I am clearly not very good at keeping this blog updated. And so I am merging it into my regular blog, The Duklings at Camian Academy. I won’t be posting my daily meals/point levels, but will be posting my weekly weights and measures and other random weight loss thoughts.

I had one point left. The kids and I made English toffee today. It turned out absolutely amazing. The kids wanted pizza for dinner. I got salad. I like salad much more than pizza.
December 5, 2009
I am allowed 29 points currently.
What I ate:
pastrami (2 points)
cookies (4 points)
various things on a Chinese buffet (22 points)
Total points: 28
Cups of water: 6

I had 1 point left. The Chinese buffet we go to in Williamsburg is so good. I tried to make smart choices in what I ate, though.
December 4, 2009
I am allowed 29 points currently.
What I ate:
limeade (2 points)
potato, cheese, and chili soup (20 points)
candy (2 points)
cornbread (3 points)
Total points: 27
Cups of water: 12
Vitamins? Yes
My thoughts:
I had two points left. I absolutely love potato, cheese, and chili soup. It’s high in points, though, (and Jamie doesn’t like it much) so I don’t have it much and have to plan out when I’m going to have it.
