A Freaky Monday

Dear Kaffi,
Well as you know from the phone chat we had, Monday arrived whilst I was at Emerg with hubby. We were there until about 4:20 in the morning. So while I was there I got hungry. I had Reese Peanut Cups and baked Cheetos. I took a picture of both of them re: nutrional values. :) I also had a bottle (500 ml) of Ginger Ale. They did not have diet in the machine. I forgot entirely to get the values on that. I think it was Canada Dry.

Reese Peanut Cups 260 cal 16 g fat 2 g fibre = 6 points
Baked Cheetos 150 cal 6 g fat 121 g fibre = 4 points
500 ml bottle of Ginger Ale = 2 points (this seems like less then I would have expected it to be)

So while at hospital I consume 12 points which was a lot considering I would have been asleep and consumed none. :(

(p.s. in case some one other then Kaffi reads this, my hubby is doing ok and is not in hospital at time of typing this)

For lunch, I had not one but two of the following. I usually have one of these for breakfast but I did not eat breakfast and just started tidying / cleaning instead.

1 egg (cooked in Mikey) and then put in a calorie reduced english muffin with a smidge of ketchup and cooking spray was used in bowl while cooking = 5 points x 2 = 10
1 large orange = 2 ponts
So this brunch was 12 points

So... heading into supper... I had used 24 points unless I count the hospital stuff as 12 flex points which I think might be best.

Supper was a baked skinless boneless chicken breast w Mrs Dash, Rice and a salad with poppy seed dressing. So the chicken was 3 points according to list website, the rice was 3 points according to the calculator, salad was 0 and my favorite dressing was 1 point. The Mrs. Dash was 0. So supper was only 6 points!!!

At this point of the day, 0 water had been consumed. Sprite Zero had been drunk off and on all day.

Then, Mel decided to bake brownies and cookies with the kids!!!! :(
2 brownies = 10 points :(
3 cookies = 5 points

I went to bed having consumed 45 points and no water. I am allowed 29 a day so 16 were flex.

BUT.... I WAS ACCOUNTABLE FOR EVERY SINGLE POINT!
