Thank you so much @Hazelnut20!! You've been such an inspiration to me, with your wonderful blog, that I was hoping this might help someone else -- even if that someone is just me next year, having fallen back into a rut
Yesterday was stressful, as visits with my mom always are. We skipped breakfast, knowing it would be a high point day. We went out for burgers at a local place that actually makes pretty healthy burgers. They use grassfed, free range, organic beef. and the burgers aren't greasy at all. I got a whole wheat/wholemeal bun and lots of veggies on mine and guestimated 23 points. My son offered me his fries and I only ate two of them before thanking him and asking him to move them to the other side of the table, away from me
We ended up leaving early, but since it's a 2.25 hour drive, we didn't get home until dinner time. My son really wanted a pizza, so that's what we did. I've actually weighed a slice of pizza from this place before and compared the grams to the weight watchers website, so I'm pretty sure that the points value is correct. I made a very large salad while we were waiting for the pizza to be delivered and I had 18 points of pizza. Bruce and I made sure we got our walking in with walks in the morning and the evening. So including a small dollop of cream in my espresso and a small amount of light vinaigrette on my salad, I had 47 points. Not to bad for a splurge day.
We have a party at my sister in law's tonight. I've already offered to bring a large salad. My other sister in law is a wine rep so she always brings lots of great wine. So we might end up using most of our points >.<
My weight today was unchanged from Wednesday, which is fabulous considering I ate out (means lots of salt and water retention). Usually on a Sunday, my weight is a pound or two higher than the previous Wednesday. I always see my biggest losses on Tuesday and Wednesday.
