The Yummiest Way to Eat Eggs...

is when they are creme-filled chocolate eggs. That's right people, I'm indulging in Cadbury still. Because I found out they are only 3 points a piece. And because I gave out most of the candy at group today. So basically, the risk is mostly gone.

However, today I opened up a bag of Starburst jelly beans. VERY high points, considering: 3 points/.25 cup. YIKES! I ate way too many of those, got a sugar tummy ache and thankfully wont need - or want - to eat jelly beans until next year at this time.

I watched Biggest Loser tonight, and had my general wave of jealousy. Why can't I lose 60 pounds, I whined to mom afterwards. She suggested it could be chocolate eggs and ice cream. How rude! True, but RUDE! I am mostly over it though, because unfortunately the woman speaks the gospel. I am sure Brittany and Ali haven't eaten a chocolate-creme egg all season!

Tonight for dinner, we tried out a new recipe. Take a Boboli crust, spread a tub of Lloyd's BBQ chicken over it, layer on veggies and cheese (mushrooms, onion, tomato, green peppers are all good choices). It was YUM and only 5 points a piece. Not PK good, I guess, but also several fewer points.

I am starting early in the morning, with appointments and errands. Among my obligations is meeting with Steph and Jeff, the pair using me as a guinea pig for a behavioral mod experiment - basically, what will it take for Angie to stick to a food and exercise plan and actually lose weight? Their biggest job is motivating me, which means they'll certainly earn their keep.

I started taking my speed scrip today. Hopefully that little capsule will wipe out the jelly beans. But, if not, another 2 hours at the gym tomorrow, among them an hour at Power Pump. I'm ready to hurt!!
