OK, today is a very bad example of my diet. I know better than to under eat like I did today, coming in way under my allotted WW Points. Also, I didn’t get all of my daily items because I didn’t eat often enough or make good choices later in the day. Tomorrow’s goal is to get in all of my water and my dairy.
Meals on 6/25/07
Breakfast
1 Lg Peach – 1pt
Wallaby Organic Bartlett Pear Nonfat Yogurt, 6oz – 3pt (ouch! For just 6oz?!?)
Lipton Green Tea To Go, 1 packet – 0pt
Tea’d Up, 2 oz – 0pt
6 Almonds – 1pt
Total – 4pt
Lunch
Sonic Grilled Chicken Sandwich – 8pt
Sonic Regular Onion Rings – 6pt
Total – 14pt
It really sucks that the sandwich was more points than the onion rings, I though I was eating relatively healthy, but the worst part is, the sandwich wasn’t very good, so not worth the points. *sigh*
More later today…
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Skin & Makeup
The worst of the redness is gone, thank god, but there is still enough ugly discoloration under my eyes that it’s embarrassing to go anywhere. The skin around my eyes is very itchy today, but I’m hoping it healing itching, instead of irritated itching. Hopefully, by tomorrow it will be even better; otherwise I have to fill that prescription for topical steroids, which I’m very wary about putting near my eyes.

Health, Fitness & Diet
Yesterday’s weigh-in at the Dr’s office and posting my reflections yesterday inspired to keep a more balanced day. I think I did well, overall. Now, to get some exercise added in.
Today’s Diet
- Breakfast
- 3oz Stonyfield Farm All Natural Fat Free Yogurt Black Cherry – 1pt
- 3/4 cup Silk Vanilla Soymilk Plus Fiber – 1 pt
- 1/2 cup blueberries – 0.5 pt
- 1 cup pineapple -1 pt
- 1/2 cup General Mills Fiber One – 0 pt
- Lunch
- Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli – 7 pt
- Snack
- 1 serving Fiber One Chewy Bar – Chocolate & Oat – 2 pt
- 1/2 cup cauliflower – 0 pt
- 1/2 cup celery – 0 pt
- 1/2 cup broccoli – 0 pt
- Dinner
- Taco Bueno Crispy Chicken Taco – 3 pt
- Taco Bueno Chicken Crunchy Burrito without queso – 6 pt
- 1 container Dole Peaches & crème parfait – 2 pt
Reflections on today’s meal: I think I balanced my meals very well today, I ate plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Even with eating out at Taco Bueno, I was able to stay on-plan, actually coming in 0.5pts under my daily target, by checking out the website and calculating what the points would be before ordering.
Food Finds:
· Silk Vanilla Soymilk plus Fiber is the first soymilk is the first soymilk I’ve ever liked, and the addition of fiber brings the point total down.
· General Mills Fiber One actually tastes pretty good and is filling, the ½ cup serving is 0 POINTS!
· Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli is one of my newest favorites when it comes to frozen dinners, the ravioli is amazingly good and it has 2 servings of vegetables per entrée
· Fiber One Chocolate & Oat Chewy Bar is very good, but I still prefer the peanut butter version
Notes for tomorrow’s meals: I need to take in the peaches I have here at home, but will still need to pick up some more fresh fruit soon, and some raw almonds.

Hello world!
What can I say? I actually like the automated title from WordPress, so I think I’ll keep it.Well, since it is the beginning of my blog, we will start with the beginning… Of today, that is.

Skin & Makeup
Well, as I mentioned in my “About” section, I have recently been diagnosed with eczema, well I’ve started getting my first “flare up” on my face in the last two weeks and today I woke up with my eyes half swollen shut from the flare up getting so much worse in the last day and a half, so I went to the doctor’s office and she decided to give me a steroid shot, in an effort to get this to heal more quickly, so hopefully the worst of this will be gone in the next two days. One thing I’ve read about is keeping track of what I’m eating and what products I use on my skin and anywhere near my face, so I will be using this blog to log all of that, both as a record of that, but also to show what kinds of makeup the makeup junkie in me is using day in and day out.
Today is easy, since I wasn’t able to use much of anything
- Murad Energizing Pomegranate Moisturizer SPF 15
- Neosporin LT Lip Treatment

Health, Fitness & Diet
Since I went to the Dr, I had to get on the scale (don’t you hate that) and the result… 187lbs. Luckily, I learned last time I was there that the Dr’s scale is a few pounds more than the scale at Weight Watchers, so I haven’t regained too much, hopefully.
Today’s Diet
- Breakfast
- Stonyfield Farm Lowfat Yogurt Blueberry, 6 oz -0 points
- Regular Coffee, 1 cup (8 fl oz) – 0 points
- Tea, brewed, 8 fl oz – 0 points
- Sucralose (like Splenda), 1 tsp – 0 points
- Silk Vanilla Soymilk Plus Fiber, 0.25 cup – 0.5 Points
- Nature Made Multi For Her with Calcium & Iron, 1 serving – vitamin
- Lunch
- Lean Cuisine Roasted Garlic Chicken Pizza, 1 serving – 7 points
- Weight Watchers Sweet and Salty 2 Point Bar, 1 serving – 2 points
- Dinner
- Grilled Chicken Capri, 1 serving – 11 points
- Vitalicious VitaBrownie, 1 serving – 1 point
Reflections on today’s meal: Breakfast could have used some fruit added to it, or added as a morning snack, preferably with some healthy fats, such as almonds. Lunch could have definitely used some fruits and/or vegetables. Dinner, while delicious, again could have used some fruits and/or vegetables and the VitaBrownie, while ok, was not the best brownie I’ve ever had, but did satisfy my sweets craving for only 1 point. Overall, while an ok day, only going 0.5 points over my daily target, was seriously lacking in fruits and vegetables. Notes for tomorrow’s meals: Take in mixed fruits and veggies, pick up some almonds for when I need some fats and proteins to add to a snack.

The book scene
- Current Read: Radical Cure by Olivia Gates from the Silhouette Bombshell series
- Synopsis: Working in war zones while treating the sick and wounded, Dr. Calista St. James is used to being under siege. But now, her team has been deliberately infected with a seemingly incurable and mysterious agent that simulates both chemcial and biological afflictions — and all signs point to it being an inside job.
Before Calista can expose the traitor, or the truth, she has to travel worlds away with her former mentor, maybe lover and definitely uncertain quantity black-ops agent Damian De Luna — a man she loves, trusts with her life but doesn’t trust to ever tell her the truth — to find the cure.
Radical steps are needed to stop this deadly outbreak, but can Calista stop the breakdown of everything she’s dedicated her life to building and fighting for? - Review: This is a medical suspense novel, second in a series. While the base storyline is interesting, the author doesn’t segue well between scenes, which can be very jarring and tends to ruin the overall read.
