1/13/2012 173.2 lbs

I am starting at 22 points a day on old weight watchers. You can find your points by just googling how to online. You can go tohttp://www.calculatorcat.com/free_calculators/weight_watchers_calculator.phtml   to calculate whatever you eat and you can go to http://quiddity.cc/rachel/diet/wwfoods.htm for a cheat sheet. Today for breakfast I had oatmeal, which I love! I boil 1 cup of water and then stir in a half cup of oatmeal and turn the oven down to a medium heat, after about 3 minutes I add half a tablespoon of butter, a teaspoon or vanilla, two packets of truvia then poor it in my bowl and add some almond milk to cook it down and make it taste awesome! Sometimes I add blueberries too, but I just got braces so I am not eating many foods that take an effort to chew. That is a total of a 4 point breakfast! Oh and of course right when I wake up I drink a big glass of water! It wakes me up and fills me up! For lunch I had 3 egg whites fried in Pam with some salt and pepper and pace picante (my favorite) & some crackers dipped in onion dip (made with sour cream & onion soup mix) for a total of 5 points (1 pt for 3 egg whites, 0 pts for pace salt and pepper, 2 pts for crackers and 2 pts for dip.)
 This morning my husband woke up late so I did The Firm workout video from like the 70's with Sandahl Burgman. It's seriously awesome! It works everything and you feel SO good when you are done. We went to the gym at lunch and so I walked for a mile (since I had already done The Firm cardio) and then we worked on our backs. When we do weights we do 8 reps 4 times. Of course I don’t know the names of anything so bear with me. There is a machine I think called the lat pull down and you just pull the bar down to your chest while maintaining the appropriate posture. Then on the same machine you can grab the bar in the middle and pull it down just the same. Then we went to a bench where I put my knee and the same time hand on the bench my other leg is standing slightly bent and the same side hand had a 15 lb dumbbell, you always keep your elbow close to your side and then just lift you elbow up and then let it down, 8 reps 4x's. Then we used another thing where you stand in it and your body is at a slant and the top of your legs are being supported and you look straight while you lower your upper body and bring it back up. It’s for your lower back and it’s awesome. You can also hold a weight to your chest while doing them. Make sure to stretch!
I think for dinner tonight I will make a chicken recipe my best friend gave me and have chicken salad! Try this, it’s really good
Preheat the oven to 375. I'm going to take 2 chicken breasts (about 16oz uncooked) and cut off all the fat then slice it into slices like you would imagine being put on a salad. Putting that aside, in a bowl mix 1 egg white, and 1tbs or balsamic vinaigrette. Then in another bowl mix 1/2 cup bread crumbs 1tsp garlic salt, 1tsp garlic powder, some salt and pepper and maybe whatever other seasonings look good and mix it up. Spray Pam on a baking sheet. Soak the chicken in the egg whites then cover them in the seasoning, put on the pan and bake for about 20 minutes. Let cool and throw on a salad! Something surprisingly amazing that is 0 points for dressing is to just buy a packet of ranch seasoning and sprinkle it on top, SO GOOD! This is a cool recipe that you can do anything you want with really! Then maybe for desert have a Healthy Choice fudge bars. What a day. I’m trying to also remember to drink a gallon jug of water a day. SO good for you in every way.
