Eat, Repeat and I signed up for…..

by DanicasDaily on February 18, 2010

Happy Friday Eve all!  So I was debating titles for this post between “Do-Over” and “Eat Repeat”.  I asked The Husband which he thought and he had his own version of same s#&* different day.  Obviously that wouldn’t really work soooooo today is all about repeating what I ate yesterday….well, sort of.  Sometimes when you have a good thing, why fight it ~ have it again and again :D

This morning started with another 2 pt fruit salad.

Banana

4 strawberries

Handful Blueberries

I had another Fage 2% today this one with Honey.  WOW,. they give you way too much honey in these.  I used like 1/4 of it since there isn’t much yogurt to add it to and counted it as 3 pts.  I LOVE honey but why spend the calories if you don’t need it.

All together with a Kashi Strawberry Protein Flax waffle for 1 pt.

Before I headed out for my 4 mile lunchtime run, I had the other 1/2 of my Tropical Fruit Lara bar.  My run today was AWESOME ~ I felt fast and like I could’ve just kept going.  It’s amazing what a difference good music can make :D   Now hopefully I can feel this great on my Saturday run with my speedy sis and her 5’11” legs.

My lunch yesterday was phenomenal ~ I am honestly DIGGING putting dips on my sandwiches.  Today was a total do-over.

1 Morning Star Toasted Crispy Chick Patty ( 3pts)

1 Tbsp Spicy Artichoke Jalapeño Dip (1 pt)

Red Bell Pepper slices

Earth Grains Thin Bun (1 pt)

Next time, I am totally adding a big squirt of Sriracha to it – YUM!

I had a crunchy organic side salad.

Topped with Annie’s Lite Herb Balsamic.

Great stats ~ I seriously LOVE that Annie’s is branching out into the lite and Fat Free dressings so I can enjoy more of them, literally :D   You get so little of the full fat versions for the calories compared to their lower calorie versions :)

I tried, but, i couldn’t resist those CRACK ~ ers ~ 6 Olive Oil Rosemary Triscuits for 2 pts.

YUM ~ just seeing it makes me want to have it all over again ~ too bad my chick patties are all gone now :(

For my afternoon sweet tooth snack I couldn’t decide between the TWO Orange Options that Kristina sent me from Colorado..so I had a little of both…why pick?

TWO SQUARES for 2 pts of this ChocoLOVE Orange Peel Dark Chocolate Bar.

IMG_9626

I think the STATS of these bars tops almost every bar out there.  I LOVE that you get 6 squares for 3 points, but, you often don’t need that much.  I LOVED this flavor – you get their amazing rich dark chocolate with hints of orange flavor that are slightly crunchy.  This is by far one of my favs.

Kristina cracked me up on her note for these ~ she said they include the 3 food groups: Orange, bread and beans (cacao).  That totally works for me….What’s not to LOVE about a short bread cookie topped with a tangy orange filling and DARK CHOCOLATE.

Especially when they are ONE POINT EACH.

These cookies were interesting to me.  The cookie is super soft, like bread, and the orange is pretty tangy sweet.  I liked the contrast with the dark chocolate, but, totally think the cookie should be crunchy.

I can’t show you all pictures of the cookies or chocolate because at this point my camera died :(

After work, I went on a mission to Target.  Thanks to Selina for the heads up that they sell ChocoLOVE Bars in California at Target & Cost Plus.  I found 3 flavors ON SALE today at Target ~ woohoo! 

I came home, snacked on a few Stacy’s Pita Chips (3 pts and unpictured) then, spent the next hour looking for my camera charger and finally found it in a grocery bag with my Magic Bullet *sigh*

Dinner was simple ~ a spicy, cheesy quesadilla.

IMG_9633

1 LaTortilla MultiGrain Wrap (1 pt)

1 oz Low Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese (2 pts)

Hot Sauce

Plus a super sweet orange I shared with The Husband.

So glad you found them! :) I haven’t met a Chocolove I didn’t love…hehe…:) My boyfriend was away this past week and before he left, I hide a few bars in his suitcase so he would have some chocolate and love when he was away….so cheezy, right?! ;P

I didn’t know Annie’s had that flavor of salad dressing, I am so excited!

I love the Green Goddess, but sometimes its nice to change it up.

Great food day for you, everything looked spectacular!

Glad you love the Chocolove. When I went to buy you those bars, I decided I can’t leave without a bar of my own and I swear it just might be the best chocolate I have EVER had, creamy, flavorful and just yum..
