THE HART SERIES: Counting: April 2-6, 2007 (Summary)

This was a short week, from Monday to Friday to re-shift my weigh-ins to Saturday Mornings now….. I accidentally threw out my little notepad that had all my meals on Sunday afternoon .. I will have recreated Saturday and Sunday .. but, all I have this week are pictures that I hardly took!

I took a picture of these new Thinsations my wife bought yesterday during Shopping Day. Peanut shaped peanut butter cookies and some little shortbread cookies. The Peanut Butter Cookies are quite tasty!

Also, I bought this new dressing from my mother on Tuesday, who purchased it at Costco. It’s called ‘Vidalia Onion Dressing’ and tastes a lot like that Kraft Poppyseed dressing, with a touch of onion and I suppose butter? But, the Poppyseed dressing is 2 points per 1 TBSP and this one is 3 points per 2 TBSP .. so, not as great as the regular Blue Menu Caesar dressing salad which is 1 point for 2 TBSP, but much tastier. Now that I think about it, I’ve been using it every day this week whenever I can.

This is those Restaurant style grilled cheese sandwich, but I added a fried egg inside it with extra cheese.

SUMMARY

I still had many client meetings this week, including a few lunch meetings, and Tim Hortons outings .. and I felt like I was eating too much snacks, and my timing was off. During the week I had worked a few nights and took power naps during the day as I try to stretch this 5-day period into a 4-day week! To prorate the weeks 35 splurge flex points by 5/7 – I should have been allowed 25 splurge points for the short week. Based on the upcoming weigh-in Saturday April 7th .. I probably had more than 35 points this week!

One thing that I do know .. while my ‘mini’ exercises on my exercise bike and rowing machine every morning (i.m.o.) got my heart rate going and was turning into a ‘mini routine’ .. (every morning) .. my wife continued to MOCK me for calling it a routine because it was turning to be AT MOST 20 minutes each time. So .. I upped my routine to double time – and, by Thursday my legs and body has been aching greatly. Today as I write this, (April 11th) I am still aching and haven’t exercised since Saturday PM (although, the weather has been warming up and I have been walking the dogs)
