Dinner tonight was something I have been wanting to make for a while, but just haven’t gotten around to it. It’s another great recipe from fellow blogger, Gina – her Lighter Spinach Frittata! It was delicious. The recipe serves 4, but I cut it into thirds which only came to 4 Points. The only change I made to the recipe was that I used reduced-fat feta since I already had it in the fridge. A great recipe for breakfast, lunch or dinner! I paired it with a salad with some sliced carrots and 2 tsp. evoo and vinegar…

I still have 2 Points left for the day, but the husband and I just got back from the movies and now it’s a bit late for me to eat something. I generally don’t like to eat too close to bedtime. So, I’ll deal with the little growling right now and head off to sleep…

nite =)

I ended up making it through the day fairly well. Thankfully, the way my body was feeling was a constant reminder to stay on track.

For a snack today, I decided to try one of these bars that I had picked up a while ago…

This bar was actually developed by a weight loss surgeon! The package says to eat a Fullbar with glass of water, 30 minutes before your mealtime and you are supposed to want to eat less and be satisfied at your next meal. Hey, I’m game! The nutritionals were pretty decent for this fairly large bar: 150 cal., 2.5 gr. fat and 5 gr. fiber = 2 Points. Here it is, up close and personal…

This bar was o.k. It was a little chewy and had a strong cinnamon flavor. This bar flavor was supposed to be cranberry almond, but there weren’t many almonds, mainly sunflower seeds. Not sure I would buy these again. Not sure if I could say I wanted to “eat less” at my next meal either, but I didn’t follow the directions exactly since I had this more like 1 1/2 hrs. before my dinner. In any event, it did o.k. as a snack bar.

I had 2 Points left for dessert and these guys were calling my name…

I used a half serving of them to top my 1/2 c. Breyers Fat Free Double Churned Chocolate Ice Cream…

It was yummy and very sugary, which scared me a little, but I seemed to have survived without incident! Yeah, one day down. I made sure to journal/track everything I ate and I even got in a little extra exercise on the trampoline with the daughters. All in all, a day I can feel good about. Hopefully, my body will get the message and I won’t feel so yucky tomorrow!

See you in the a.m. =)
