Mid Week Post

I wanted to write mid week as I'm feeling good and a bit thinner : ) I can say it makes me feel a little anxious when I feel thin and more empty. I'm not sure why. Feeling full and overly full makes me feel secure. Counseling I know!! I'm satisfied with the foods I'm eating but at times I just want to snack. This will be addressed through WW so I'm looking forward to that one.

I've been able to stay within my points and feel guilty if I use any of the 35. WHY!!!!! I also jumped into that 21 day challenge and have gone 5 days so far in the success catagory. YEAH. What is the challenge??? 21 days of straight exercise 30 minutes per day. I'm walking everywhere and the last three days in the warm house away from the snow with a DVD.

I'm surprised about how much I can eat and stay within reasonable points limits. A few changes and it's there.
For ex.
Lunch today
2 T Hummus 1 pt.
8 baked Tostito scoops 1 pt.
bowl of homemade vege soup 2 pt.
1/2 cup homemade tuna salad on two slices of low calorie bread 2.5
The tuna had 1/2T of light olive oil mayo, 1T of dijon mustard, garlic and cajun seasoning

That lo cal bread is only 1 point!!! The way I made the tuna it was only 1.5 WOW

Lunch nutritious and satisfying only 6.5 points

Feeling thankful!
