Closer to my goal – hopefully only 1 or 2 more weeks away!
Day 1
- Breakfast: Muffin, Yogurt, Blueberries, Water
I warmed one of the Pear and Walnut Muffins from Day 7 last week, broke it up, and mixed it with 3/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt and some blueberries. - Lunch: Turkey Wrap, Apple, Water
Whole wheat tortilla spread with some of the cucumber-yogurt dressing from the Falafels on Day 7 last week, then topped with turkey and some of the cucumber-tomato salad from that same meal. Half of an apple on the side. - Dinner: Chili, Cornbread, Water, Cupcake
Serving size of White Chicken Chili with Poblanos, serving size of Jalapeno Corn Bread, and half of a cupcake for dessert. - Snack: None
I figured with the cupcake I had had enough for the day.
Day 2
- Breakfast: Muffin, Yogurt, Blueberries, Water
Same breakfast as Day 1. - Lunch: Turkey Wrap, Orange, Water
Same lunch as Day 1, except with a mandarin orange instead of an apple. - Dinner: Chili, Cornbread, Water, Cupcake
1 cup Nonstop, No-Chop Chili with cornbread from Day 1 and half of a cupcake for dessert. - Snack: Melon, Water
Honeydew melon because I needed a little something.
Day 3
- Breakfast: Oatmeal, Blackberries, Water
1/2 cup quick oats mixed with salt, cinnamon, and slightly less than 1 cup 2% milk, microwaved for 90 seconds, stirred, microwaved for another 30 seconds, and then I stirred in some blackberries. - Lunch: Turkey Wrap, Apple, Water
Same lunch as Day 1, and that’s the last of the falafel leftovers! - Dinner: Chili, Cornbread, Water, Cupcake
Same dinner as Day 2. - Snack: None
Probably had enough for the day.
Day 4

Nature’s Path Blueberry Cinnamon Flax with sliced banana (half of a banana) and skim milk. - Lunch: Samosa Wrap, Orange, Water

I went out to dinner with a friend – a cup of French onion soup and a side salad (shaved Brussels sprouts, Napa cabbage, pickled red onion, green apples, Gorgonzola, sweet potato, and apple cider vinaigrette). A turtle later for dessert. - Snack: None
Wasn’t sure how many Points dinner was, so no snack.
Day 5

Day 6
- Breakfast: Cereal, Strawberries, Milk, Water

1 slice whole wheat bread with 1 Tbsp. or less of peanut butter and less than that of jam. Apple on the side. - Dinner: Chicken Chowder, Fruit, Water, Cookie
Same dinner as Day 5, but with no soup toast and a Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie instead of half a cupcake. - Snack: Water
How Did I Do?
That’s right, only 6 days this week – I weighed myself a day early and – spoiler alert – I was done! So, I did really well! I drank water, I ate fruits and veggies, I watched my portions and measured when I needed to, and I planned and made light dinners throughout the week. I had gotten cupcakes from the local bakery because they had flavors that I wanted to try, but I only had half of a cupcake each day (or some other small treat after those were gone), and I skipped my nighttime snack (or only had fruit). When I went out to dinner, I ordered something that sounded good, but wasn’t too much food.
No regrets!
