I'm feeling pretty good about today's choices.....

Not sure what the weather is doing today in Sydney. Once moment it's sunny then next it's not.

I'm really on a role at the moment with the pre-planning of my food. As I do the majority of the cooking at home, I also tend to do the planning and don't always tell Brad what's for dinner until I serve it up.

For dinner tonight I was going to make the meat loaf out of STGTBT cookbooks and baked veggies, however Brad has decided that he wants to go shopping tonight and have dinner out. I don't really want to eat out, so as compromise I agreed to take away Chinese food. Now I have to change my food plan and really plan my food for the rest of the day, as I make sure I don't go over in points. The good news is that he will have left overs for lunch tomorrow... Looks like we will have the meat loaf tomorrow night as I have the mince defrosted in the fridge and it has to be used.

Below is a copy of my daily menu plan (from the weight watchers online tracker). I am on 22 points a day and have so far used 18.5 points, this will leave me 3.5 points, so I can have some of what ever Chinese dish Brad chooses. I had a pretty late breakfast today, so this is why I can go without snacks during the day... Advantages from working from home I guess...

I'm feeling pretty good about my choices today (hey might change my title from Today to this statement).....
