I have been running non-stop it seems for the past few days. I'm not complaining, cuz that means if I'm running and doing things I'm not down & out in a bed with my chronic pain! But WOW would I like a little break! LOL

That being said, like all of us, when I'm out running non-stop I tend to ignore my hunger pangs and next thing you know I'm famished and ready to pick anything off the menu from the closest drive thru! (SEE THURSDAYS DISASTER FOOD BLOG! LOL)

So, this time I decided that knowing I was going to be running I'd not only make GREAT choices but cheap ones... I had a freebie coupon for a "wrap" at a local convenience store.. used that for lunch & ate 1/2 of it. Used another BOGO coupon for Chick-Fil-A for a wrap there. End results, very point friendly & delish! PLUS I'm soooo full!

So here's today's menu:

I haven't been diligent about blogging my food but I have been good about keeping track points wise. I've had a very stressful past few days, but as with everything in life you suck it up and think positive.

I cannot express enough how much my friend Yvette has helped me in making this new way of life "MINE", and that includes introducing me to the clip/trailer of "The Secret". I actually found the DVD in a used store I often shop at for about $3 I think (maybe even $1.50 when she took half off that price, but not sure). Either way, it's worth that times a million.

I swear to you, watch the trailer alone and do what they say & you WILL see a difference. I don't sell it or get profits from it or anything (wish I did for as much as I promote it anymore! LOL) but I do know that if you were to buy it (the entire DVD) brand new for the general $20 cost it's WELL worth it.

Today's "lunch" was not only a total eye opener but really, really showed me that when I misbehave & count it.. while I can do it.. it sure leaves for some hunger by the end of the night! I'm still within limits, but this is DEFINITELY not a good menu to follow! YIKES a days worth of points in ONE sitting! Unreal. But it's done... and tomorrow is on it's way!
