Sore, Sore, Sore

Wow, a lot more of you read my ramblings than I thought! Eight of you "liked" yesterday's post on Facebook. I had no idea so many people were following this process, and I'm really encouraged and motivated by that! Thanks, guys.

I am so sore through the arms and shoulders today from doing Wii Boxing the last two days! Obviously, it's doing me some good. I just finished this morning's session...painful, but I got through it. I had a lot more trouble winning my fights today, though - my poor overused muscles!

Anyway, on to yesterday's menu...

Breakfast: Oatmeal, banana - 7 points
Lunch: Tomato-beef broth, turkey pastrami wrap - 14 points
Snack: Yogurt with applesauce - 3 points
Dinner: Ham, red potatoes, peas, milk - 24 points
Dessert: Pudding with Cool Whip - 5 points
Total: 53 points

I actually did pretty well yesterday on getting to my points total, only 2 points short. I didn't feel very good after dinner, though - I think I might have eaten too much in my quest to use all my points. Looking at the distribution of points through the day, I'm wondering if I should eat more points at breakfast and fewer at dinner. It would be easy to add a few more points in the morning simply by adding some raisins to my oatmeal, which is the way that I would normally eat it anyway. The only issue with that is that I'm afraid that as I lose weight and reduce the number of points I have available per day, I'll feel deprived and resentful when I inevitably have to remove the raisins again. I'll have to think about it.
