Sisters Getting Slim

It’s been SO long since I’ve been on a workout streak of this length!  I feel SO much better and more energetic.  I love it!  Today was a great day.  Here’s what I had:

yogurt blueberries and cereal — 3 Pts
pizza and mini reese’s peanut butter cups — 15 Pts
mini bagel and peanut butter — 6 Pts
30 Day Shred workout — 2 APs
veggies and sweet potatoes — 11 Pts

Total: 35 Pts - 2 APs = 33 Pts

Man, I’ve got to get this points down.  I’ve still got a bit of a problem with candy, as you can see.  I mentioned it to the nutritionist yesterday and her suggestion was that I set aside what I feel is a reasonable amount of calories (or Points) each day for something sweet. That way, I don’t feel like they’re completely off limits, but I also will also be more mindful of what I’m choosing to eat with those allotted points.  So instead of just grabbing a couple mini Reese’s because I want something sweet after lunch, I could think about the fact that I have 3 Points a day (that’s what I’m choosing as my reasonable amount) and decide if I really want to spend those on Reese’s in the middle of the afternoon.  Because I often want something sweet after dinner too, and I think I’d prefer to save those points and have a little dessert after dinner.   Anyway, just in time for the holidays, I’m going to start keeping in mind a loose 3 Point limit on sweets (I use the word “loose” because I think hard and fast, inflexible rules spell disaster for me).
