Thursday, March 16
Dinner out tonight with friends, and potentially lunch out, too. Which means I'm going to have to be very good the rest of the time (and the rest of the week!).
B'fast: zucchini frittata (.5 pt for parm), banana
Snack: tea, pineapple chunks
Lunch: leftover ww pasta with meat sauce (.5 tsp EVOO) (.5 for parm), pineapple chunks, water
Snack: venti ff latté, pineapple, sliced peaches
Dinner: at a friend's house -- it was great and (inadvertently) pretty core friendly. There were many courses -- a salad, steamed clams, scallops and brussel sprouts, and then a "main course" of short ribs and mashed potatoes that was TOTALLY not core, but because it came after so many courses I only ate a very small "tasting" portion and that was enough. I'm going to count 15 pts for the whole meal, and I think that's being pretty generous.

EVOO: 2 tsp EVOO

Great to have you back. I've missed you. Interesting point about this not just being about physical health, but mental too. When I'm following Core as it should be, I'm so much more at peace with myself, and feel sunnier. When I have too much sugar, like last night, my disposition really suffers.

Hi, how ya doin? My WW leader has asked me to submit some Core recipes for the newsletter she send out. I'm going to submit your fish with tomatoes and black olives as one of the first. I love that recipe and it's quick and easy. I think of you every time I make it. Now tell me about the tuna and white bean salad please. Is it on the boards here? Thanks
Katie
