Catch 22

So I'm REALLY having a hard time eating all my points!  I feel like I'm eating all day.  SERIOUSLY!  Like, just to prove it I'll list what I ate today and I'm STILL 9 points short for my minimum!!!

Breakfast:
banana
yogurt
pear

Lunch:
ravioli with spinach in tomato sauce (smart ones)
bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper
a "small" salad with italian dressing (which is two and a bit servings of veg)

Work Snacks:
Weight watchers cookie
snack size bag of 94% less fat popcorn

After work:
WW bagel with cream cheese
Can of sprite

Dinner:
plain baked potato
chicken cordon bleu (WW recipe, and UNBELIEVABLE)
Broccoli
Carrots

Most of the things I'm eating I'm rounding UP points too so... what the heck am I doing wrong?  That's one thing I find would be helpful on the website a listing of exactly how many things you're supposed to eat.  'cause I'm eating everything on my "checklist" but the points don't add up.

On top of all this I have my 1000 cups of water, my vitamin, my flax seed oil... like all day I'm sitting in my cubicle and I have something on the go.  I ate less before I was on this plan.  However I ate a lot of crap before I was on it and didn't work out for a couple months and before then it was only like once maybe twice a week.  Anyway, who knows if I'll loose weight this week, I'm eating so much food... however everything I'm eating is fruit and veg and before it would have been mostly carbs and protein so...  I guess we'll see on saturday. :)

I really need to pick up on my working out though, that's tricky 'cause there doesn't seem like enough time for me to do it.  I did one really good work out and then I've just been doing like little additional stuff like, taking the stairs every time I go up or down at work (which somedays can be insane) and parking in butthole nowhere in the parkinglot and then doing a jog to get in the building for fear of being late.  I'm also parked so far away because at my work they have closed off certain doors so they can put awnings up to protect us from falling snow and stuff.  However it's inconvenienced everyone so much because we have to park so far away and freeze our nuts off on the way in.  I mean... if we all had nuts.  Which I don't.  JUST to clarify.  ANYyyyyway.... moving on.  I SHOULD be doing a work out tonight but I have class on thursdays so I come home, make my dinner, do class while I'm eating then I'm checking my e-mail and blogging and now it's 9:30 and I'm zonked.  That's sad.  I'm 25 and exhausted by 9:30.  I know if I work out I'll be energized but I don't want to be energized to just hop into bed to lie there awake... I also don't want to have to roll out of bed in the a.m. before the sun comes up and the heat turns on to work out.  It's really a catch 22.
