Typical Day

On the WW points plus (PP) each person is allowed 29 points plus a day and 49 points plus a week.  Every food has an associated points value.  I am a creature of habit and when I find something that I like I stick with it until I get tired of it.  But variety is key so switching it up is important!

Breakfast
1. WW French Vanilla Shake Mix-2 PP
  1 cup of unsweetened  Almond Milk- 1PP
  1 cup of strawberries
  1 cup of blueberries
  1 cup of raspberries
TOTAL PP- 3PP

This keeps me very satisfied until lunch time which is about 11:45.  I usually take a banana to work just in case I get hungry!

2. 2 pieces of Italian bread and toast them- 4 PP
    1 tbsp of sugar free Smuckers Grape jelly- 1 PP (1/2 tbsp for each toast is plenty of jelly)
TOTAL PP- 5 PP

I also add a sugar free Red Bull to my meal which is 0 PP.  It really helps get my day started!

Lunch
1. Grilled Cheese: 2  pieces of Italian Bread (4PP), 1 slice of FF sliced cheese (1PP)- 5PP
    Progressive Light Soup- 4 PP for the entire can. They have some delicious soups that are very filling. Some of them are even 3 points for the entire can.
    Chips-3PP.  I tend to subsititute the chips. Just make sure you count the serving size. My favorites include the new Special K Chips- 3 PP for 30 chips! I have to admit, these are an acquired taste. But check them out if you are looking for something new to eat. They look like this:

I also have discovered WW dijon flavored pretzels. These are also good snack.  If you are looking for quantity then the Special K chips are the way to go:) 

I really have not looked around for any other options because as I mentioned above I am a creature of habit and the above mentioned lunch works perfect for me during my 1 hour lunch. 

Deserts/Snacks
1. 1 cup, strawberries, sliced up-0 PP
    4 tbsp of FF Whip-0 PP
    Total- 0 PP
This tastes alot like strawberries and cream. This is a great afternoon snack!

2. Frozen grapes- 0 PP
3. Sliced Oranges
4. Jolly Time Popcorn- 100 calorie popcorn- 3 PP for the whole bag
5. Green Tea- 0 PP: there are so many awesome flavors and green tea is so good for you. I just started drinking it regularly and drink about 5- 12oz glasses a day. I get my necessary liquid as well as a great source of antioxidants. Green tea also helps curb your appetite. I have never been a hot tea drinker until I tasted Green Tea with Pomegranate.  I just picked up a box with green tea with Mixed berry, honey, mint, lemon, peach and mango! All for 0 points.  I have read different articles about green tea speeding up your metabolism as well. I will try to post some soon.

After Dinner Sweet: WW Ice Cream Candy Bar- 4 PP. My husband gets the Snicker Ice Cream Bars and they look and taste just the same EXCEPT the WW ones are bigger and less points!

I will post what we had for dinner tonight: Parmesan Chicken Tenders with Marinara Dipping Sauce and Alexia French Fries! YUMMMY!

Happy Eating!
