So it's Thursday. I lost four pounds this week. YAY! But I've been eating like a fat kid for the past two days. No stoppin me now! Tonight we're having pork country ribs with potato gratin and collard greens. A million points. And I had a taco salad for lunch at work. And I made FABULOUS potato bread for BF (which of course is 3 points per thin slice). I'm just not planning. I need to start planning again, with the food we have.
I have a thawed out turkey breast ready to go. I even sprouted alfalfa and have ripe avocados for sandwiches. Why don't I eat it? Because I didn't make wheat bread. Why not? I don't have enough wheat flour. Duh. Buy some. I know. I just haven't. See? This is my problem. I have no more fresh fruit in the house. I will definitely buy wheat flour tomorrow (even if it's from Safeway) and make bread. Sandwiches for lunch next week. Buy fresh fruit. Package things for lunches. Make spaghetti cups for Christ's sake!! I'm already thawing ground beef and I have cups. I just need to do it. Nevermind. I'm doing it now. RIGHT NOW!!! Start planning. Planning is good.
UPDATE: The sauce is made (diced organic tomatoes, onion, garlic and onion powder, dried basil, and salt all blended together to be very slightly chunky), the meat is boiling (the baby patties will fit in the bottom of the cup), and I'm about to measure out the spaghetti. Dinner is on it's way. It will be interesting to see how many points the spaghetti cups will be. Not many, I'm sure, and with a little protein is good. Small packages are great for easy point counting and PLANNING!! I already have chopped acorn squash in the freezer ready and I'm going to put broccoli in there too. Well, the potatoes turned out to be shit. I strained them and added a can of cream of mushroom soup. Good enough. And only three points a serving! Yay. A small victory. Meat turns out to be 1.5 points per cup. I'm making 10 cups. So they'll probably be 2.5 or 3 points. Not too bad. We'll see.
