I'm doing core too, and I like the way that the onus is on eating quality, healthy foods. I've not done points but I imagine it's hard to shake that way of thinking when you change plans!
But don't worry, it can be done. I hope you enjoyed your temptations, though!

They were very nice and I'm lovely and full but I'm going to have to be VERY well-behaved for the next three days! I have a work thing tomorrow but I've been to the venue before and they have soup so I'll take some fruit and Ryvitas so that should be ok.
Tuesday night we're off the the football so packing us up instead of buying chips and pies. Trying to think of fairly easy, portable Core food that can be eaten in the stands. Any ideas would be more than welcome.

This is from Oldchem's website. I used to have it (hot I think) with vanilla Muller yogurt. Yummy.
BANANA BREAD
200g All bran
200g Porridge oats
A long dash of skim milk (sorry can’t be more specific!)
60g Sultanas/Raisins
4 Bananas
2 Eggs beaten
2 tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp Mixed Spice
1 heaped tsp Baking powder
Zest of a lemon, chopped up finely
2 heaped dessertspoon sweetener
Instructions
Mix the all bran and porridge oats with the milk and leave for 10 mins.
Mash bananas up and mix with the eggs, then add remaining ingredients. Mix the banana mixture in to the all bran mixture, until all is combined. The mixture should be quite sloppy – like cake mix.
Pour in to a loaf tin (spray with spray oil first), and bake at 180º gas mark 4 for about 45 mins. (Keep an eye on the cake towards the end – it should be dark brown but not burnt).
Leave to cool for 5 mins, then slide a knife all around, tip cake out and leave to cool on a wire rack.

Yes, I know what you mean, which is why I'm trying core but also why I'm fretting about WI - ha!
I'm five foot six and I've set myself a target of 11 stone. The smallest I've ever been was 10 stone 4 but I was only 16 at the time so now I'm over 40, 11 stone seems sustainable.
