Hooray its nighttime and soon I can head to bed. For some reason I am so exhausted today! Anyhow, my little guy has a cold and so I have been making chicken noodle soup all day and the house smells soooo good! For Breakfast and lunch I had my usual and I didn't really snack at all today because when I make chicken noodle soup I also make breadsticks and I wanted to save my calories for the breadsticks. TOTALLY worth it!! I did alter my breadsticks recipe a bit tonight to cut the calories. My recipe calls for 1/4 cup of butter that you pour onto the pan and then roll the breadsticks in. It makes them nice, buttery, and yummy! But today I changed it up a bit and sprayed olive oil on the pan and just brushed the tops of the breadsticks with butter. So I only used 2 Tbs of butter today. They were still really yummy! My breadsticks still come to about 134 calories per breadstick but I had the calories to spare tonight so I had 3! Dinner was WAY good if I do say so myself and I am proud to say that I have stayed within my 1200 calories! I even had calories left over so for dessert I had a Skinny Cow Chocolate Ice cream cup. Thanks Kaisi for introducing me to those they are so yummy! I don't know if there is a rule about how many time you can say yummy in a post but I think that I may be getting close. Needless to say, I had a nice and YUMMY day today :) Here are my calories for today :
Breakfast : my usual 155
Lunch : my usual plus about 1/4 of a peach 220 calories
Dinner : Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and Breadsticks 573 calories
Snacks : Skinny cow ice cream, weight watchers lemon cake 230 calories
Up All Night series premier has just started and I think it looks funny so I am going to go and watch it. Until tomorrow . . . Happy Dieting!
