What a day…

It has been a nutzo day. First, I woke up from a crazy dream involving Cliff Lee, crack babies and L.A. Then, I called an admissions office at FSU and this lady kept calling me a liar without any context or knowing who I was. I also thought (like the rest of our class) that we had this pop exam that our professor has been talking about all semester. I studied all afternoon and we didn’t have it today. (Bad grade averted.) So it’s been a crazy start to the week but I have a good feeling the week is going to get better. Let’s talk about some food!

Breakfast: We bought Kashi Honey Sunshine again (so awesome!) I was 3.5 points with skim milk. SO GOOD!

Lunch: I warmed up the always awesome Amy’s Tamale Verde and then added some Wal-Mart salsa (I know I’ve said it before, but Wal-Mart salsa is so good and so cheap!) It was 9 points.

Snack: A while back, I Kashi had a promotion to trade a “bad snack” (which was just a picture gallery on their website of unhealthy things online) for one of their products. It finally came in the mail the other day in this package shown with the Kashi snack that I chose, and a $1 off coupon for a box of any Kashi bars. The PR side of me really liked this promotion because it was cost effective and gave consumers that wouldn’t fork over the money for something healthy a chance to try them for free. The aspiring health nut side of me really really liked it for pretty much the same reason. Our society has grown accustom to 99¢ McDonald’s burgers so anything that’s more than that isn’t worth it because it doesn’t make you full. We need to get away from the idea that we have to be full all the time and that spending a little extra now will save you in blood pressure pills and hospital visits in the future. (The documentary Food Inc., which is what got Megan and I to initially look more closely at what we were eating, covers the subject and it’s really interesting. If you haven’t seen it yet, definitely watch it.)

Snack: While studying at Starbucks (which is becoming a Monday afternoon tradition) I had an Iced Chai Tea Latte (4 points) and my sample Kashi Trail Mix bar with cranberries (2 points) I was nice and gooey. So delicious and filling.

Dinner: (Speaking of tradition) we went to Chick-Fil-A for college night. I had the 8 piece nuggets (6 points) and a small fry (7 points which is way too many points for not that much fries. ) We use to split a large fry which was 5 points for half and I think it might have been more fries so we might need to go back to doing that. Oh yeah, and 2 packets of BBQ sauce (2 points)

I came out to 33.5 points so only .5 over which wasn’t too bad for eating out one meal. See ya tomorrow.

(Quick side note. Has anyone watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks? What a trippy movie.
