Taking the Reins

Crap!

OK, there, I got it out.

I am not going to stop moaning and groaning about being back on program until this insatiable hunger goes away.  My carbohydrate laden habits of this summer are leaving me totally hungry and out of points by dinnertime.  It sucks.  Like, really, really sucks. 

Hubby doesn’t help, either.  He pulls out his chicken nuggets and microwave pizzas.  “Want some?” he asks.  Um, excuse me?!  Do you want a thin wife?  Never ask me again!!! 

Perhaps today just isn’t a good day.  I made a minestrone soup in the slow cooker last night, but in my infinite brilliance I added Barilla Plus pasta at the end that soaked up all of my chicken broth.  I ended up with runny pasta with vegetables in the end.   Oops.  All I had in my cupboard was chickpeas and black beans, so I only added 1 can of chickpeas.  Again, the “soup” imposter could have used some more protein to help stave off my hunger.

I’d love to go for a swim, but I just got a skin biopsy and I’m not allowed to swim in a public pool for 2 weeks.  Ugh!!!  So tomorrow after work, I’m going to attempt to go to spin class.  Tell the hubby I have to work late so he doesn’t get all upset that he’s alone all day and I don’t want to hang out with him as soon as I get off of work.  (anyone else have this problem?  Yeah, didn’t think so)

So that is the scoop.  Still hungry.  Pissed that I don’t have any one-point snacks around.  Surrounded by bagels, granola, and Powerbar equivalents.  Desperately yearning for the day when my 22 points feels normal…..

 Here’s the daily damage:
