gross popcorn, either - the not-so-bad-for-you kind! Ice told me one kind that's only 1 point for a whole bag of it, so I'll probably get some of that this weekend too. ^_^ I also found a recipe for 3 point caramel corn, which is a nice treat once in awhile. Will have to get some low-cal syrup & convince +Kyle that I need low-cal margarine for that and other stuff.
It's too bad I don't do the shopping & cooking myself. I could sneak in all kinds of healthy stuff, and I bet he'd never notice.
I am soon going to make my usual Easter dessert - Strawberry Trifle. Someone mentioned making it in wine glasses, so I may try that instead of the huge bowl. If you make it by the regular recipe, it's like 5 points per serving (which is HUGE, btw.). I'm going to go as low-fat as possible without compromising flavour and see how it turns out.
I went through all our cereals, and Marshmallow Alpha Bits (hey, they were free) are ONLY 2 points per serving! I will probably take those to the movies tomorrow, since we're going on our engagement anniversary date. No need to spend extra money on junk that costs way many points. (Especially since I have to be REALLY good tomorrow.)
*thinks to look for something*
HEY! TGI Friday's has a website...but no helpful info. *emails them and looks on Google*
Got to get off here for now. Later later!
