Happy Biggest Loser Day all! I think it is awesome that you all are chiming in on the 100% tracking challenge this week. I absolutely LOVE seeing you all share ideas with each other and I am learning new things too (like 0 points+ ways to flavor Greek Yogurt that I’ve never heard of!)
One thing a few of you asked me is how do I track ~ do I do it as I go along, at the end of the day or do I plan ahead? I tend to plan out what I am eating in general the night before since all of my meals and snacks tend to be eaten at work until dinner time. I find that planning it out gives me an idea of how many points+ I have at each meal/snack in case I want to swap it out. It also helps me make sure I am meeting my healthy guidelines and stay within my points+ range.
It honestly is not formal at all ~ I sometimes put everything in my online tracker then adjust throughout the day and sometimes, I just jot it all down. That being said, some days really do not go as planned.
Last night I had a great menu planned out, but, then I realized I wanted to eat at the Café since I was in training all day long.
Here is my Summary Tracker for today ~ Feel free to copy and paste this format and insert your food below.
- B ~ 1 cup fruit, Veggie Egg White Omelet (2 points+), 2 slices bacon (3 points+)
- L ~ Salad Bar Salad (8)
- S ~ Grande Nonfat decaf latte (3 points+)
- D ~ 3 crunchy Chipotle Chicken Tacos (15 points+)
- DS ~ none
Total 31 Daily Points+, listing your WPA used/balance is optional
I started off my day with a “caramel marshmallow” latte. Grande FF Decaf latte with a caramel drizzle on top. (3 points+)
A little caramel on top goes a LONG way and makes your latte taste just like a marshmallow.
Right before training we stopped by the Café ~ I couldn’t resist participating and ordered a Veggie Omelet (no cheese & cooked in nonstick spray), 2 slices bacon that I ate BEFORE took the picture (2 points+) and fruit.
We had a super short lunch break from training and I had just enough time to run down to the salad bar to make up lunch.
BEST WORK SALAD BAR EVER!!! I totally loaded up on veggie goodness today…..
Grilled Veggies ~ the smoky flavor makes it so you don’t need dressing.
I am IN LOVE with this Egg Salad….I am pretty sure they make it better than I could….maybe it’s that whole food taste better when someone else makes it for you. ( 4 points+)
Did I mention they had the MOST delicious fresh roasted beets too???
I am pretty sure I threw the kitchen sink in my salad today since everything looked amazing
~ Still, total DEAL at $7!
- Romaine, mixed greens & cabbage
- cucumber slices, tomatoes, freshly roasted beets!
- Grilled Veggies!
- Egg Salad (4 points+)
- 1 Tbsp each ~ garbanzo/kidney beans, peas, corn, dried cranberries & croutons(4 points+)
By the time I walked in the door, I was tired and we both did not feel like cooking. The Husband offered up going to Chipotle or cooking for us.
Ummm, I can NEVER resist these ~ I decided to go with the 3 Crunchy Chicken Tacos because they fill them so much that you end up with a salad after you eat them.(15 points+ or 5 points+/taco)
* 3 crunchy corn taco shells with chicken, pico de gallo, corn salsa, cheese & lettuce
Ok, your turn…..What’s on your tracker today? Oh, and if you are watching Biggest Loser ~ what did you think of tonight’s show???

Re: Biggest Loser – – – gosh, I think the biggest losers are going to be Bob & Dolvett this time around. I see alot of tension between them that was fueled this week by the red team’s bet. Dolvett has alot to prove but I think the red team is a little out of hand and need to be reined in.
I’m finding Biggest Loser incredibly boring so far this season.
Me too! Is it because no one has a horrific, compelling back story? And if so, what does that say about me? (YIKES). The in-fighting is kind of a turn-off as well.
B ~ My version of TJ’s steel cut oatmeal (5) + pumpkin/cranberries (0)
S ~ Banana (0)
L ~ Salad w/ Lite dressing (1), Turkey Muffin (3), 1 cup roasted veggies (3 as it has oil, etc. in it)
S ~ Yogurt Parfait (6 oz. Fage 0% (2), 1/2 cup frozen TJ’s raspberries (0), 1/2 cup Fiber One (2)
D~ Homemade Chicken & Dumpling Soup (5), 1 Multigrain Wasa crackers (1) with a wedge of Light Laughing Cow Cheese (1)
S – Chocolate! (2)
Total – 25 (plus earned 5PP for a Spinning class! It’s 45 min, but I only count 30 min as there is warm up / cool down).

xo.
Lately I’ve been packing my bfast the night before becuase I’ve been either going to the gym or allowing myself to sleep in a little extra- it’s nice having it all packed and ready but sometimes what I think I want at night is not what I want in the morning 😛 Never seem to have that problem when it comes to lunch, I pack it the night before too and when it’s lunchtime whatever is in my bag sounds appetizing, ha! Maybe it’s more the hunger talking?!
I am tracking EVERYTHING that goes in my mouth….just using the WW calculator and trying to learn the WW mobile. I know the results will be positive for all……because it works!
