Lessons Learned:
I ate as soon as I got to class, out of boredom. Class started late, and I had a big peanut butter bagel in my bag... what was I supposed to do? Actually wait to get hungry? Next week, I will bring a book to read in case this happens again. I am trying to leave boredom eating behind me!

Today's Plan:
breakfast- banana (0) and granola bar (5)
lunch- wasa (3), healthy bean dip (3)
dinner- brown rice (5), beans (2), evoo (1), veggies (0)
snacks- bagel with peanut butter (8), fruit and veggies (0), wasabi peas (2- I don't know how many or few peas this will be yet, I am new to this snack food!)
activity- Curves (+2), Nordic Track (+8)

Thanks, everyone, for bearing with me as I tracked on here this week. It has really helped me to get re-focused and back on track during this post-holiday, pre-school year week. Up next: I will be doing a series of easy to make/low in points/easy to eat in class/vegan snacks and sandwiches! I hope that you enjoy the posts as much as I intend to enjoy making them. :-)

I'm so glad you're sharing your journal - It's really helped me think about what my "food triggers" may be, too. You're doing SO well! Do you ever have wine/ liquor/ beer/ etc? Are they super high in points if you want to enjoy a drink while you're out/ I'm sure margaritas have to be like 1000000 points lol - Keep up the awesome work!!!

Lindsey, I don't drink often, usually on special occasions only (my birthday, Stacey's birthday, Halloween, New Years, and sometimes Christmas...). I would love to add some more red wine to my routine, but it is point-y. (4 pointsplus for 2 oz, I think)
