I Got Me a SPURTLE! :-D

Look at THIS!

My boss got me the cutest little fun gift. It's a "traditional Scottish porridge stirring stick!" Isn't that the cutest and most appropriate little fun gift ever?! How many of you got spurtles for xmas?? Hmmmmm???? :-D

Last night was another late one for me. I managed to get my buns in bed by 11:00 which is my absolute cut off point where my head is supposed to hit the pillow, but the World Juniors were on and we had to watch our boys win and celebrate in their glory. Usually the Juniors are on in some other part of the world so hubby was happy that he was able to watch it at a fairly reasonable time. That meant it was past 11:30 (our time) before the lights went out. Let me tellya I felt it this morning - felt like I was hit by a Mack truck. I had to just a snooze.

So that meant it was another quickie Breakfast for me today. I did a repeat from yesterday with a toasted Weight Watchers bagel, Chocolate PB2, the other half of the banana from yesterday (sliced) and my usual coffee with blend cream, sugar free cinnamon dolce syrup from Starbucks (I'm getting low so I'm going to have to treat myself to a latte tomorrow and get another bottle :-D:

No snack today and for Lunch I had the leftovers from my yummy chicken fettucini and ricotta concoction from last night. It was a small chicken breast with shake n' bake, smart pasta fettucini, red swiis chard (I ain't 'fraid a that either), fresh spinach, shallots, garlic, cherry tomatoes, ricotta cheese, pasta water. It was just a small amount left for lunch and to go with it I had the same yogurt combo as yesterday, vanilla no fat probiotic Liberte with chocolate PB2 and Pom seeds. All delish and satisfying:

I had an apple planned for an afternoon snack, but I wasn't hungry. Lunch filled me up quite well. In retrospect I had wished that I had the apple because how many times do I have to learn not to go to the grocery store hungry! I went straight to the grocery store after work to finally pick up some groceries. We were out of a lot of staples and I hadn't time to go in the past few days. So I decided something quick and healthy for Supper so I grilled up a portabella mushroom cap marinated in EVOO, balsamic vinegar, oregano, S&P, topped it with a kiri goat cheese square, sliced tomato, red onion, roasted red pepper on a toasted whole wheat bun. Let me tell you I friggin love those things! YUM-O! I made a salad with herb salad mix, english cucumber, tomato, light marble cheese and some balsamic vinaigrette. Holy Yum!:

And while I was grocery shopping I came across these little guys! They are individually wrapped mini granola bar "bites" and they are one POINT each. They are marketed toward kids, but they are not bad for a 1 POINT yummy little somethin':

Notice how I'm not including the POINTS values the last few days? I've decided to put a little faith in myself this week keeping track in my head and just try to eat some healthy and well balanced meals the best I can and we'll see where that leaves me. I know, I know, what the ? We'll see how this gpes...I'm sure I'll be back to posting POINTS again soon. POINTS are always there waiting for me like a long lost friend if I ever stray ;-)
