Day 22- Begining of Week 4!

I can't believe this is already the beginning of my 4th week on Core! The adjustment is getting easier, its just that I am having some trouble staying within the 35 allotted WPA points each week.

I'm just going to warn you ahead of time- this weekend I'm not going to be strictly following the plan, nor will I be counting WPA. Why you ask? WELLLLL.... I have a SERIOUS sweet tooth, but I bet you couldn't tell if you've been reading along. I gave up junk food (including cookies, candy, sweets of all types, and pop/soda) for Lent. And Easter is the end of Lent. And Easter is this weekend :) {I'm just a little excited} So I will have some delish and (horribly) fattening treats waiting for me. Since I haven't had any of that stuff in over 46 days (by Easter, that is), the only limit I am placing on myself is that I won't eat past the point of being satisfied. I'm not going to write anything down, because it would be too embarrassing eeerrrrr....I'm going out of town and am going to enjoy myself. I will be working out every day this week and weekend though in an effort to at least not gain this week.

However, until the weekend I will be on my best behavior. Even during the road trip :)

Breakfast:

• Banana
• Strawberries
• 3 pieces Canadian bacon (SO excited that I just found out these were on Core- I'm still learning!)

Lunch:

• Mediterranean style pasta salad (made with red cabbage, shallot, cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and whole wheat pasta)

Dinner:

• White wine chicken (2 WPA)
• Green beans with spray butter and garlic

Snack:

• Core Carrot Cake (no sugar added, but I did put in about 2 WPA of raisins to the whole thing and I am going to count them both today so I don't forget....but, honestly....it NEEDS the sugar-maybe even brown sugar...mmmmm)
• Small glass ff skim milk to wash down the carrot "cake" of course
• Grapefruit
• 94% ff popcorn

The white wine chicken had a total of 1 T. olive oil used to cook the chicken, and I had about half the recipe, so I would say that is about 1.5 t. The Med. pasta salad had 2 T. olive oil in it (and even that is a reduction from what the recipe said). That 2 T =6 t. for the whole recipe, but I only had about 1/4 if that. So that is about 1.5 t. as well.

That means that I am 1 t. olive oil over the daily allotment, but again I will try to even it out by having less tomorrow. If that doesn't work... I will be honest and tell you about it. Promise. :o)

Workout: 1 mile on the treadmill, 15 min. on elliptical, 200 crunches, 10 lb. weight exercises with arms.

Daily WPA used: 4

Weekly WPA used: 4
