We went to get the baby shoes this evening. Pictures to come later. Dinner was at Don Pablo's. Problem with taking her anywhere is that I need to get her something to eat. Usually I give her from my plate since she really cannot eat a whole kids meal. This evening I decided to be smart and get her a kids meal and I would give her the fries and I would split the entree with her. I also got myself a small salad. Not a bad idea huh. WRONG! The chicken quesadilla (which she really did enjoy part of) was a half of a regular one so 15 points. The dressing they have is regular unless you like light french (yuck!) so there is another whopping 10 points. My husband felt like he should share his dinner with me since I was only have a salad and her small half a quesadilla so he gave me his taco from the his pick 3 sooooo add 7 there. Then on the way out of the mall he says we have to get dessert at the only place in the eatery that sells sweets, the ice cream place. I am picky and only like vanilla soft serve. Add at least 4. All together that is about 36 points. That would be more than I am allowed in a day. Weekly allowance you say...HMMMMMMM...I used 12.5 yesterday and another 18 today. My week starts on Monday.
That's what they are there for you say. Yes true but not to use them on the first 2 days. Now I have no wiggle room for the rest of the week.
Ready here comes the silver lining and my pat on the back so I can smile and move forward. In the past I would be angry with myself. I would not track these days. I would even go as far as resetting my WI day to tomorrow and starting over with my week beginning on Wednesday. But guess what? I'm not gonna. I tracked (good girl), I owned it (good job putting the big girl pants on), I will cook at home and eat well the rest of the week since all is not lost. Another big pat on the back is that I got all my floors scrubbed and cleaned today and my house is really starting to shape up.
Tomorrow is grocery day so I am looking into getting some whey protein and berries so I can have a protein smoothie in the morning. I am looking for easy to make and eat on the go thigns for when I start work again on August 25. I used to hard boil eggs and have an egg on an english muffin. I am getting tired of that and thought about cereal but I can't eat that on the go so I will try a little shake. I will let you know how I like it. First day will be on Thursday.
I think you did a great job! If it were me I would have gotten the super cheesy burrito smothered in nacho cheese sauce.
ReplyDelete"They" say do your research before you go out to eat. I say, it's not always possible, so make the best choices you can eventually you'll know what is "safe" at your favorite restaurants.
