Hi all! This week is all about making smart choices and balancing it out. I have 4 work lunches out and a plan in my head to succeed this week. My goal is to not head to lunch starving – have a snack first if necessary so I can be rationale in front of a menu and to focus on salads that get me excited and not feel all “diety” so I don’t have food envy at what everyone else orders.
Today marks day 1 and here is what I’m proud of….
* Breakfast was amazing! As in so delicious I need to repeat it.
* Lunch is a perfect way of how salads aren’t always the lowest point options, however, this is my favorite one and I’ll choose it, count it and feel good about that all day long.
* I didn’t plan on working late but did. I was starving when I sat down for dinner at 9 pm but found a great low point option in the freezer to balance out my higher point lunch. I also didn’t snack while waiting for it to heat up.
* I didn’t have a single cookie or mini muffin today.

Have a fantastic day tomorrow – I can’t wait to hand out Valentine’s to all my co-workers.
Night all!
Everything looks so good. Can’t believe that big shrimp roll in the rice paper is only 2 points!
Hi Nancy,
That’s one reason I love fresh spring rolls. I search Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls in my online tracker and they come up as 2 SmartPoints. It’s probably because it’s an even split of veggies, carbs and shrimp.
