Today marks day three of Weight Watchers, and so far, everything is going well. I'm shocked at how little I can eat for the allotted number of points I'm given! I'm allowed to have 26 PointsPlus daily, but I've had to use a lot of my weekly points just to get by, because I was really hungry. Thankfully, I also earn points for exercise, so I plan on using those, too.

A couple friends on Facebook were talking about the Dill, Sea Salt, and Olive Oil Triscuits, so I decided to buy some and give them a try. Oh WOW, are they ever good! Today I made tuna salad and ate it with the Triscuits for lunch. I love the dill + tuna combo.

I've also made a snack by mixing a little bit of Italian dressing seasoning mix into some cream cheese, then spreading it on the Dill Triscuits, and topping with a cucumber slice. It's a delicious snack!

[Someone recently mentioned that I do "product placement" on my blog, so I just want to be clear that this is not product placement. I bought the Triscuits, really like them, and wanted to share my find. That's all :) If I am given samples of something to review on the blog, or am paid for a post, I always write that in the post. Otherwise, when I write about products like this, it's just because I like them.]

Jerry's birthday is on Friday--he'll be 32. I went shopping for his presents today, but I obviously can't write what I got him until after he opens them. Jerry is pretty easy to buy for, fortunately. Jerry is off on Thursday, but he's working Friday, so I think we'll celebrate his birthday on Thursday. The kids will have school during the day, so it'll just be me and Jerry--I'm trying to think of something fun we can do that doesn't involve food!

Maybe we'll go for a bike ride in the Metropark like we did for my mom's birthday. Or maybe go to the batting cages (Jerry loves the batting cages). Or maybe we'll even go see a matinee, because we've been wanting to see the new Bourne movie and just haven't had a chance.

Well, I have to cut this short because ~~yesterday's post was waaay too long~~ by the time this post goes live, I will be driving home from doing something that is WAY out of my comfort zone. I spent all day trying to come up with excuses not to go, but I knew I should just do it. Will definitely write about it tomorrow! Hopefully all goes well... ;)
