Note:   In my counts for water I am not accounting for the up to three cups of milk and/or juice allowed by WWs to be counted as water, so each day I usually willl have drunk more water than it states under "Water".

Each day I take vitamin, mineral, calcium supplements along with extra iron and herbal preparations.

*At the end of the week (Saturdays), all unused "Banked/Saved Points" go back to 0.

COMMENTS:

  Gave in to the temptation of the donettes (leftover snack from class)... especially the last one, which I wasn't going to eat, but did.

  My husband is in charge of dinner tonight. He will be getting barbequed chicken from the butcher (when he picks up some raw chickens) and some type of salad, possibly some pickles and probably something else, so I'm not sure what he'll come home with!
