WW - Day 3

Kid had a dentist appointment at 7:30 am and a 2 hour school delay. IHOP has 2 pages full of high fat, high calorie breakfast choices. The challenge was finding something I could eat AND like. I chose an Egg Beaters omlette filled with veggies and it was actually really good. I'll be ordering that again next time I'm there for breakfast.

With a large breakfast of unknown point damage along with starting the work day late I skipped lunch. Had a WW snack bar on the way to pick up E for driving class. The snack bar was frozen from being in the car since yesterday. Halfway to the driving class, which was a make-up class (necessary because she changed to the later class time which only meets Monday through Thursday), she realized she didn't have her folder and decided she can make the class up another day. I left work early for this. Tired and by now hungry I decided to stop at the grocery store for some spray butter and yogurt. I saw the cop car too late. It could have been worse though. I was only 11 miles over the speed limit this time. REALLY hungry by the time I got home. Cooked one of my meals in a box and had yogurt for dessert. Five points left, which is a lot. I used it for a sudden chocolate craving later tonight and had a Smart Ones dessert and a cup of hot chocolate. I'm full and I don't feel deprived of anything. What I've learned is that I don't drink enough water, I don't eat enough vegetables or fruit, and I'm used to mindlessly snacking in the evening.

My schedule is getting CRAZY! I have out of town trainings coming up this month and had to make arrangements with the X to take E to her various activities, classes and appointments while I'm gone. I found a new solution to an old problem. I used to send him emails with dates for school activities & such. Yesterday it hit me like a brick. Share my calendar with him! He can find out what he needs to know just by looking at it. Seems to be working. He already emailed me with a question and I updated my calendar to clarify things.

NEW!!!!! A LARGE PRINT version of my blog. What does this mean? It means that if the print here is too small you can hop on over to the eye strain friendly page and read in comfort.
