First Day on ProPoints

I've been a busy boy so far today, starting with another dee-fucking-licious green smoothie for breakfast. After that, I did a 20-minute Wii Fit workout, then got busy cutting up veggies for my big soup. I started with the idea of making the Mexican Vegetable Soup again, but then I figured that it didn't really matter what veggies I put in, as long as I made it "Mexican" by putting in tomatoes, coriander (cilantro), and diced chili peppers (I didn't have any fresh, or even dried, peppers, so I used some Blue Kitchen Hot Chilli Sauce). So I ended up with carrots, green beans, snow peas, onion, green bell pepper, tomatoes, chilli sauce, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, potato,

I had a bowl (with a nice big dollop of sour cream) for lunch, and it was great. And now that I've switched over to ProPoints, I'd used up 6 points (out of a daily allowance of 72) for breakfast and lunch. Then I did another 20 minute Wii Fit workout, which means that those two sessions essentially worked off everything I'd eaten up to that point. Now I've had a coffee and a fruit bar (bringing my total to 10), and I'm wondering what the hell else I'm going to eat today to get anywhere near the target. I just figured up the Points for dinner (including a scoop of ice cream for dessert) and I've barely used half my Points.  I mean my ProPoints.

I'm going to help myself get a little closer to the mark (and get some more protein for the day) by cooking up a couple of the sausages we had left over from last night. I got Herb & Garlic, and Cracked Pepper & Worcestershire Sauce from Kurrajong Country Meats at the Farmers Market on Saturday morning, and they're pretty good.

Then I'm going to do a third 20-minute Wii workout, then get started on dinner. After dinner, if it's not raining, I'm going for a walk. All the Wii Fit stuff is okay, but I need to get out of the house.
