tgiw

i'm happy it's wednesday because the week is almost half over. yesterday one of my friends sent me this little gem about tuesday. oh, it's funny because it's true, like so maybe things.

i need to admit that i have an addiction to american apparel. i love simple clothes that fit well, are made of cotton and spandex, and don't have any slogans or writing on them. it's genious! true, some of the clothes may seem expensive, but they are all made in a sweatshop-free-factory in downtown LA and that's pretty cool. i love the leggings and the dresses. i also have a bathing suit from aa. groovy!

this morning i woke up early and made chocolate chip banana bran muffins. only, i like to add a bit of vanilla, and today i decided to use 1/2 semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 white chocolate chips. oh boy! i had one for breakfast (who can resist warm, fresh-baked goods! no one, that's who!) and it was very tasty and the two-colour chips looked very appealing.

yesterday in the grocery store i FINALLY found no-sugar-added pudding cups. i avoided pudding cups in the past because a) i could really take it or leave it—pudding is good but not that special and b) the ones with sugar are sugar laden and 2 points a.k.a not worth it. but the no-sugar added ones are only 1 point and have 0g of sugar. i don't really "get" how they taste so delicious. i got vanilla even though i spent a few minutes debating between that and butterscotch. i couldn't find them before because they are not kept with the regular pudding cups, they are kept with the dairy in the cold section. what in the world?

this week has been good and on plan so far. i am still trying to eat only when hungry and it's going pretty well. i went to the gym last night before meeting up with a friend for some drinks/gossip. who wants one?


here is today's menu:

chocolate chip banana bran muffin (1)
oatmeal with pumpkin (3)
chefboyardee ravoli microwave cup (4)
salad with dressing (1)

semi-total (9)
i have some leftover panang thai so perhaps for dinner i'll steam some rice and dump it on. the word "dump" definitely makes it sound less appetizing but trust me, it's good.

thursday?

is it thursday already? that's pretty good! and a long weekend too. i don't really have any sort of "thanksgiving plan" other than not stuffing my face. everything in moderation. as much veggies as i want. one roll/bun. i don't need gravy on everything - maybe only on potatoes? anyhoo. i don't like pie so that has never been much of a temptation.

did you know that turkey is good for uplifting your mood? it's true. that is also why people feel calm and sleepy after eating turkey dinners. i'm sure that overstuffed feeling helps too.

tonight i am going out for dinner here . it's a friends birthday. what should i order? i am thinking about the falafel with no cashews. yes, i love cashews. who doesn't? but i ate nuts last night! NOOOOOOOOOO! aw nuts!

today at lunch i have to boot around town. i am going to a) try on my new bra size at la senza. yesterday i told my bf about the bra size discovery and he said "yah, no kidding!" b) buy a birthday present for my friend. i'm thinking a book! and c) return printer cartridges to business depot. busy lunch!

here is today's menu:

breakfast:
shreddies (3)
strawberries (0)
light silk soy (1)
4/19

lunch:
2 slices ww bread (1)
fat free turkey, 2 slices (1)
carrots (0)
apple (1)
7/19

snacks:
3 rye crackers (1)
yogurt (1)
9/19

this leaves 10 points for dinner and i definitely am not drinking alcohol at dinner. i rode my bike to work today, and i am planning on riding it home before dinner, and either riding or walking to the restaurant. i may or may not do a running podcast tonight. activity!
