Freaky Friday

That's what my son's school is having today and I feel like it's been a freaky week. At work the nuts have been ringing the phone off the hook and it's not a full moon, must be some kind of change though. I am revamping my WW points with the help of someone and attempting to do as I see other's doing, adding more protein and staying away as much as I can from using points that are more what I call "carby."  I know I have issues with being insulin resistant so I am going to do as I should have done along time ago and steer those points in that direction. Breakfast was 1 egg with little extra whites, 1slice of bacon, sprinkle of cheese and spinach and onion for I figure around 5 points:

Had a Green Monster, 1 orange and handfull of spinach (I say 1 pp Marisa!) for morning snack and some mixed fruit for late afternoon snack.

Lunch was a HUGE salad with leafy greens, 2 Tbsp corn, broccoli, green pepper, carrots, 5 oz. baked chicken breast, 2 Tbsp. light Ranch dressing, and a few little crunchy thingys (I am figuring about 11 pp):

I am working out every evening on my elliptical and in a week have worked up to 25 minutes on Level 2. I know I have along way to go to get to where I need to be on this thing but last Saturday I could only do 5 mintues on Level 1. I have exercised every day but one this week and I am proud of that.

As I have said I have a few recipes I have found on different blogs and I hope to try them out this weekend. We may get more storms this weekend so we will be stuck inside and I will be wanting to eat so I plan on HAVING A PLAN where food is concerned. I really want to try the Pizza Chicken and here is one if the urge over comes me and I have to have something sweet, I am wanting to try. It is Low Fat Banana Bread Cookies by Shannon's Kitchen Creations (this is her picture of the cookies, not mine!) sounds good:
