Yesterday morning Neal and I headed back to Washington, DC after a 5 day stay in Iowa. We had an absolutely wonderful time visiting Neal’s parents and were lucky to have a snow free trip back.

Now that we’re back home, it’s time to get back on track and to detox from all of the yummy eats from the past 5 days. Creating a plan always works really well for me, as it helps me with my grocery shopping and then with my Weight Watchers tracking each day.

I also created a workout plan for the next week. Football training camp is in two weeks, so I want to step up my workouts and increase my weight lifting in preparation .

Wednesday Sports Conditioning class
Thursday 40 minutes of cardio and weight lifting
Friday 30 minutes of cardio and weight lifting
Saturday Body Attack class
Sunday 45 minutes of cardio and weight lifting

With my plan in place, I used my last day of vacation as a restart.  For WIAW, let’s take a look at what I ate yesterday…

As we hit the road at 4AM, I started my day off with a cup of coffee made with creamer (1PP).  We didn’t get home until 11AM, so I pretty much bi-passed breakfast and moved right into lunch.

Hyvee Seasons Fall Coffee Warm Apple Pie

For lunch I made one of Lightlife’s Backyard Grill n’ Burgers (5PP).

I served the burger on 2 slices of Ezekiel bread and then topped it with a Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge, jalapenos, spinach, and BBQ sauce.  With an orange on the side, my lunch came out to 11PP.

In the afternoon I hit the road and ran a few errands.  After grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s and Giant, I enjoyed 1/4 a cup of raisins (3PP) and a banana (0PP) for a snack.

I then headed over to the gym for a 50 minute workout.  I ran for 20 minutes on the treadmill and walked for 10 minutes.  I then lifted weights for 20 minutes.  6 well earned Activity Points!

Reebok Get After It

For dinner, I took a risk and made Neal one of my favorite childhood dishes, tuna patties.  Neal is not a tuna fan, but I knew he’d like these babies.

Weight Watchers Tuna Patties

All you have to do is combine the following…

2 cans of tuna (drained)
2 tbsp deli mustard
1 tbsp yellow mustard
1/3 cup of panko bread crumbs (add more if you need to thicken the patties)
garlic powder
season salt

Split the mixture into two and form into patties.  Cook the patties on medium heat in a pan with 2 tsp of olive oil for 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through.  I served the patties (4PP) with wilted spinach and Trader Joe’s Roasted Potatoes.  The whole dinner came out to 10PP.

For dessert I had my very first VitaTop!  But I couldn’t just have a Sugar-Free Velvety Chocolate VitaTop,no, I had to have a VitaTop topped with peanut butter mousse! To make the mousse combine 1 TBSP PB2 with 1TBSP fat free half and half.  Then I folded in 1 TBSP Lite Cool Whip and served it over the VitaTop.

I ended the day having consumed 30PP out of my 37PP.  The goal is always to eat the full 37PP, but having skipped breakfast it was a little tough yesterday.

I ended the day feeling fantastic and really proud of myself for getting back on track as soon as I returned to DC.

Have you ever had a VitaTop?  If so, what’s your favorite flavor?
