Day 51

TIP OF THE DAY: Avoid eating anything directly out of the container, particularly foods that lend themselves to binges like ice cream or potato chips. It's virtually impossible to practice portion control when you eat straight out of a container.

When you eat from the sources, you're likely to fall into all-or-nothing thinking: "If I'm being this 'bad' then I should just go all the way." You'll feel more in charge of your actions by eating one serving mindfully from a dish.

I did not get on the treadmill like I had wanted to but we did some spring cleaning instead.

when I was doing my points I realized that 2 scrambled eggs were 6 points and not 2. I thought that since 1 hard boiled egg was 2 points then if they were scrambled then it would also be 2, but I was wrong and it was 3 points per egg. I am not sure why. Does anyone have any idea why this is?

Well on to what I ate;

BREAKFAST/LUNCH: (we slept in today:)
Shrimp with dip-10 points

Snack:
1 slim jim-3 points

DINNER:
2 scrambled eggs-6 points
2 slices turkey bacon-2 points
Hash browns-5 points
Pancakes-2 points
Butter-3 points
syrup-3 points

Total points: 34 out of 31 points for the day. If I did not assume that the eggs were 4 points and not 6, I would have only gone over by one point.

I drank 5 glasses of water today. Tomorrow my goal is to have 6 glasses.

The rest of the week I am going to count out my points and double check them and not "think" that I know the points of them.

After Scott found my pedometer, I did not put it on but tomorrow for work I will.

Have a good Monday.
