As I mentioned in my weekly blog topic post, I made a commitment to track this week. To help me get started with that goal, I photographed my food the first day of tracking, this past Wednesday. Here's what I ate that first day:
6:30am Breakfast, 3.5 points
Burrito (3 points)
Coffee with Silk Vanilla Light Soy Milk (.5 point)
Aloe Vera Juice with a splash of POM Juice (0 points)
9:30am Snack, 1 point
Apple
11:00am Lunch, Part 1, 3 points
Bread (2 points)
Tofurky, 4 slices (1 point)
Mustard, Tabasco, Tomato (0 points)
1:00 Lunch, Part 2, 6 points
Super Salad: Romaine Lettuce, Tomato, Black Eyed Peas (1 point), Tofu-Lin (2 points), Avocado (2 points), Sesame Oil (1 point), Rice Vinegar, Lemon Juice

Total Points Allowance: 20
Total Points Spent: 23
Total Points Earned: 3 (Punk Rope Class)
So at the end of the day, I came out even. I used as many points as I had earned without dipping into my 35 weekly points.
And I'm happy to say I have tracked everything since! I am very proud of myself and am going to continue tracking because I know it's the most important thing I can do to stay on track.

I've been tracking for about 3 weeks now, it helps to see everything and isn't hard to do!
Great job, you inspire me to do better! :-)
awesome day, my day's nearly over but starting tomorrow I'm logging EVERYTHING in that 3 month planner of mine!! Thanks Sheryl!!! xx
What great food choices! I always intend to track, I just never get started. I love all of the veggies you've eaten, it's inspiring me to eat more veggies too!
I'm gonna have to try that breakfast burrito..sounds yummy.
Tracking is the only way for me to truely be accountable...all the little bites here and there add up points. Also I find it helpful to prepare the day ahead of time, otherwise I may think I'm on track but tend to be over by about 5 points by the end of the day. Glad you are keeping track and journaling it.
Love those shoes on the subway shot btw!
I just found your blog and I love it already! I've been a vegetarian for about 7 years now, but I am bad and sometimes cheat because I'm lazy and don't like cooking. I have to say, that tofu dinner you made looks REALLY good, as do the Tofurkey lunch meat slices. I think I might have to give those a try!
Look at you! You get super creative with your points! Great job! How is the aloe vera juice? I have seen that in the store before but wasn't sure how it tasted. Please let me know if you like it, as I am adventurous with food! Who knows...maybe I could even work it into a new smoothie?? :)
On a side note, I thought of you the other day. I was watching this show on Bravo called Split Ends where hairdressers swap salons (think Wife Swap for hair stylists). Aaaaanyway, this one stylist was from a shop called Helmet Head in the Seattle area. Her salon was very rockabilly/retro/pin-uppy and I thought, "If Bitch Cakes lived in Seattle, I bet a million dollars that's where she would get her hair cut!"
Happy Monday!
I don't know how I came across your blog but I honestly love it. I need to get back to meetings (2kids make it hard when all they want to do is run free) and to get better at tracking. You inspire me to do both but your snyopsis of the weekly meetings has helped me for the time being. I've never been that interested in NY but I think I would go there just to get this beer Brouwerij Lane!
I just can't get into those Shirataki noodles. Guess its a "love them or hate them" kind of thing.
