Not a bad day i had a chance to see Body Works the Brain as OMSI. Walked around the museum up and down stairs, parked a good distance from the entrance for the extra steps. I did use 10 of my weekly points to round out the day (no pun intended).

So the meeting topic was about stress, and let me tell you I might not be a stress eater, but after 3 Manhattans I was feeling a little better as i have a family member that is in the hospital under going tests. But all was tracked and I did use a few of my weekly points so all is good…..

This was an OK day. Needed to make a upplanned visit to a facility but other than that nothing exceptional. It was bowling league night and I did have some beer (I think it helped my game) all was tracked. Split an order of fries with dinner so that helped in keeping the points under control.

A long work day. I planned by packing my lunch to stay on track. When I got home I had a controlled and portioned dinner and opted out of the tortillas. I was under my points however I was satisfied and left it that way. I have been wanting something sweet, so I bought a large fresh fruit salad from the market no sugar just grapes, melons, pineapple and apples all cut up and easy.

A great beginning to my tracking. Added more power foods into my day and reduced my empty calories by half. Was very satisfied and I was able to keep well within my daily points plus allowance.

A nice end to the tracking week. I had a great Valentine’s Day and did not over do it by sharing a piece of chocolate cake with dinner. While I did make use of my Weekly Allowance points during the week I feel I was in control of my actions and am looking for continued success.
