Saturday 11-19-11

Hubby and I did a lot of running around today in preparation for Tuesday's trip to Oklahoma.  My parents took the kiddies for us so that we could get in and out of stores more quickly, and so they could spend time with them since they'll miss them so much next week.  I know I said yesterday that I was going to resist eating at a restaurant while my parents had our kids, but I totally gave in.  We were out for so long and we were pretty famished so we decided to try the new Smashburger.  (We meant to go to Subway but changed our minds at the last second.)  I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich a la carte since I had a feeling it would be in the double digits points-wise and I drank a diet soda instead of the wine I really wanted to have.  After our meal hubby suggested they might have nutritional info available since they're a chain, and they did!  My sandwich was 15 points plus! I was super happy I didn't order fries.  After lunch we got a lot done and we even got started on Christmas shopping, which was fun.  All in all it was a great day and I am happy to report that I used exactly all of my 36 points plus and not a point more.  Here is what I ate today:

Breakfast (10 pts)
Breakfast burrito with 44 g frozen hash browns cooked in olive oil, onions, tri-color peppers, 1/2 c. fat free egg sub, 2 slices center cut bacon, 1/2 oz reduced fat cheddar cheese, homemade salsa and a low carb flour tortilla. I also drank two organic skim milk/sugar free hazelnut lattes.

Lunch at Smashburger (15 pts)
Spicy Baja grilled chicken sandwich (pepper jack, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, onions, spicy chipotle mayo and fresh jalapenos on a spicy chipotle bun) and a Diet Coke.  I am so happy I resisted fries and alcohol.

Dinner (10 pts)
Blackened tilapia, 1/2 c. lemon and herb wild and long grain rice pilaf and organic mixed baby greens topped with 1 Tbsp Hidden Valley Spicy Ranch dressing.

Dessert (1 pt)
1 very large honeycrisp apple diced and baked with 1 Tbsp Smart Balance Light, 1 packet of Splenda and a whole lot of Korintje cinnamon. It was delicious and reminded me of a crustless apple pie, yum!

This is the best I've done on a Saturday in quite a while, so I am very pleased with myself.  I didn't get a formal workout in though, but at least I wasn't totally sedentary either.  I was pretty busy all day.  Now I am going to go lay on the couch and enjoy some movie time with my hubs.  Good night all!
