did a little better on points today. i sort of made the minestrone, but i used already cooked turkey instead of beef, added everything together at once and cooked it all together for about 6 hours on low, used penne pasta instead of macaroni, and added beef bouillon and a packet of onion soup mix… so really, it wasn’t anything like the original. lol. and it wasn’t all that good either. XD but it was food.
i got a pack of precut salad from aldi’s on thursday for 50 cents! it was fairly small and i figured it would only make about 2 salads. with using it for snacks and making small salads, i just today ended up using the last of it. i also thought it might be near it’s expiration date with it being so cheep, but it was perfectly fresh the entire time. i might have to start getting salad more often. i wasn’t using a lite dressing either, so with proper dressing and being an even lower point snack, it sounds like a great deal to me.
i’ve decided to start weighing in on fridays. with working on mostly weekends, saturday is more of a start-of-the-week for me. i may weigh wed. and fri. this week, or i might skip wed. i haven’t decided yet. and i’m not sure what to do with my weekly points. i guess i’ll just have to watch myself extra close until friday.
sorry if my post was a little rambley. i’m tired. g’night.
