Saturday 9-17-11

Ohh man...what a gnarly day.  It started well enough, then got crazy and ended up with me going into the red again (points-wise.)  The hubs and I checked out some properties on our way to Costco and were out longer than we planned to be. By the time we got home from Costco I was starving (because without realizing it I went 7 1/2 hours without eating, a huge mistake for me), so I made some dumb choices like sharing a pb&j with my son because it was quick & easy and then finishing off his leftover chicken quesadilla from last night. Then we went to a boxing match/bbq at my parents'. They were great and made some chicken breast so I could avoid carne asada, and everything was ok points-wise. I even had points leftover to enjoy some of the pumpkin bread with cream cheese icing I baked for the occasion.  Then an uncle of mine showed up with Papa John's pizza, which I haven't had in a loooong time.  I did well staying away for a while, til my son wanted some.  He eats everything but the crust, and I hate wasted food so I ate his crust.  But that was such a tease and I ended up getting a full slice of my own, and then another.  Why I do this to myself I will never know.  I have been having way too many slip-ups like this in the last couple weeks.  The trick is to move on and learn from it rather than dwell, so that's what I'm going to try to do. Gaaah...this was what today looked like:

Breakfast (8 pts)
1 slice "Delightful" pumpkin spice french toast with Smart Balance Light and 1 tsp Aunt Jemima Butter Lite syrup, 1/4 c.egg whites, 2 turkey sausage links and 2 skim milk/sugar free hazelnut lattes.

Snack (3 pts-ish?)
A few Costco samples. 1 piece of orange chicken, half a sip of berry yogurt smoothie and 2 Artisan tortilla chips

Lunch (20 pts? I had to guess at the Albertaco's quesadilla)
1/4 of my son's pb&j (made with Sara Lee Delightful bread) and what was left of his chicken quesadilla from yesterday. When I looked up "chicken quesadilla" on WW online I found points values all across the board, so to be safe I went with one of the highest values.

Dinner (12 pts)
3 oz grilled chicken breast, 1/2 c. rice, 1/2 c. beans, 2 corn tortillas and Diet Sunkist.

Dessert (5 pts)
1 slice of pumpkin bread with cream cheese glaze

Random "snack" (18 pts!!!)
2 slices Papa John's 14" pepperoni pizza

Well, at least I know we're staying home tomorrow to work on the house so I shouldn't be anywhere near temptations, and I have thawed chicken breasts in the fridge so I WILL cook something healthy tomorrow evening.  Monday I am going to stop neglecting my body and I WILL exercise, no matter what I have going on, even if I have to wake up extra early to do it.  This not working out thing is just not working out for me.  I've been making too many excuses lately and it's got to stop.  Ok, rant over.  Tomorrow is a new day.  Goodnight folks!
