Better points, but challenges ahead.

Today was a good day of eating.. or so it's going so far. I'm saving a few more points for any snacks I get tonight -- Robert and I are headed to see Cirque du Soleil! But I have to start planning for my day tomorrow.

I did try one of those Fiber One bars today. It was good - much better than I thought it would be. I had the chocolate mocha flavor. I can see that being a good go-to hunger killer for me, especially late afternoon.

Let's revisit yesterday's eating:

Breakfast: Trader Joe's Steel Cut Oatmeal, dunks coffee with skim milk
Lunch: Turkey and Cheese on Sandwich thins, yogurt, 3 ounces baked chicken tenders
Dinner: Smart Ones potato, cheddar and broccoli entree
Snacks/Dessert: 100 cal pack of cocoa almonds, Special K crackers, Skinny Cow low fat fudge bar

Total points: 20.5

My next challenge: Tomorrow, we head up to NH after work, and dealing with food on the way is always a struggle.

We normally either (a) pack a few snack size bags of chips, pretzels, smartfood, etc. in order to tide us over to dinner, which we wouldn't eat until 8:30 or later... and who knows what kind of a dinner we'd be eating or (b) buy a sandwich at a shop downtown before heading out of town to eat along the way (c) stop half way there and I get my only fast-food meal indulgence: Whopper Junior, no pickles, no ketchup, no cheese and a medium french fry. We probably do that stop once a month. It's a guilty pleasure for me to indulge in that meal.

That Burger King meal right there -- Whopper Junior, Medium Fry -- is 20 Weight Watchers Points. MY WHOLE DAY'S POINTS. Yeah, so, um, that's not happening.

So, I need to plan for that differently going forward. I don't know if it's going to be packing meals before hand, or working on buying a good sandwich or something downtown before we head up. I'm thinking we'll have dinner up in NH when we get there, but I need a decent and smart snacking for the trip. I'm certain I'll figure it out, if not this trip, then a future one. I'll let you know how it goes... probably won't post again until this weekend.

Thanks for reading!
