The only thing I did not get in today was my activity and oil.  I don't take multi-vitamins.  I get enough from the foods I eat.

The seaweed soup came from my mom's house.  She literally makes a big bucket of the stuff!  It's seaweed and mussels.  It's in soup form and made with mostly water with a bit of chicken broth and clam juice.  It's so good!  It's probably not even that many points, but I wanted to add a point for each cup just in case.

The half a bell pepper was 9 points and worth every one of them!  I used 80% lean ground beef, 1/2 cup of rice, stewed tomatoes and 2/3 cup of shredded colby cheese.  I could have had two, but was full after the first one.  Three months ago, I would have automatically put a whole pepper on my plate.  Today, I was full after eating half, so I stopped.  I am really proud of myself.  I ended the evening with a nice cup of steamed milk with a teaspoon of decaf coffee.  Yumm!

I have been looking for some recipes so I can get another one of my goals down.  I am leaning toward making a new side dish for a meal.  I will probably give it a go on Sunday.

I have to travel again next week.  I will be home late two nights, so dinner will either have to be packed in the car or something light when I get home.  I did pretty well this week, so we shall see.

I am off to read more blogs!
