Guess what all I did for my planning today!!!!!
Permalink  

First of all (and I posted this here), I walked to the library and back with my girls from the store.  That's a mile there and a mile back.


Then at the grocery store I bought baby carrots and cucumbers.  I brought them home and counted out 10 baby carrots per snack bag, and cut up the cucumber and put some slices in baggies.  These will be for snacks.  I also (Coe...you will be proud of me!!! ) got salad dressing with olive oil in it.  It is a light dressing, so it is 1 pt for 2 Tbsp.  Hate to have to use the points, but at least I'll get my oils in this way.


Now just gotta get the milk in.  Sure wish WW would change the protein requirement.  My yogurt, ff cheese, and 0 pt hot chocolate would count (they all have 30% calcium).

That is a good start Chelle. A very good start.  I put carrots, grapes and in season veggies in snack bags and they disappear...


 


This Friday, I get my extra 10% off card for one big ticket Item, maybe I will just have toget a mini fridge to put in my closet to keep my snacks in and keep the others OUT!

I know what you mean.  As I was cutting my cucumbers up, I kept having to shoo the girls away!  I guess I should be happy they like healthy food!

Yeah Chelle! What a great idea...that is something I need to do., Those baby carrots are good..I like the crunch of them and i love eating cucumber slices. The cucumbers are great if you marnate them in a bit of oil and vinegar (or dressing)...yummy!

Now...(dont' be mad if I'm being the bearer of bad tidings) but technically olive oil salad dressing doesn't count as an oil, because you can't measure the exact amount of oil you're getting..but I say go for it! It's certainly better than not getting your oils in at all...and I'm bad about my oils so when I'm on Flex (which I am again) so I got no stones to throw here!

Good job Chelle!!!

Love ya...Colette

You know...I think it's ok about the olive oil. At least you are getting some oils...and oils are a hard thing to get in. Way to go Chelle!

Pretty much the only way I get mine in when I'm on Flex, is to choose recipes that already have olive oil in the recipe...that way I get the oil but I don't feel like I'm wasting my points on something that I don't really want.

Have you seen those cooking shows on FoodNetwork? They pour olive oil on everything...like
it was a condiment. I like olive oil...but not THAT much!


Love ya, Coe

My dad toasts  french bread in the oven and then dips it in EVOO and Balsimic Vinegar.  Personally, I don't like the Dark Olive oil. I like the light better.
