Day 1 (29 points+ in 29 days)

I was SO excited to start this challenge. And I had a nice "healthy" meal in mind to do so--until I remembered I PROMISED the kids we would have german pancakes--one of their FAVORITES. So we tweaked the recipe here and there and it came out just as good as the old way, but lower in fat and calories, and POINTS! Lunch was leftover from the night before--and dinner was a quick run to Sams to grab a pizza. Not  my best of days food-wise, but still on target with the points. Proof that these kinds of days DO happen, and it's possible to stay on track!
