Greetings! (I’m trying a new opening every time.)
Breakfast:
This morning I tried to cook some eggs and for the first time I burned the crap out of them some how. The smell was unbearable lol. Luckily, I bought a Lean Cuisine Denver omelet sandwich. It was pretty bad, processed eggs are not my favorite and that’s all it was and for 5 points it was not worth it.
Lean Cuisine Denver Omelet Sandwich: 5 points
Glass of Orange Juice: 3 points
Lunch:
It felt like I hadn’t eaten out in like forever (it’s been like a week lol) andI had some time to spare so I ate at the Pollo Tropical on campus. Now I don’t know a lot of Spanish, but I’m pretty sure Pollo Tropical could be translated as “Grilled Chicken Awesomeness” it was fantastic. I had the 1/4 chicken combo with black beans and rice and a roll. Usually I would eat the whole thing including the plate and silverware, but I’m slowly developing this mindset that it’s okay to eat until you are full, but not stuffed. If you say “well Nathan, I have to get my moneys worth!” The reality is that you’ll never get your moneys worth because food is marked up too high anyways. That use to be my mindset too. Anywho, I only ate half of the rice and didn’t eat the roll so I’m pretty proud of myself.
Pollo Tropical 1/4 Chicken Dark Meat w/ Skin: 7 points
1/2 of the Entree White Rice: 2 points
The Entree Serving Black Beans: 1 point
Snack:
Banana: 2 points
Dinner:
Megan made her famous (well… famous to me) grilled chicken and grilled vegetables.
It was also fantastic, but it was quite a bit of points.
3 servings of grilled chicken: 12 points
A ton of grilled vegetables: 4 points
So the total today came out to 36 points which is 3 flex points over. That also included eating out. Overall… I ate well.
See ya tomorrow.
P.S. Did you watch Biggest Loser last night!?! How has it inspired you?
Note: 1 serving of my chicken isn’t high points!!! I guess it’s just too tasty… 😉
that dinner looks good. share.
I have to agree that dinner does look tasty. Can you post the recipe?
I’ll put the recipe up on the next blog (Day 7)
Speaking of getting your money’s worth out of food…I feel like the best way to get your money’s worth outta good food is to make it last more than one meal. I suck at doing it sometimes and I usually forget the leftovers, but that’s my way of looking at it.
