Day One

This was actually surprisingly easy today. Here's a breakdown of what I ate, followed by how I felt:

5:45 am                3/4 cup Apple Cinnamon Cheerios          = 1 grain, 3 WW points
                            1/2 cup skim milk                                    = 1/2 milk, 1 WW point
9:30 am                1 serving Activia yogurt                           = 1/2 milk, 3 WW points
                            1 large banana                                     = 1 fruit, 0 WW points
11:45 am              2 cups tossed salad                                 = 2 veg, 0 WW points
                            1 Tbsp. Kraft Herb dressing                    = 1 oil, 1 WW point
                            2 slices Sprouted Grain bread                  = 2 grains, 3 WW points
                            75 gm deli-sliced turkey                           = 1 protein, 1 WW point
                            1 large peach                                       = 1 fruit, 0 WW points
3:00 pm                1/2 Dempster's 12 Grain bagel                 = 1 grain, 3 WW points
                            1 Tbsp. peach jam                                   = 1 WW point
                            1 cup skim milk                                        = 1 milk, 2 WW points
5:00 pm                2 slices Sprouted Grain bread                  = 2 grains, 3 WW points
                             75 gm summer sausage                         = 1 protein, 7 WW points
                             1 cup skim milk                                       = 1 milk, 2 WW points
6:30 pm                 1 cup grapes                                        = 2 fruit, 0 WW points

Extra: I put mustard on both my sandwiches, which is a freebie, and had an iced coffee this morning brought to me by a friend at work, for 4 WW points. I considered taking off a milk from one of my meals to make up the difference, but just left it the way it was.

Totals for the day:
Fruit/Veg - 6 servings. That's weird, because I could have sworn I put down the required seven servings. I'll have half a glass of orange juice before bed to make up the difference.
Grains - 6 servings.
Milk and alternates - 3 servings
Meat and alternates - 2 servings
Oil - 1 serving
Weight Watcher points - 34 (would have been 30 without the iced coffee)

I've felt pretty good today. I had my usual two 16 oz cups of green tea this morning also, and indulged in a Coke Zero when I got home from work at 1:30. I wasn't starving before my morning break, nor before lunch, but looking forward to both meals. I felt a little pang of hunger at around 3 pm, so had my snack then. I expected it to hold me over until quite late, but actually found I felt like eating dinner at the usual time. Now, at 7:45 pm, I feel satisfied. Not as full as I expected. As energetic as I can be for the end of a work-week! Tomorrow I expect that my dear husband will want to go to McDonald's for breakfast, so I've allowed for that (tomorrow's Weight Watcher points are pretty high, to say the least).
