Hi, I'm back! Confession plus what I ate yesterday, Monday 10-17-11

Hello all!  I feel bad I haven't been updating this at all.  I can't really use the excuse that I've been "too busy" because things chilled out a lot after baby girl's 1st birthday party on the 8th.  (It was a great success by the way!)  I did have more birthday celebrations though, so I've had some busy weekends.  It's no excuse though.  I promised I'd post the "good, bad and ugly" on this blog and I haven't delivered on that, so I am very sorry to you and to myself; I have really let my healthy lifestyle go these last few weeks.  I barely tracked my food at all.  I just opened up WeightWatchers.com and was embarrassed to see I had postings on my wall from the 8th that I just now saw.  (Sorry girls, if you're reading this!)  

I weighed in yesterday morning for the first time since the 3rd of October and wasn't at all surprised to see that I'm over goal again.  (Insert heavy sigh.)  I weighed in at 131.6 lbs.  I was disappointed but I also knew that it was well deserved; I have had a ridiculous amount of cake and ice cream since baby girl's birthday party week, between cake pop making before the party and making more cake on her actual birthday and then attending two birthday parties the following weekend.  Yellow cake with chocolate frosting, yellow cake with vanilla frosting, chocolate fudge cake, rainbow white cake, chocolate strawberry cake, pumpkin spice cake, red velvet cupcakes and some other cake I'm not too sure about!  I am ALL CAKED OUT.  We also ate pizza and fast food more times than I care to admit.  Don't even get me started on the candy.  We still have a lot of candy leftover from baby girl's party, and it's mostly chocolate.  I'd say we have a few pounds of purple, black and white M&M's, dark chocolate Hershey kisses, milk chocolate kisses, Almond Joys, Kit Kats, etc.  I'm a little freaked out!  Anyway...

I decided to recommit to WW yesterday after my less-than-desirable weigh in.  I had good intentions.  I woke up, had a low point breakfast, made plans to grocery shop, then the hubby got home from work super early and my plans changed.  We decided to go run a couple errands and take the kids to the pumpkin patch, but we got hungry while we were out and made bad choices.   We settled on Mexican since the restaurant was close to the pumpkin patch (and they had Margarita Monday.)  None of the "healthier" choices appealed to me yesterday so I was "bad", but at least I tracked it all.  It kept me full the entire day though, so I ended up not eating dinner.  I probably shouldn't have had the margarita though.  Oh well, moving on!  This is what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast (8 pts)

1/4 c. Stater Bros carton egg whites, 2 slices Oscar Meyer center cut bacon, 2 slices Sara Lee Delightful whole wheat toast with 1/2 Tbsp of Smart Balance light and 2 organic skim milk lattes with 1 Tbsp Coffee mate fat free caramel vanilla liquid creamer. 

Late lunch/early dinner at Acapulco Mexican restaurant (approx 51 pts)

16 chips with salsa, a garden salad with an oz of Ranch dressing, 1 strawberry margarita, 3 mini chicken flautas, 1 cheese enchilada, about 1/3 c. of pinto beans, about 1/4 c. of Mexican rice and for dessert a mini fried ice cream (shared with my little boy.)  

Yikes, I used approximately 59 pts+ yesterday!  I had to guess at the points though, but if I was anywhere near accurate I am left with 26 weekly points until Monday.  I need to be careful since Sunday is our traditional dinner out/pumpkin carving night with our extended family. I desperately need to go grocery shopping since we've run out of a lot of staples.  My breakfast was pretty ghetto ridiculous this morning, but you'll see later when I post today's menu tonight.  I have turkey tenderloins in the crock pot for dinner so that's good.  Thanks for reading and thanks to those of you who gave me a little push to come back.  I needed it!
