This morning started off with an EGG-WICH. I honestly CRAVE these sandwiches and think I NEED to have them in my life at least once a week (6 points+)
In an effort to TRY NEW THINGS, I bought this red Caribbean Papaya. It is super sweet and I couldn’t figure out why I LOVED papaya on THIS SALAD, but, I didn’t love it straight up.
TJ told me she LOVES squeezing lemon on papaya. so I figured why not try it…Ok, well, I already had a zested lime in the fridge – it’s citrus so it all counts the same, right?
Sprinkle with lime and course sea salt ~ delicious! The salt and citrus really cut the sweetness….try it and you may just start liking papaya like me
I found out this morning at my eye appointment that at 6 months after my Lasik my eyes read like this:
* Left Eye ~ 20/15 (The Husband calls it my bionic eye lol)
* Right Eye ~ 20/25
But, somehow together they equal 20/20 and I can see everything with no blurs. I have to say January and February had me a little worried that I might have to have Lasik Enhancements because my vision wasn’t taking on.
3 more months to go and I should be ALL CLEAR….It’s pretty cool!
For my drive back into town, I got a Venti Iced Dirty Latte (4 points+)
I am not sure why I bought these for The Husband…maybe because they were half off, maybe because they are mini and maybe because I LOVE them!
I could give or take a regular Reeses PB Cup, but, the chocolate to PB ratio on their eggs get me every time. I LOVE that they have mini eggs that are only 2 points+ each.
They are not as big, but, they are just the right amount.
Even though I KNEW the points+ Value, I totally used WW ScanCalc to check it out
What I didn’t realize until today though it the little +/- on the right. Did you know that counts as servings?! I added +1 and it doubles the values/points for more than one serving.
I just say each your two eggs at different times and count them as one serving each for 4 points+…..totally kidding, but, it’s cool that ScanCalc does that!!!
The Husband knew that today was insanely busy and decided it would be nice to have lunch together. I told him I could make something, but, he said he wanted to “make” something….Quiznos LOL.
I cannot believe how high the points+ values of sandwiches are on their menu. I picked the lowest one I could find and although it doesn’t look pretty, it was tasty.
Honey Bourbon Chicken, no cheese and double veggies on Chipotle Jack (8 Points+)
All of their side salads were over 4 points+ so I figured, I opted for Baked Lays instead (3 points+)
Mid-afternoon snackage ~ Banana plus light string cheese (1 points+)
After work we headed out to watch the Nephew’s Baseball game. Can I just say, I LOVE watching 5 year olds play ~ so cute. I took some of Tracey’s Trail Mix that she made because I knew I’d get hungry.
This snack mix is AWESOME!
1/2 cup = 3 points+ and includes:
Trader Joe’s Ohhhh’s
Dried Mango Slices
Dried Cherries
Pistachios
Crunchy Coconut Chips
The games were over at 8 PM and I didn’t hesitate agreeing with The Husband when he said Chipotle for dinner.
I got the usual mix:
* Lettuce (0)
* Chicken (5)
* Pico de Gallo (0)
* Corn Salsa (1)
* A little cheese (less than a serving) (2)
* GUACAMOLE! (4)

Speaking of Frequently Asked Questions ~ I am thinking of adding a FAQ section to Danica’s Daily with my Makeover. Ask me ANYTHING you want to know from things about me, the way I develop recipes/calculate points+ to all your burning Weight Watchers Questions. If I can answer them, I will.
Night all!

Eggs are a huge staple in my weekly meals, I love them! I had a Danica breakfast this morning: hardboiled eggs and a banana, loved it 🙂

Shelby says
I love that you love Reese’s Eggs – I was just talking about these in my Weight Watchers meeting last night and said your exact words: “The Chocolate to Peanut Butter Ratio in the Holiday Reese’s treats is so much better!!” – I had one big egg but did make it last for 13 bites…I savored that sucker but it was OH SO GOOD!
Amy @ Tiny Blessings says
OK, here’s mine: What’s a Dirty Latte? And is that your own name for it, or can I just walk in and order that at Starbucks? Do I have to tell them I know you? LOL!! 😉
And I wanted to say THANK YOU for mentioning the Driod apps the other day. I love that scanner. I haven’t been out anywhere since I downloaded it (sick and sick kiddo) but I have been playing with it here at home!
Carlee says
I love Reese’s peanut butter eggs. I actually did have a couple of big ones this year (and counted the points!). I bought them singly as I can’t have a 6 pack or bag of minis lying around. i would eat them all in no time no matter how sick it made me!
Roz says
One egg is 2 points, 2 eggs are 5??? OK…I’m no math whiz, but huh??? 🙂
Papaya and lime is delicious, but I’ve never sprinkled salt on there too. sounds yummy!
Have a great day Danica!

That WW app is awesome. I am so jealous
janetha @ meals & moves says
i need some chipotle guac STAT.
ummm FAQ… how do you manage to eat a totally different dinner every single night of the month. i swear you always have new things! okay, that is not a good FAQ.. but still 🙂
Sarah says
I’m so glad you were talking about the perfect ratio of PB to chocolate. I feel that way about the Reese Mini’s that just came out. They are so amazing. The PB consistancy even seems a little more smooth. Of course they are horrible for points…so I stuck to two miniatures instead. 🙁 Not as good…but it did the job!!!
DanicasDaily says
Hi Amy,
It depends on the Starbuck’s – some know what it is and some do not. Basically it’s a nonfat latte, hot or cold, with 1-2 pumps mocha syrup. You save on calories/points+ by only adding 1-2 pumps and you get all the chocolately flavor.

Hi Roz,
It happens sometimes when you double the servings – the points+ will more than double 🙁 That’s why I say have them at separate times and it’s still one serving each time LOL.
