Hershey kisses really add up

I have a few Hershey kisses left over from the cookies I made over Christmas.  I indulges in 5. That was 3 points!! Who knew!   How many of those did I have while making the cookies!?!?   Don't forget the cookies too.

Good day here. What started out with lack of motivation ended well.   I had a good breakfast with 1 cup oatmeal, 1 tsp. sugar and blueberries and a banana. That was only 4.5 points and lasted all to lunch.  My true struggle is the lunch to dinner time frame.  I get snacky around 3 - 5 (yes the full 2 hours).  Just snacky not real hunger.   Lunch was the same as yesterday - black refried beans on whole what tortilla, 1 oz. cheese, 1 tsp. low fat sour cream, yellow peppers.  Also a salad.   Truly is filling and very satisfying. I have one more 1/2 c. of black refried beans so tomorrow it will most likely be the same.

Well the afternoon came and I decided to tackle the basement.  I have dubbed January as basement cleaning month. I do think I'm the only one doing it (not a family wide endeavor as I had hoped).  I spent a good 1/2 hour cleaning, organizing, rearranging, sorting and stacking.  I only 1/3 done.   I did create a nice work out area for me. The elliptical had to be moved and the small rug too. I couldn't do jumping jacks where the rug was, as I would hit my hands on the duct work.   But I'm all set now.  So after that endeavor and my snack of peanuts. I thought those were good for me - 3 points for 1/4 cup (30 pieces) Yikes!  Anyway, I did go back down and got on the elliptical since I had been so close to it but not on it all afternoon.   Did my 30 minute work out.  Felt good.  My legs are tired now.

Dinner was 1 chicken thigh, baked with a little panko bread crumb and egg wash to make it stick.  This is a weekly favorite in my house, so glad I modified it, with less breading and flour.   Salad of course.  Let's not forget my cup of broccoli.   Then the 5 kisses!! : )   I did hit my full points today. 

I am finding my body is tired from working out 5 days in a row.  Not something I've been good at, the consistency.  Thanks for the motivation Kristi.   I also am finding I need to go back to the grocery store for more veggies. I only have one more serving of broccoli and red/yellow peppers.   Also my baby tomatoes are almost gone. Who knew I would eat this many veggies in one week.

I think I'm on for snow shoveling tomorrow.  About 5 inches so far and Bob has not gone out to tackle it.  It's now dark, so that will be my exercise tomorrow.

Hope you all had a good day. I don't think I'd be very successful without you.  3 more days until my Monday a.m. weigh in (yikes).
