Its great that you can keep a regimen going and not go to the Candy aisle. That is a major accomplishment, I know its hard.
And I don't want to make your high fade BUT...
you are not eating enough! You should NEVER go below 20 points a day. If you do, your body will go into starvation mode and you will find your weight will eventually increase! If you are going to exercise you MUST make sure that you have enough energy and EAT. The point of exercising is to gain muscle, and you can't gain muscle without calories. Its easy to not eat enough when you first start out, you think you are doing yourself a favour, but really, you are just hurting yourself.
Its easy to get another 4 points by eating fruit -- something which your diet seemed to be lacking. Add an extra piece of fruit to each meal (maybe two with breakfast) and you will be all set.

yeah funnily enough .. the points seem low, but I felt pretty full by lunch time because I had a late lunch at work.
I know I get the munchies at night time.. so possibly might tuck into a K-time bar (worth 1.5) points later on tonight.
Unfortunately.. I have a storage machine for a body, moderate-slow metabolism .. Id survive a famine hahahs.
